hihi,

Not sure if any of you have seen this already but I found this doco (also featuring the 'smoking baby') interesting:

Sex, Lies, & Cigarettes' is a documentary about tobacco industry behaviour and its results in Indonesia.




(with Indonesian subtitles for all you long time Indo Asians lurking the forums)

I don't think natural selection means what you think it means. Especially the natural part.

what you think natural selection is over now that we dont all compete for food and sexual production?

it's still very much alive... but instead we're competing with our intelligence... if your unable to think for yourself and see the obvious signs that smoking isnt good for you then your stupid and deserve to die.

people need to think for themselves... or die to a easily preventable choice. natural selection in a modern world.

Looks like its going to be a thread full of anti-smoking drones and middle class people who have never wanted for anything in life talking about darwinism.

Whether you chose to smoke or not you're still going to die. Enjoy.

True, smoking just increases the chance that you'll die younger and in a horribly painful way. Enjoy.

That was a pretty cool doco. Crazy seeing young kids puffing away.

I was a smoker, various reasons. I decided to try e-smokes as I was too weak willed to just stop. Now I am on the lowest nicotine content and will probably go down to 0 soon. Unfortunately, most of the time my liquid which I order from US and UK is seized at customs. Australia is very against the non-cancer version of smoking unless there is a brand like Nicorette behind it, you cant even get it prescription. Yet its very simple to go buy a packet of cancer.

I have been on e-smokes for about 4 years now and my doctor has said my health is the same as a non-smoker, I have all my taste buds back and my breathing is better than average. I think it's a little silly that this option is not available here. Sure people should just quit, but at the end of the day I would rather my loved ones pick up an e-smoke than a real smoke...

Is it obvious? Or do you live somewhere where there has been a significant government effort to educate the public to the dangers of smoking?

Not so dissimilar to things today.

:D

It's pretty funny that a country which has banned Playboy has these kinds of issues. Get a clue.

I stopped smoking in 1999 but when I was in Netherlands in 2010 for some stupid reason I was just really drunk and someone offered me a cigarette and I smoked one.

Next day I felt so ridiculously guilty and just down on myself, haha. Stupid really, one cigarette in 10 years but I just felt I'd really let myself down.

This thread is going down faster than a 2 year old downing 40 ciggies a day.

Shame on all of you, particularly you pinky.
