Your logic itself is not valid.

Smoking is not illegal, a heroin is.

Likewise, not everybody will die because they smoke. There are tons of people who are still alive and kicking at the age of 80 even if they smoke a lot.

I understand where you're getting at. smoking is bad, and I hate smokers, but there's nothing you can do about it. You can advise them to stop but you cannot force them. Smoking is very normal in London, and it's SO annoying to be walking in the streets and being a second-hand smoker. I can't go up to them and force the God forsaken stick out of their fingers, but I can make a disgusted face and hopefully they'll be embarrassed about it (most likely not )

Like ccm said, not everyone would die. But most of them will. Let them.

Which part are you at?
Its so hard to sweat here in Manchester until I went for frisbee and sweat, even then I cooled down in like 5-10mins.

London. =)

almost the same as mine place since its only 45mins away ... the same bloody bad weather.. LOL ... i am complaining like an englishman now .. haha

it is an accident of history that smoking is 'legal'......knowing what we know now, and if tobacco is a new product, it will have been banned.........however, it is an old product....

it is no accident many countries and local authorities have enacted smoking bans in increasing areas......including uk.....eg smoke free pubs.....

of course one cannot stop people from smoking in allowed areas.....

but does one have to encourage them by buying them cheap cigarettes?......

I think it is your logic that is not valid. First of all, what does smoking being legal or illegal have anything to do with this? We should discourage our friends against doing anything that is 'bad', it doesn't matter whether it's legal or not. You think only things that are illegal are 'bad'? And this is not about whether you help your friend smuggle something that is against the law and then you get prosecuted or not, it is about whether are you doing the 'right thing'.

And I fail to understand your last paragraph - what is your point? I think enough research has been done in the past to prove that smoking is bad for one's health, you mean you actually have to die before lets say the age of X before something is considered to be bad for one's health?

On topic: Whos enjoying UK weather? lolol

Cooking in Newcastle is fun,fresh food,especially meat..steak,chops are reasonably cheap sometimes even after conversion!! Well,that is at least the case in this small humble town,people are friendly my housemates come from many countries.fun...

hi there! any natwest users? did any of you apply for advantage blue international?

regardless of watever reasons, validation or watever ... is this about studying in the UK? ... please, go to Health subforum and discuss there ... else i will hitting the report button ... thanks

On topic: lol, nope i am not enjoying ... if its only cold i dont mind, but with the showers of rain ... its @#$@#$@# ...

yeap, natwest user here since there is a branch in my campus ... dont think i will be getting it, coz i dont feel worth it ...
by looking at the form, its benefit is:
1. Mobile Phone Insurance
2.25% cashback on top gigs/shows (note its cashback not discounts)
3. 16-25 railcard (can easily apply for £26/year)
4. ISIC (already got mine in m'sia)
5. Orange telco sim (already got O2 FOC during uni registration)
6. Number vaults (omg, this is stupid .. u can just save it up to google or ur laptop, unless u r doing top class secret mission or something which still doesnt make much sense)
7. Gadget cover

the other benefits does fit to be benefits at all ... so other than no.1 and 7 .. others seems like useless extra ...

does anyone of you use monthly contract phone here? which retail agent is more reliable - carphone warehouse or phones4u?

why don't you do that.....

we are talking students abusing their uk student visas by smuggling in more than the allowed duty free cigarettes, wrong from both the legal and moral points of view......

it's abuses like this, including msians 'jumping plane' that may result in increased difficulty for other law abiding msians, both in getting student visas, as well as the possible withdrawal of visa-on-arrival for msian tourists......

sup sup peeps! Just came back from Paris. Had a fantastic weekend/shopping experience. All aboard to the UK already or do we still have poor chaps stranded in Malaysia?

I went for Carphone Warehouse. So far so good no problems what so ever.

planning to change to sim only 12mth contract once i get my debit card ... i heard both retailer r good, best to check out both for different offers ...

addon: my friend just got a htc desire from phones4u at a good deal, everything looks good ...

lol ... u like to be challenged right? ... do u understand the meaning of off topic? .. or u r so great till u forgotten wat is means? ... there is a health and fitness subforum here in LYN and u can clearly and openly state ur ideas/reason/smuggling crap there, u think the admins of LYN setup that subforum for fun? ...
read through u post again plz .. each of ur post emphasized more on smoking, health or watever crap rather than other student smuggling stuff they r doing ... i have saved all ur posted just in case someone wanna edit it to for further arguement ...

british men always get drunk by consuming too much alcohol ... y not u go and bash them up telling them its bad for health and a waste of money? instead of speaking logics here, u should know that action wins over words ...

case close ... and reported ...
