Haha....smoking becomes a social problem when you have people lighting up all over the place without regard for no smoking signs or people beside them.

I'm not a smoker, though i do have a few friends who smoke. They're mostly okay, perfectly normal excepting the need to pop off somewhere for a fag every now and then. One common characteristic is their inability to stop though. They claim they can stop whenever they want, but they also admit the longest they've gone without is usually a few weeks.

Smokers are okay by me as long as they are considerate and take people into account when lighting out. Though i have yet to understand the rationale of rolling RM1 up and burning it. With added benefits of discoloured teeth, bad breath, decreased heart/lung capacity, cancer, impotence and all the rest. One of my friends does mention smoking helps his bowel movements...

I suppose cockerish should be able to help about the pros of smoking since he feels so strongly on the subject?

hehe....just cirrhosis of the liver, hepatitis, and a bunch of OTHER problems. Still better than cancer right? And you get to go around all day in an alcoholic daze when you get to the totally hooked stage
