Smoking should be banned.....The nasty smell, the contents they put inside those cigarettes is just upright disgusting. I mean why would you smoke something that has car battery acid in them or worse..

... people do realise that there's a cigarette brand called "Death" cigarettes that has a skull as the label and a huge warning notice... and yet still sells incredibly well?

All these warnings are nonsense. As an ex-smoker I know that I never once looked at my pack after I'd bought it. It was in my pocket and I just reached in for the next cigarette on auto-pilot. The pack is utterly meaningless.

The solution to smoking is very, very simple, just add small amounts of an emetic to the cigarettes. Smoke more than say 5 a day and you start throwing up. Might be popular with bulemics, but when people start feeling ill every time they have one it'll be much easier to quit. This is actually why I quit, I started feeling sick after smoking and gagging on the smoke. It was easy to quit when every cigarette made me want to throw up.

Do you know this joke?

A man came to the tobacco store and ordered a packet of cigarettes. When the shop assistant gave him one, the man read the warning: "Smoking causes the impotence!" He hesitated and then asked the assistant: "Err...can you give me those with the cancer?"

I see that some health nuts are now even trying to restrict the new fad of electronic cigarettes. where will it all end?
