How did you do that ? Do you finish the coke cans you find on the sidewalk ?

I'm too young to smoke and I don't ever want to smoke. Cigarettes and any other kind of tobacco are unhealthy and unnecessary in my eyes, unless peolple want to use them for spiritual uses or whatever.
But it's amazing how many people my age (I'm a young teenager by the way) that I know actually smoke.

What he said. I don't do drugs with a negative effect upon one's body . . .

No. I enjoy living!

Like I mentioned in another thread, I started at age 15, then quit by 18 cuz I can't maintain it anymore. Too poor, see?

So you smokers in the West feel discriminated against, eh? I should be so lucky. Here men that I've just met routinely offer me cigarettes. Just because I'm male, they assume I must smoke too. Gender stereotyping IS that bad here. And even when I decline and reply: "No thanks, I don't smoke" they'd light up in front of me anyway! No need to be polite and care for the other person's health since he's not a woman! Aaaargh!

I can still walk away when in open spaces, but when in a conference room or a karaoke lounge, I have no choice but to smoke again myself, rather than inhale their second-hand smoke.

When I was about seven or so, I asked my mother if I could have a sip of her Coke. I, of course, picked up the can she used for an ashtray rather than the one with the Coke in it.

Not a smoker. For one, all the taxes on it make it super expensive.

At my school, 5% of the current enrollment will die from smoking. Here is a happy little picture of what you're lung will look like if you smoke:

In McDonald's, they should also put images about how your liver looks like once you're obese.

Well, in this case, I don't even know how that guy did to survive enough time to get as burned out lungs !

He should have died a long time ago then.

if u asked me the whole lung pic is like a fossil!and btw i've been smoking 20-30 cigarettes a day with no plans to quit yet.
imo as long as u keep a healthy lifestyle (ie:jogging,etc), u should be ok..

Health Canada, the federal dpeartment that deals with health in Canada, put images and messages on the sides of cigarette packages to try to prevent smoking. Some of them are old though. Here are some if anybody cares to take a look...

Here are some of the more graphic ones.
