Yet all the people who died at my work due to lung cancer were heavy smokers.Quote:
lung cancer could happen too everyone...even when you never smoke a cigarette....
Smoking is like playing russian roulete. Sure it can go fine for a long time until you hear a bang, that's your lung saying I can't take it anymore, put me out of my misery!
Seeing that I've lost a -smoker- friend to lung cancer, I'm all for this law.
The only problem is that when you're in a packed bar, you're now attacked by body odour, bad breath etc.... which used to be concealed by the heavy 'smokescreen'.
A co-worker who worked under me also died of lung cancer two months ago. He died within two months after he got the bad news. I still can't believe he's not with us anymore. I still remember the times I asked him when he would stop smoking and he kept saying he's trying and he's trying but it's not easy until it was too late. I miss him a lot!
damned..I thought I was not the only one who smoked on this forum....where is the support smokers....shame on you not.....in these days is everything bad 8) :twisted:
Maybe all the smokers decided to live healthy ;-)
Most of the board members here are from the US, I think. Smoking bans have been in place there for years, last time I was there I noticed that few people smoked- a lot less than in Holland at least.
Man, what kind of guys are you when thereīs so much death around you. :lol:
Most of my friends are (heavy) smokers, my parents are smokers and many other family members and no one died. Iīm not saying that smoking doesnīt cause lung cancer but itīs funny to read your posts about "so many people you know who died of lung cancer because they were heavy smokers". Sounds like a massacre.
A friend of mine was diagnosed with lung cancer last week. He wasnīt a smoker but he had trouble with his throat since he was a kid. The cells spread to the lung and thatīs the bad news. Sure, smoking is bad an sucks but being a smoker is not a suicide at all.
When it comes to this law in Holland, I think itīs wrong and pointless. If you want to care about peopleīs health, close down the fucking tobacco industry. Grab the problem where it really lasts. I know itīs not fair to non-smokers in restaurants and bars but there are many solutions. You can make it right for non-smokers and those who like to enjoy a cigarette with coffee.

Ah, our government depends on the taxes on tobacco for a significant part of their budget. They won't stop you from smoking, they'll just increase the taxes to 'discourage' it.Quote:
