    Mines on an opinion posted on an internet forum, a label is on a cigarette box.

    I disagree with having to write on cigarette boxs that it will increase your risk of getting cancer.
    But i agree that smoking can increase your risk of getting cancer.

    People take them for comic relief, not truth.

    The problem is that anyone who smokes knows full aware what they are doing, but most flat out dont *care*. Thats the problem, people need to care more about what they do, and what the effects of those actions are... not about right or wrong, but cause and effect.

    I smoke da ganj daily, if not just a tobacco mixed spliff.

    Rolling my own tobacco seems to give a much more pleasant smoke... cigarettes are really too big, and with all the chemicals to help it burn/preserve/nasty paper the filter seems kinda moot. I can smoke a lil tobacco spliff and be happy, but I can't smoke a cigarette... and why would ANYONE when you can roll your own for what I would consider a "reasonable" price... a pack of *inferior* smokes for $7, yea right... cheapy top roll your own IMO is still superior to marlboro/newport/camel/kool etc that I've tried... and there are much better roll your own's out there (bali shag mmm) :)

    Your post and the label on the box are purlely informative. You can agree, disagree, or agree to disagree with your (or any) post, just as you can with the label posted on a carton of cigs.

    No, most folks will continue on believing that label is there because of environmentalist hippies (woo hoo!), but the label has served its purpose... people know the truth now... there was a time when cigs had no associated health risks.

    One big problem is that cigarette's have no mental connection to a field of tobacco. Very few people even consider themselves smoking an herb. The death labels helped to make that seperation... a seperation from nature that entices the human mind with arrogance and futility.

    Narcissus didn't see it coming, neither does the majority of the American population :)

    my wife smokes (tobacco). she's got her own little smoking porch outside. i'd probably be dead by now if she did inside the house.

    that mary jane erb is the only thing i've ever smoked in my life, and that's been a couple of decades. i did inhale though. and i don't think anything should be unlawful to possess.

    I'm considering quitting to make myself more attractive, that's lame, but I'm sick of hearing guys complain, or getting turned off when they find out I smoke.

    luckily i have been able to get myself down to one cigarette a day. i dont know if i was ever truly addicted, but i did enjoy them though. even if i never quit, atleast i'll know it didnt get as bad as it could have. thats one thing us cigarette smokers think about.. because smoking is a vice. a selfish vice, albeit.. but one nonetheless. its a mere decision.

    consider this, though. ok so they take the label off the cigarette box. for a long time really, the risks of cancer will be known to the general public. but after years and years, it may be forgotten overtime. it would depend on education ofcourse.. but i believe one good education factor is fear, and what is a scarier word than the word "cancer"? to a child? considera child picks up a pack on their parents cigarettes, thinks hm i want to smoke this, then reads that label on the box and stops to reconsider? we may not realize it, but those very labels may be what keeps a ton of people from smoking in the first place altogether... you never know.

    My husband quit smoking this month and I am super glad because it used to be the sole source of arguments on road trips with us, because we'd take the kids and I think it is ignorant to smoke with kids in the car and he said his mom did it his whole childhood and he turned out fine...soooo, yeah I don;t like the smell of smoke and am so grateful for the change:)

    You gotta get down with the roll your own: cheapr and healthier.

    I'd recommend American Spirits if you want to go the extra-healthy way (in a drum... 16$ in Arkansas... possibly more or less wherever it is you live). I used to smoke a pack a day of regular ciggs. After switching to roll your own I only smoke around 7-10 a day because they last longer and are a tad stronger... and I a drum usually lasts me almost a month. Plus, it tastes like real tobacco and not chemicals.

    I went from spending around 150$ a month on ciggs to 12$ (I smoke Drum tobacco... I kinda like it better than Spirits and it's cheaper, but I'll probably switch back to Spirits next month for diversity). I roll mine with a filter, so it comes out really smooth. It takes a while to learn how to roll one well, especially with a filter... but you shouldn't have a problem with it if you already know how to roll a joint.
