This article is awsome!!!!!!
smoking is a nasty habit.
plp shouldn't be smoking in the first place it causes lung desises and a whole bunch of other types of cancer (in that case don't smoke at all) it also causes second hand smoke so when you think that it doesn't cause harm to other people you are WRONG!!! and it kills our plannet. (another reason not to smoke)
Smoking does not kill our planet right?
Just people -- smokers and those around them!
Smoking does help kill our planet. Cigarette butts contain materials that take hundreds of years to disintegrate.
The chemical compounds found in cigarettes are also toxic and can kill birds and animals that might ingest them.
Smoking also releases toxic elements into the environment.
Did you know that cigarette smoke contains radioactive elements?
well yes and no yes if people are smoking constantly then yes but if theres a small persentige of the earth smoking then yes it could kill are earth so we must decrese the people smoking on earth
actually mr.anonymous, if that is your real name, smoking does not directly provoke harm upon our natural, graceful, and beautious mama earth. Although the smokee is capable of producing fighting fists of rage that may pound and produce harm to the dirt which is mother nature's bosom
well yes peopleshouldnt smoke. it causes all kinda of diseases. its dirty. and eventhough people think that it is cool it isnt. you will pay for it later in your life like yellow yeeth and lung diseases.
yes i belive people should not smoke because hurts the person somking and it hurts other people toob but back in the olden days doctors somtimes suggested the smoke when u get neverous
why do we let the goverment run our lives? What happen to personal responsibility?
i think that plp shood not smoke at all
TOTALLY.......people should not smoke at all.....its a disgusting habit!!! and it kills you too!!! smoking is bad :P
Yes, it is true smoking is a disgusting habit but so is picking your nose or not washing your hands after using the bathroom. BUT....what gives other people the opinion that they can openly imopse thier opinion upon smokers. When smokers dont impose their opinion on them. Not washing your hands after using the restroom causes many deseases also but we dont make you wear gloves when using public restroom or we dont make u use the bathroom outside..Further more the revenue that smokers have brought to the table due to smoking has aided in many research projects and cancer research.
