The rules and laws are not trying to protect the smoker, or do them a favor by making it more difficult for then to smoke. It's about protecting non-smokers from second hand smoke inhalation. I had to drive away from my office today and on returning I saw someone standing well away from the building having a smoke, so the smoke wouldn't blow back into the windows. When I smoked I can remember the horror of being forced outside to smoke. Now it's "get well away you puff addicts". Pretty soon the only place you can smoke is in your own car, with all the winds shut tight and a fine if you use your air conditioner and any of the smoke gets out. Interestingly, the UN commissioned the largest study of second hand smoke ever done, with tens of thousands of subjects. The study results were never widely publicized because the study found either no or strictly limited stastical correlation between second hand smoke and subject health. ID: 544766 ·

The first part lists chemicals known to cause cancer, called carcinogens: Dimethylnitrosamine Ethylmethylnitrosamine Nitrosopyrrolidine Hydrazine Vinyl Chloride Urethane Formaldehyde Other Toxic Agents: Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Cyanide, Acrolein, Acetadehyde, Nitrogen oxides, Ammonia, Pyridine, Nitric acid, Mathylamine, Hydrogen cyanide, Indole, 3-hydroxypyridine, 3-vinylpyridine, Acetone, Acetonitrile, Acrolein, 1,3-Butadiene, mg, Nitrous acid, isoquioline, Isoamylamine, 3-Cyanopyridine. This is only a partial list. They put these chemicals in cigarettes to reduce tar while maintaining the level of nicotine necessary to keep them addictive. Keeping the tar down helps to calm people's fears about health risks. Since the companies are free of any supervision they are not compelled to reveal the chemicals they use. But recent breaks in the wall of secrecy have revealed that cigarettes are only about 40% tobacco, and 60% other junk. That's a conspiracy!!! Account frozen... ID: 547487 ·

My other Grandpa has smoked since he was 14 but worked as a barber all his life. The smoking, living grandpa has nothing wrong with his health other than carple tunnel in both wrists (from comb and scissor motion) and swollen ankles (from standing and walking circles around the barber chair all day). So if it's between hard work and smoking, I say hard work is the one that's bad for you. I'm in the Navy and there are very few smoking areas on the bases I've been on. On one ship the "smoking lamp" was out 60% of the time. When Grandpa heard this he was upset and wanted to know what happened to the times he would open his rations and find 2 smokes and 1 piece of toilet paper! I've never been a sprinter, but I'll out distance everyone I know, and probably the majority of people on base I don't actually work with. Back when they let us, I smoked while running with my crew on base, I beat everyone on the softball team, all but one of the soccer team, and I was smoking! What's the deal with former smokers? I know plenty of nonsmokers that will let you smoke while riding in their car, I don't know a single former smoker that will let you do the same... ID: 558866 ·

The new Cigarette Case of the future BTW, I'd buy those in a hearbeat. I've been overseas where they have the gruesome pictures on the packs, all the smokers I know love buying those! It's fun to share with our smoking buddies back stateside!

I know plenty of nonsmokers that will let you smoke while riding in their car, I don't know a single former smoker that will let you do the same... I also realized that most of the former smokers become really militant. When I quit smoking first time in 1993 I even was told that I was incredibly tolerant against people who smoked. - Well, I just didn't care. Sure, I put a "Please don't smoke" sign on the glove-box in my car, but I used to tell my smoking friends that I wouldn't mind if they ignored it. Otherwise, in '94, I had an annoying colleague whom I used to give a ride since both of us worked some hundred kilometers away, and out of our colleagues I was the one who lived closest to him. And he smoked a lot. I told him not to smoke in my car - and even made more stops that he could have a smoke outside. Once he didn't respect my wish. It was weekend, we were on the way home - and he had had some beer, and became rude - and lit a cigarette. Because of the temperature outside it was not really appropriate to open the windows, and I told him to wait for the next stop. He just didn't care. When he finished it and lit the next one, telling me not to be so intolerant, it was time for me to make an end. So I just drove the car to the next truck-stop, pretending I wanted to buy something to drink. When he went inside the shop before me to buy more beer, I returned to the car, started the engine again, and left the truck-stop without him. For me, it was too much to know a rude drunken guy in my car who didn't respect my order (yes, I insisted on not smoking!). And since then I used to decide spontaneously whether or not to give some colleague a ride. But since I started smoking again in fall 2004, I always used to respect the wishes of people who gave me a ride. It's their car, at last. Of course I'd ask if they won't mind - and without their allowance, I'd just wait for the next opportunity. Account frozen... ID: 558885 ·
