    Smoking Lies

    The Anti's keep twisting the facts and nobody in the western media has the guts to tell the truth.

    90% of those who smoke will not die from a smoking related disease.

    Not all people who die from lung cancer have been exposed to smoke.

    Anti's have been trying to cause cancer in rats using passive smoking tests for the last 40 years and have failed.

    People can get many various diseases, death from cancer is only one outcome.
    Smoke entering your lungs is obviously very harmful no matter if its voluntary or accidental.
    I know many people who have died from lung cancer, all smokers.
    The cancer wards in hospitals are full of lung cancer patients who have smoked, ofcourse not all lung cancer is proven to be caused by smoking and smoking as a cause of death isnt written on the death certificate, so if you bend the fact you can come up with the figures you have above.

    Many diseases and cancers arnt linked to cigarettes, a patient can smoke and die of a smoking related disease without ever becoming a smoking statistic.

    In the past goverment warnings became compulsory on cigarette ads, now if you watch the telly you will see warnings on chocolate ads (ferrero rocher ad an example) surely you can see where we are headed.

    Actual morality is doing what is right regardless of what you're told. Religious morality is doing what you're told, regardless of if it's right.

    That is true but between 2/3's and 3/4's are exposed.

    and if what you're saying is true, which I doubt it still means that 1 in 10 smokers will die due to smoking, which is 1 in 10 too many.

    Simple Fact - Smoking Kills.

    Well Morris you've convinced me. I'm off down to the shop to buy myself twenty major and take up smoking. I might even try and get the five year old and the six year old in the garden to take it up too.

    Are smokers in any way ashamed of the filth they leave on the streets and outside buildings?
