@Morryjnr indeed! Although have you seen the e-cig? I only just herd about them. It’s basically a fakre electronic cigarette that glows when you suck it, gives you just as much smoke (water vapour) and is 99 percent water, 1 percent niccotene. Do I think it’s a good idea? I’m not sure, because it may be healthier for the smoker, but not as healthy for everyone else… because being allowed to smoke it indoors might make it more ‘acceptable’ again, and more influential to kids.

youre welcome to keep smoking till the day you die.
It will get harder and harder to buy cigarettes at 16… because you’ll have to track down a 50 year old to buy them for you.

i never said i like the world the way things are but if people started living EVEN longer, there would be serious problems delivering the needs to people worldwide.
dont get me wrong, i dont wish people died and i even hate making the point but……… bottom line is overpopulation could be the an even bigger killer than cigarettes and im more concerned about the lack of care there is available to the current population let alone any increase in population.

This is like your other video on your diet, cutting out sugar in order for our buds to adapt without the need of sugar.
Same method applies to cigarettes.
The craving for nicotine, simply cut out the nicotine and the everyday smoker will adapt.
Cigarettes can be made to have the same substantial flavour, yer without the nicotine. There are the patches and gum available to all smokers.
Every breath counts, so make yours last longer.. Quit smoking to all you smokers!

please dont take me for an arsehole or a nazi with no feeling towards fellow human beings, i hate the way the world is and i wish it would facilitate more peoples needs its just that its not happening already and i think an increase in population would be detrimental to the world. UNTIL we got our act together.
i appreciate you replying.

So, if I get this right, you are essentially telling me that you’d prefer something that is killing people to stay in our society… because it would be better if people died?
I feel like youre just playing devils advocate, and won’t let up. Either that or… *runs*

I wonder how the world would be if you were only allowed to have only the firstborn uncastrated.
