Cigarettes don't kill people. People kill people.

[IndianaJones]

Truth.

1. You must be mistaken, this is the lounge. GD is over there and down the 5 1/2 minute hallway.

:woohoo:

[Beaverhausen]

2. I thought ads killed people

Movies too. Movies kill people.

[redqueen]

7. And video games... and some types of music.

:scared:

[againes654]

9. Video games only kill vidoe game people

unless....what video game are you refering to, bush world 2? That one does kill people.

[Dr. Strange]

15. Video killed the radio star.

But that wasn't a video game.

3. They'll get my cigarettes from me when they pry them from my cold, dead hands.

[triguy46]

5. Having been a respiratory therapist, I know exactly what you describe.

Death, one breath at a time over a period of years. It ain't pretty or glamorous.

[_testify_]

12. You do realize that's case with or without cigarettes....right?

Things fall apart.

[triguy46]

16. No. Not every death is similar to the long, protracted agony...

of chronic bronchitis or emphysema, where the patient literally is too short of breath to eat, to talk, to walk, to take a crap. Where each breath is a battle. No, death is not all the same.

4. Cigarettes do kill people

but
cars/trucks/suv's kill people
trains/busses kill people
air planes kill people
boats kill people
sharks kill people
guns kill people
knifes kill people
alcohol kills people
drugs kill people (some of them at least)
food kills people
stress kills people
lack of health kills people

and yes, people kill people.

We are all going to die, so if I want to smoke a cigarette, I will. :smoke:

10. Tobacco is the only consumer product

That will kill the consumer when used as intended by the manufacturer.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Yup — everyone who smokes dies

So does everyone who doesn't.

[triguy46]

17. Some deaths are more prolonged and painful than others.

Spend some time in the chest unit of a hospital. It is a horrible way to go, suffocating over years.

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Don't preach to me

[baldguy]

20. Don't be facetious

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Define 'facetious'

[benEzra]

25. In a small percentage of cases, yes. So will alcohol, in a small percentage of cases...

so will pasta, if you don't eat it in moderation, via type 2 diabetes and/or heart disease.

[LeftyMom]

6. And spam. Don't forget spam.

Whoops, too late.

[IndianaJones]

18. steroids and HGH too...can't forget those. Deadly. nt.

[LeftyMom]

22. yeah, they're not vegan either

Which, surely, is apropos of nothing because a nice guy like you is definitely not engaged in a personal (and libelous) attack on another DUer.

[IndianaJones]

23. Barry Bonds posts here? nt.

[LeftyMom]

24. Do the other seventh graders think you're funny? nt

[NC_Nurse]

8. I thought the smoking wars were in GD...

guess I'll go over there....

[Pierre.Suave]

11. Cigarettes don't kill people. People that make cigarettes kill people.

There...

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Cigarettes don't kill people, the cancer caused by carcinogens...

Contained in the smoke released by cigarettes kills people.
