Pros of Smoking

[milabue]

It's a good indicator for people who are bad at decision making and have low discipline and self control. It's like wearing a sign: "I don't care about my health, the health of others and the environment. Iam an unreliable, selfish and smelly person."

part true part nope

"bad at decision making / low discipline"
only for some people

wearing a sign: "I don't care about my health,

true

the health of others and the environment

false
nonsmokers can only be affected when they are indoors with smokers
banning indoor smoking (at least in most places) is a good thing
banning outdoor smoking is just being an asshole

the only environmental bad effect is taking up space where food could be grown... which is not unique to that crop

and that last bit of yours is a weak attempt at insult

Does sound like a self righteous point of view

And other studies showing it has no effect.

There's an other one.

I believe there is maybe a small effect on muscle strength for single takes. One of the reason is the protocol they use to assess the strengh (hand held dynanometers vs. isokinetic), the second one is more sensitive and lower the p-value. Then you have positive studies. There is maybe a positive effect for reaction time and coordination too.

Sport people want to dope and there's research about boosting. You know... stupid comptetion.
I beleive one of the reason we don't go further with that nicoshit is that nicotine is a chronic poison.

Idk what the erections have to do with dht.

For dysfunctional erections there were explainations with the tar, blood vessels, hemodynamics, NO. I can't remember stuff on androgen receptors downreglulation.

Although let's be honest, most smokers do tend to lean toward the "bad" end of the spectrum and use it as a crutch unfortunately.

As most of the drugs... take them time to time to help, it's wonderfull... but everyday is going down to hell.

I add a pro for smoking :
SMOKING IMPROVES YOUR SUCKING SKILLS
But beware boys, smoke rings will make you wear cockrings !

Nope. Non-smokers health is always affected by smokers, due to the immense pollution that smoking produces.

Cigarette butts are made of plastic, and are so incredible contaminated with a plethora of toxins, that they permanently damage the soil they are laying on.... And they are EVEREYWHERE. Cut open a animal in a city, and you will find cigarette butts, especially in birds.
Cigarette ash is everywhere, no matter what you test. All top soil, all surfaces in every house, all wildlife, all vegetables, the whole ocean, EVERYTHING is, to varieng degree, contaminated with cigarette ash. The whole world is an ashtray.

Thats why smoking is the worst drug on the planet by far, even worse than any illegal drug out there. Because smoking always, without any exceptions, affects anyone first hand. One cigarette maybe isn't a big deal, but the world's populations smokes more than 5 trillion of these fuckers every fucking year.

Thats why iam so mad about smokers.

Valid point about the plastic butts. That pisses me off too actually. I put the blame on the corporations, but I can see why you'd be pissed at the consumers too.

I know there were plastic filters several decades ago, but if they still exist, they don't exist here.
ash? a pollutant? pffft
and "immense pollution"? c'mon that's a lame attempt at trolling - you can do better

 

[knottyboySC]

Since automobile manufactures quit putting ash trays in cars have you noticed how many butts lay along side the road. I was in Phoenix recently stopped at a light in the left turn lane. I looked out and against the cement barrier was over a foot of butts. Just sayin. Keep your butt to yourself.

I've got no clue what filters are made of. I think I've heard fibreglass before as well. I just assumed buddy was right about some sort of plastic because thinking about it, I don't think I've ever seen a mostly-degraded butt. They seem to last forever.

Ash is no joke. Dozens of towns around the world are modern day Pompeii's. Buried under 5 feet of cigarette ash. We'll dig them out, someday...

Tobacco and the Environment - ASH

From growing the tobacco plant, to the disposal of butts and packaging, the whole life cycle of a cigarette takes a heavy toll on the environment.

ash.org.uk

The article has everything linked with sources. Actualy read it.

I know you won't, because this is the internet, and if someone comes around with facts that goes against your already established opinion, than you will blindfold yourself, and stick your fingers in your ears.

 

[milabue]

I know you

nope
don't pretend that you know anyone: it's rude

from the site you mentioned:
"British American Tobacco (BAT) stated one of its goals was to reduce emissions by 30% by 2025."
fuck the BAT up the ass with a splintery stick
"reduce emissions" is bullshit

"as consumption increases so does the global environmental impact"
ok, someone states the obvious as if it were an astounding revelation? don't trust them: they're spewing propaganda

previously, i did admit that there was environmental impact from farming tobacco
well, those impacts are waaaaaaay less than those of farming meat

"if someone comes around with facts that goes against your already established opinion, than you will blindfold yourself, and stick your fingers in your ears."
oh, for...
ok, at that level of argument: I know you are, but what am I

Are you trying to smoke him ?
