I got downvoted for commenting this on a pro weed post. Does anyone agree with me?

Does anybody else find it strange that more and more people who have never smoked are getting lung cancer these days??

Cancers always been around. It's more prominent today because we know more about it.
There are plenty of factors that can cause cancer as it's just a cell gone bad. Plenty of time it's just chance. People can get liver cancer without ever having drank. Skin cancer with hardly ever going outside. Cancers mostly a matter of chance.

And like the post said a few weeks ago, why would the people who make money off cancer's 95 billion a year want it to stop. I'm 80% sure they have a cure locked in the same vault as KFC's recipe...

Well, there are more smokers dying from lung cancer than non smokers. But that factory stuff is so much more cancer producing, right ?
We can't fight million dollar corporations but we can outlaw smoking, especially since it's also highly addictive and has no benefits.

Oh my. We totally could. As one person we are small. But enough of us willing to not allow them to take that kind of control, we are unstoppable.
Smoking out in the open will not cause cancer in non smokers seeing as the non smokers will not take in enough toxins for a long enough period of time from a brief encounter. But let's say we take this right away from smokers who contributed to a very, very small amount of carcinogens that people encounter on a daily basis. Then what? We sit satisfied while the real problem still looms in the darkness and secrecy?

It's like pouring energy that could be used to put out a forest fire into putting out a candle in someone's home far far away, and calling it a day.

What about all the products that factory's make? Don't you care about that? Whose going to make your products

We can go to space. They are about to put a colony on Mars. I'm sure they can figure out how to at least not release those toxins into the environment if they really wanted to. The only reason they aren't doing it already is cost. Do you want to breathe in that shit so that they can make more money?

Smear all these things with carcinogens but a whiff of cigarette smoke is intolerable! "

Fine, if you can show me the list of carcinogens in my already all natural diet, then then i will accept your argument.

Fat soluable pesticides for one. And if you dont know what that means, it means that you cant wash it off with water. Have you seen how the people who spray these pesticides on our food are wearing full blown hazmat suits and what we're supposed to eat the food that has been coated with that? And you can't even wash it off. Sweetie if you don't know how to look these things up youself or haven't bothered to be aware.. well. Darwinism will have its way with you.

Guest, look at how many people eat/use all the stuff will all that shit the fda put in it our stuff that are dying. Then look how many people are dying by smoking.
You can buy the organic and all natural stuff if you think it's a lot safer, that's going into your body. But smoking goes into other people's bodies, and they also have to deal with the nasty precense smokers bring.

Oh and BTW any food that you consume is sprayed with this stuff whether if it's from a box or not, seeing as they all start in a field somewhere. So there is your list. However if you need more several food colorings (that had been previously approved by the fda) were found out to be cancerous and removed from the market hence the lab rat without knowledge or consent statement. There are sooooo many products that have been approved yet untested. So who knows what kinds of cancers the future holds

Either way I would say that these matters are more worthy of your time than a few people who are no longer allowed to smoke in closed spaces and are smoking out in an open air where u are more likely take in more carcinogens from those factories pumping out hundreds of kilograms of carcinogens per second that you cant smell.

Fairytale while what your saying is true a lot of the ways that we as a nation began to produce foods have changed drastically. Also as I have mentioned the fda approves hundreds of chemicals each year without proof of safety. And as I have mentioned again Noone is allowed to smoke inside of a building anymore with which I completely agree. However being outside and smoking will not cause any harm to people who are close enough to smell the smoke. It dissipates far to quickly to do so.

Ugh I give up. Consume yourselves with the smallest of matters and refuse to see how our once great nation is being bought out from underneath us. Be distracted by the shiny little problems multi billion companies dangle in front of us for the purposes of making money. Refuse to believe that this fda the people trust so dearly has no teeth against the millions of dollars being thrown at the lobbyists who convince our congressmen that they will be supported in their campaigns and their ambitions if they would just help them pass a specific law. Our generation is going to watch our middle class disappear. Forget your dreams of the white picket fence, slums and ghettos will be our future. And the worst part will be that it will be our fault for refusing to care.

Wow you got to this conclusion because you think smoking in public is ok to people passing by "because food is worse!!". We make a choice to eat the food, it won't hurt others like smoking hurts others. It doesn't matter how many facts you write because that doesn't change

Exactly, the point is that you choose to harm yourself by smoking/eating bad foods. Only smoking hurts others who have made a desicion to not kill themselves by taking in harmful chemicals

If a whiff of smoke is going to set off your asthma, you should stay home, preferably in a plastic bubble.

I used to have asthma when I was younger and smoke used to set it off so I'd have to use my inhaler.

By that logic, if you don't want to trip you shouldn't walk
Guest has NO idea how asthma works, do they ?

(Other guest)
I actually like the smell of cigarettes... They remind me of my grandmother, who smoked...

r u freakin' kidding me i got asthma coz my dad smokes and i was always aroung him u make me sick and i think that mybe u should smoke and get off of funsubstance
