Because I was about to ask this girl out and then she pull out a pack of cigarettes and lights up.

WTF?

The tobacco industry is marketing to kids and college students, that is so ethically wrong and disgusting.

So, what is Ralph Nader's phone number? He fixed seat belts, so he should be able to fix this problem. Consumer rights activists work for free, right?

Nicotine is an addictive substance, and in cigarettes it is paired with tar and many poisons including arsenic (which is part of why it turns your teeth yellow and makes your nails ugly).
 
I got lost after you wrote that you engaged in human-to-human conversation with a girl.

Or type she type all this out. "cutechikz69> *lights up a cig*"

Correction: "cutechikz69> *lites up a cig*" :)
 
I quit cigs. several years ago, using one of those 39.99 hyp-mo-tists that travel around to 2nd tier hotels (Ramada Inn, anyone?). Worked like a charm, and now when I see a hot girl lighting up, I get sad...because it will never be...

Having said that, I will defend anyone's right to put whatever they want into their body. Unless you just fell to Earth in the last 5 minutes, I think everyone is aware of the dangers of smoking (cigarettes), and if you choose to do that, well, that's your problem. The cost to society, blah blah blah...I don't really care, it's about personal rights and responsibilities.
 
I wasn't rude or anything though, I just changed the subject REALLY fast and started talking about todays homework.

Her freind kept smiling at me in class today though. She's kind of cute, and I am pretty sure she doesn't suck down poison and tar all day.
 
We all know you're a fucking prude; get over your pretentious ass and try to score some tail without writing a personal check for once.

Then again, you *did* make it to eagle scout.

Quack has always seemed like an 'IOU' man to me. :whistle2:s
 
Heh, I forgot where I was.

You don't say that cigarettes are bad on a forum where most of the poeple are adults who spend most of their time playing video games and have no intention of excelling in any field, and where marriage and children would be viewed as an inconvenience.

Wow, I just read that and realized that I AM a prude. Dang.
 
I have a right not to pay for your damn medical bills. That is MY right and by smoking you are taking that away from me. Also, what about second hand smoke? Responsibility? LOL! Yeah, that is a great attitude. If a 13 year old decides to smoke than that is fine. If his/her parents work 60 hrs a week or are just bad parents well that is their problem, not mine. Just screw em all, right?

i hear u quack...personally, i get REALLY turned off by girl who smokes, that sthe biggest deal breaker on this end, it especially got 2 me cus my mom got over breast cancer recently (yay all better), and i wudnt wanna bring anything that can cause cancer again near her (or track it on my clothes or watever...plus im just paranoid at times)
 
Everyone knows cigarettes are bad for you and will kill you eventually. Why anyone ever starts I'll never know. That said, this is a free country and if people want to smoke, let them smoke - just don't do it near me. What people do in their own time is of no concern but when it starts to affect other people then some regulation is in order. The best law ever is the "no smoking indoors" laws that are sweeping the country. I don't think cigarette makers market to kids necessarily although typically lifetime customers are hooked at a young age when they still think it's "cool" or whatever dumbass reason they first decide to light up so who knows.
 
caffeine is an addictive drug that increases blood pressure and heart rate. When do we ban that one ?

Come to think of it, halloween and Easter center around the candy industry. Talk about marketing, kids are the target while increasing the rate of obesity and diabetes. Is candy/refined sugar/corn syrup next on the Quack ban list or do you like banging fat chicks who take insulin?

Maybe we should just ban fat chicks altogether!
 
I dont give a shit if you smoke cigs unless you are around me. If you smoke near me, you are hurting me aswell so GTFO, also if you smell like smoke, please burry urself underneath a rock.
 
Smoking is addictive, and imho, stupid.
Anyone's who over, say, 6, and doesn't know at least that it's 'bad for you' is a dumbass.
That said, if an adult wants to smoke, as long as they don't do it around me or my family [yes, family, wife and child!], whatever.

The argument about increased health costs is a valid one; however, smokers in general live shorter lives than non smokers, so that could have an effect on the long-term healthcosts.
And like someone else said, what about candy, fast food, sedentary life styles made more attractive by computers and video games, etc. Obesity actually is more 'dangerous' a life style than smoking is, and lots of factors affect that. So the medical bill argument is definitely a slippery slope, and the only way to truly counter it would be turn in to a liberal fascist state, where the state knows 'whats good for you'. That's not a direction I want to go.

I like restaurants that are non-smoking, and do not mind state or city laws about such [I think GA has such a law, I was surprised when they didn't ask me 'smoking or non' last time I was down there]. I don't think it's necessarily within the purview of the federal government. However, if smoking should be illegal, then *do it*. Don't increase taxes [and thus profit] while still staying 'smoking is bad for you.'
 
This really belongs in Vs. While the OP post is about trying to score with a chick who smokes it's also a hidden diatribe about the tired topic that is the tobacco industry. Seriously, if you don't see yourself marrying this girl, who cares whether she smokes or not? Get off the 'holier-than-thou' kick and tag some pussy.:roll:

Yes. Especially if they're concerned about 'dark-sidedness'. :lol:
 
Well, I would care if a girl I dated smoked, regardless of the 'moral standing' of smoking.
I think smoking makes your clothes and body and breath stink, and I wouldn't want to be in a car or a movie theatre or somewhere with that, much less kissing them. The smell of Camels is not a romantic or sexy smell to me.

I agree normally but if she's hot enough you should always make an exception.
 
What are the cheapest dates that don't make you look cheap?

I was thinking like a bike trip, or possibly a matinee movie. McDonalds and Subway don't count as romantic dinners, do they?
 
[quote name='Quackzilla']What are the cheapest dates that don't make you look cheap?[/QUOTE]

A real woman can smell cheapness a mile away. There's no right answer to this question.
 
Only fatties and uggos smoke around here. Smoking is considered cool for guys for some reason though. When I do see an attractive girl light up I rip the cig out of her mouth and jab her in the eye with it.

Anywho take her to a food place that is cheap that she has never heard of.

If she's only interested in your money, you don't want her. Later when you're married, she'll spend it all.


My best dates were the girls where, I can take her to a local diner & just enjoy talking to each other. Sure sometimes I'd splurge on a Broadway musical or some such, but most of the time it was just time together, over dinner, that cemented the relationship.



Also, it's the *quantity* that matters, not the quality. Give her a $10,000 diamond and she counts it as "one gift". Give her a rose, a free pair of shoes, a dress over the course of 3 weeks... and even though you spent less than $100, she counts it as "three".

Cheap dates are easy. Just put a bunch of things together that you know the girl likes but don't cost money. Pile one on top of the other so if she doesnt' like part of it she isn't stuck. About the time the thought "he's so sweet to have remembered I like bike-riding" wears off, you move on to the next "he's so sweet for remembering Twix is my favorite candy bar".

As for smokers, I think the habit is disgusting and I wish people weren't killing themselves doing it. However, I have a hard time with legislating against people's stupidity. It's an old argument, but I am yet to hear somebody with a sound argument against it - if you're going to legislate against cigarettes, why not legislate against alcolol? Or donuts? Or fast food? These all have negative health effects just like Cigs, and can be just as addictive.
 
Next up:

I am going to sue the alcohol industry. Tons of alcoholics running around the bars, streets and my family it must be stopped. Alcohol kills and ruins peoples lives. Who thinks companies producing alcoholic beverages should be allowed to advertise... wait they can but they just can not show the beverage being consumed on TV!

GO QUACKY!
 
...Damn this thread makes me want to have a cig. I smoke maybe once a month, at most...but damn if all the anti-smoking commercials make me want to have one everytime i hear one.
 
People have pointed out nicotine and caffeine but I'm amazed that nobody has mentioned the other evil addictive substance that shortens our lives and increases our medical expenses - alcohol. If you're going to ban nicotine and caffeine, you really should ban alcohol too. Not only does it lead to drunk driving and destroy your liver - it also gives you beer goggles so you sleep with fat chicks.

They market to adults, not kids (which is illegal), and adults are wise enough to run their own lives. AND i say, "Let me have my pleasures." It's my body, and I can do what I want with it, so fuck off

I don't see why they can't market cigs to college students. They are adults and they should know the risks.
 
[quote name='chosen1s']why not legislate against alcolol? Or donuts? Or fast food? These all have negative health effects just like Cigs, and can be just as addictive.[/QUOTE]

Well, I think one reason is because alcohol, donuts, and fast food at least have something positive going for them. One beer a day has been found to help keep your heart healthy, and donuts and fast food may not be good for you, but at least they are doing something for you. (Feeding you) I think the real reason cigs could be targeted is that there is no positive from using them...
 
[quote name='greydemise']DOWN WITH FATTIES!!![/QUOTE]

As long as its not DOWN ON FATTIES!!! :puke:

My biggest question is how does rocket fuel get into cigarettes? Rat poison? Cyanide? Niccotine?

Is it actually part of the tobacco or is it added by the company?

At what point did adding formaldehyde sound like a good idea?

How is it even legal to add shit like that? I'd like to see Nabisco do it. I wouldn't really mind smoking if it didn't have all that shit added to it. 100% natural pipe tobacco smells nice too.

If she smokes, she's easy. A little tip for ya.

Cheap dates? Bowling and ice cream, maybe? It's semi-creative.
 
I can see the court proceedings now.

No fucking shit, I asked her out to subway after class tonight (I got over that whole smoking thing). After we ate when we got in the car she pulled a box of condoms out of her purse!

Best night ever, and afterwards we went to a [free] comedy show at a local college lecture hall. ("One Arab, One Jew, One Stage" It was hilarious, I highly recommend seeing it if they come to your town)

I am done being a prude. From now on my life is going to be totally awesome!

You were bragging about getting laid, by a girl, a few weeks ago in the vs forum.

If you're going to lie to a bunch of nerds on a videogame forum, at least get your lies straight.
