nope. I think just about every smoker in 1st world countries since about 1980 have known the dangers of smoking, and despite how many times you repeat them, said smokers probably won't quit. Sadly, it usually takes something major to make a smoker quit, like lung cancer or death of a friend/family member due to cancer(not always, but a lot of the time).

That won't make me quit, but I wish something would.

One thing that pisses me off (no offense non-smokers) are the people who freak out over the single hint of smoke in a room or nearby. They are usually pricks about it and always have to make a comment out loud to show how smart they are for hating smoke. I swear, the way they react you would think they just were struck with lung cancer! Just a couple weeks ago, when I went to Atlantic City, NJ to gamble. New Jersey started a new law which now makes 75% of the entire casino floor non smoking. Smoking sections were so small they were almost non-existant. You would not believe how many comments were made out loud about how it smells like smoke in here, or people are stupid, etc etc. You people bitched until you got the casinos (THE f***ING CASINOS!!!) to give in to your demands, and tell smokers "I don't care about your money, go play in the corners" and yet you still complain! I've been going to and gambling in AC for years, back in the good old days when 100% of the floor was smoking. NEVER, NEVER EVER heard a complaint before! You took them out of restaurants, you took them out of bars, you took them out of hotel rooms, you even took them out of casinos (!!!), but you will never take them out of my hands. And if I smell like smoke? Good! FTW! p.s. Don't get me started on this second hand smoke bullshit. I'll be here all night.

DeanNJN, well said. I don´t know why, but its like, a few years ago all of a sudden, non-smokers became aware of their own mortality or something. cause I`ve never heard so much bitching about smoking and smokers as I have the last 3-4 years.
and i think it`s ironic that people are all for equality and not discrimination and stuff, but if it`s about smokers, then it`s ok to discriminate.

Not in the least. I can tell you that as a person who was hooked on tobacco for over 15 years, my impetus to quit was ... well, I just decided one day to quit cold turkey. The first 3 days were the toughest, but I got over it.
My personal demon was chewing tobacco, and they say that's harder to quit than smoking.

Nothing will probably make me quit smoking, because I like it. That's the long and short of it. Yay for personal choice. As for the non-smokers, they can mock me all they want because odds are they'll die around the same time I will anyway. Perhaps we'll die around the same time but at least I won't have, yellow skin, yellow teeth, an awful body odour, bad breath, brown fingers, black lungs etc etc You'll certainly be the cuter corpse when you're dead.....however, such as it is you're dead, you won't be able to take advantage.

Another thing, I don't know if this has been addressed or not in this thread, mainly because I can't be bothered to read four whole pages of it, this freakin' commercial with the guy buying bullets. I want to BITE the FACE of everyone involved. If you haven't seen it, and also actually give a damn about anything I'm saying, the guy goes into a gun shop and asks if they have any light bullets. Bullets that are less harmful than regular bullets. Then, he's like "WELL OMG DID YOU KNOW THAT CIGARETTES ARE DESCRIBED AS LIGHT OR ULTRA-LIGHT TO TRICK THE STUPID DUMB IDIOT SMOKERS INTO THINKING THEY'RE HEALTHIER?!" When, in reality, anyone who can readcan tell you that those phrases describe the FLAVOR OF THE CIGARETTES and nothing else. What are regular cigarettes called? "Full FLAVOR." Not "full tar" or "full nicotine" or "full cancer." In fact, there's a damn booklet in packs of Marlboros that says just that. I've never heard anyone say "I smoke lights so I'm going to get less cancer." I want to punch that guy in his big, stupid glasses and shave off is dumb afro. In Canada, they wanna ban the word "light" on cigarette packaging. Except in Newfoundland, because there the words "light" are the instructions. Pick your own least favorite place and have fun with the joke.
