Nice try, but I don't think all the studies, evidence and facts in the world will convince people that the propaganda they've been fed all these years is simply not true. They WANT to believe it.

Very similar to global warming. To me, anyone who buys into that crap is an idiot and not worth debating.

"Resource devoted to debunking anti-smoker propaganda"

So a study can only be valid if funded by certain persons or groups?

Could you provide a list of those that only fund valid studies?

i never said that, i questioned the funding of a site dedicated to "debunking anti smoker propaganda"


but yes, i would question a study funded by a tobacco company that found cigs do not cause cancer.

as soon as you can provide one scientist who says that second hand smoke is good for you i will....
You must see the error of your ways since you are now looking for evidence that secondhand smoke is "good for you."

Before you said it was bad, now it's just not good. Keep reading, and we'll have you happily smoking by the end of the day.

Did you bother to read any of the studies listed on the site I posted or are you content to let others tell you what to think on the subject?

i looked at the site and was unimpressed....

So, admittedly, you choose not to evaluate the studies yourself and find the truth but will just sit back and let others tell you what is or isn't true. And you call others retarded. :sheesh:

...that word again. I find it offensive and it gives me sniffles plus now I have to wash my hair. All in favor of Tommy not being able to say 'retarded' in public?

I dont need anyone to tell me that breathing in smoke for hours at a time isn't good for me, logic tells me that.
just cuz you cant see the forest through your addiction doesn't mean it aint there.

Who breathes it in for hours at a time? A cigarette lasts me about 5 minutes and is usually followed by an hour or so before I fire up another one. And the concentration level upon anyone in close proximity is even less for them than me. After about 40 years of smoking along the lines I indicated above, why am I not dead? After all, doesn't smoking cause cancer?

The doctor that completed my physical two weeks ago. He even questioned the fact that I told him I smoked almost a pack a day. He said my lung capacity was above normal for a man my age.

And Larry, sorry I can't prove it until a Federal study is conducted and we are told what they find the answer to be.

...this is important. We'll wait.


Smoke 'em if you got 'em.


Is that hate speech nowadays?
