Smoking

I do not like smokers, i personally don't smoke and i am therefore very intolerant of it. Since the ban for smokers on the 1St of july 07 i have began to attend much more pubs as i don't have to fear the risk of passive smoking anymore. When people smoke on the street however i do not like the fact that i am in turn passive smoking. I personally don't smoke as i know the risks involved, and what the worst case scenario would be if i were ever to be a chain smoker. I don't believe in putting my body at risk of cancer, as it would be self-inflicted and therefore entirely my own fault.
However, i do not think that smokers should be deprived of organ transplants simply because their cancer is self-inflicted. But you could say that an organ transplanter who continues to smoke is not worthy of anymore treatment? What would you say?

Like all bad habits they start from stress, peer pressure, boredom, and 'experimenting'. The information about smoke and what it contains is available to everyone, and even taught in some schools. Therefore for people to try smoking is absolutely ridiculous as they know the health risks involved and the potential problem of getting addicted to the nicotine.

In today's society it is very common to see pregnant women smoking away as though they aren't carrying a child. The table's soon turn as soon as the child is born with a defiency as everyone but themselves are to blame. I am intolerant of such smokers as it's just immaturity.


Smoking can be described as being similar to 'suicide', obviously noone tries to smoke themself to death, but their habit/bad behavior is consequently destroying their body, and also those around them who have to passive smoke.
"People that breath secondhand smoke are at risk of the same diseases as smokers, including cancer and heart disease, because secondhand smoke contains 4,000 toxic chemicals. It is estimated that secondhand smoke causes thousands of deaths each year."


Nowadays there is so much help for those who want to quit, so they should accept the help and stop 'hurting' their body. A website which offers help and also informs smokers of the risks, is http://gosmokefree.nhs.uk/why-go-smokefree/
