Dumb. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

First of all, banning any substance that's designed for consumption is more than moronic, it's unethical. If someone wants to put menthol smoke into their lungs, the government has no fucking say in that.

Fuck the EU.

But class

Think of the children who can be attracted to smoking with flavors.

I just want to know why it's okay for old men in Washington to think of the children but then when I do it it's pedophilia.

Exactly. It doesn't matter what's bad for you. I should be able to package, sell, and consume fucking bleach cigarettes if I want to. As long as the people buying them know that they're bleach cigarettes.

the fuck are you buying 10s for anyway? you buy regular or long?

not to mention, anybody who doesn't want to increase their intake isn't suddenly just going to stop buying cigarettes because 10s aren't available. they'll just smoke the 20s over a longer period of time

fucking eu man, i tell ya

criminalizing tobacco only makes it available to criminals

same goes for any drugs guns or weapons

regular.

i buy 10s because i tend to chain smoke through packs so when im finished i'll stop smoking for a while until i get another. if i've got packs of 20 then im mostly likely going to smoking more in a shorter period of time

You can bitterly tell smokers what they already know all you want - that doesn't change the fact that it's criminal to dictate what someone can and can't do to their own body.

What does that have to do with the EU directive here?

I don't care that you're not paying for an unhealthy product, so surely you must not care that I am unless I go around blowing smoke over people's faces? Unless, of course, you're that petty and spiteful.

I just think it's odd that someone smart like you does something stupid like smoke.

I'm not going to smack the cigarette out of your hands.

Good, it's time we stop giving ourselves cancer. While I understand the whole "it's my body so I can do whatever I want," you have to think of your family. Your family doesn't want to lose you any sooner than they have to.

I know a guy who was hit by a car.

For the love of God, ban cars. No, don't be stupid. Families are horizontal, co-operative units. If my family wants to coerce me into doing something I don't want to do unless it's immediately life threatening, they can go fuck themselves.

Also consider the millions upon millions of cigarette butts that get washed out to the ocean because people toss them out their car windows or while they're walking down the street.

..but smoking IS life threatening.

At least cars serve a useful purpose. Cigarettes do not.

>Implying that the guy willingly got hit by the car

Sounds like you don't love your family. Okay then.
