Personally, I agree on many points. Most teenagers start smoking around the age of 13-15. At that age movies are one of the biggest influences on their lives. They wanna be coold and hip.... When you see people smokin in movies, they always look cool, or tough making cigarettes look good. <br><br>Cigarettes should be banned on the streets, in all public places, and in any advertisement or movies. You wanna smoke, do it by yourself at home under the bathroom fan. <br><br>_________________________________________<br>http://www.geocities.com/djstefan/bush.gif<br>http://www.magicrecords.com.pl/img/swf/player1.html

And alcohol?<br><br>

I think we should ban sex... since most teenagers start having it around the age of 13-15. Plus, it has the added advantage of not bringing more stupid people into the world that might end up being President!!! <br><br>[color:green]When you eat a can of beans you can't be sure which one made you fart.</font color=green>

Alcohol is bad too, but not as addictive as cigarettes. I have went through an alcoholic period and I also smoked cigarettes. I don't think there is anything else on this planet more addictive than cigarettes! <br><br>My dad has cancer and tried quitting smokind many times since diagnosed. After about 30 years of smoking, it is impossible for him to quit. I did it but only after 6 years of smoking.<br><br>Cigarettes do not provide any type of pleasure, but still people spend a big fraction of their income on them and can't go without them for more than a few hours. <br><br>So why make them look cool?<br><br>_________________________________________<br>http://www.geocities.com/djstefan/bush.gif<br>http://www.magicrecords.com.pl/img/swf/player1.html

"Cigarettes do not provide any type of pleasure"<br><br>The hell they don't. They relieve anxiety and depression.<br><br>Plus, how many teens are killed by cigarettes? Now how many are killed by drugs/alcohol??<br><br>

Cigarettes relieve anxiety and depression for those hooked on them. The anxiety and depression are because of the addiction! <br><br>Every teen is killed by cigarettes. (Maybe not on the spot but in time slow and for sure.)<br>Alcohol and drugs do not kill that many kids. Maybe one out of 10 000 kids dies from alcohol or drugs, but 1 out of 5 teenages starts to smoke around the age of 14. Ony 1 out of 10 is able to quit later on. <br><br>_________________________________________<br>http://www.geocities.com/djstefan/bush.gif<br>http://www.magicrecords.com.pl/img/swf/player1.html

What is this.... "make up your own statistics hour??"<br><br>

Lol!! Not a bad idea...<br><br>

Nope, sorry. And you will have to try a lot harder to convince me that smoking is good in any manner! Find me one good reason for smoking and for every good reason I will find you a person that dies from cigarettes every 15 minutes.<br><br>_________________________________________<br>http://www.geocities.com/djstefan/bush.gif<br>http://www.magicrecords.com.pl/img/swf/player1.html
