I smoke every day, yes i joke about it, but smoking has nothing to do with the deaths of your loved ones. Lung cancer must run in your family genetically.

It’s an addiction just like an addiction to crack, meth, alcohol whatever. In fact, if you ask an addict, they will tell you smoking is the hardest to quit. I’m a smoker myself. Do I crack cancer jokes? Certainly not. But I’m tired of people telling me, “Why don’t you just quit?” Because it isn’t as easy as one may think. No one says a word about alcohol/alcoholism yet it’s an addiction as well as a disease. My grandfather and an uncle were killed by drunk drivers. And why do we start anything that’s bad for us? Out of curiosity. Simple as that.

I think on the whole, most smokers aren’t aware that they’re doing it. As an ex-smoker, I’ll say that’s probably why.

Smoking really needs to be taken care of like any other addiction, like drug addiction or alcoholism. Perhaps someday.

Excellent FOAD. I think people are just basically thoughtless. Making a remark like that just means that they aren’t aware that someone is sensitive to the subject. They probably have not been impacted directly by cancer. But I have to admit that every time my sister (who always said I’m NEVER going to smoke) lights one up I remind her it’s 7 minutes off her life.

BTW. I hated Technorati too until I deleted my blog then re-claimed it. It actually worked the second time around. And I am a BM fan, I just don’t like their “games.” :) I’m hard to please . :) Welcome to the FOAD club!

The thing I don’t understand is that why people would start smoking in the first place because it causes so much problems. Forget cancer, with cigarettes, there are numerous ways you can die. Cigarettes have been known to cause birth defects, cancer and they are one of the majour causes of house fires. It’s not funny to joke about these things, true, but it is a good idea to make people aware of the dangers of smoking.
