Smoke breaks....
I am happy about higer and higer taxes on ciggarettes. And I hope one day they will be $25 a pack of smokes.
Don't think you are invincible to cancer it will get you.
Case in point:
My Grandfather stopped smoking 30 yrs before he died from cancer related to smoking.
For that I love those hot red glowing tips of death.
Smoke on.
But really if you know that it will lead to your death why not save up to buy a really nice gun. Put the money you spend on cigarettes and when you are like 60 yrs old just blow your brains out with the 24k Gold Gun you were able to afford.
Here's my point, stop being a hippy and calling every person who smokes "someone with a low IQ". There are millions of causes of cancer, and just because this one calms and relaxes someone doesn't mean you can tak...

To quote South Park, "And if I happen to get cancer when I'm 80, I don't care, who the hell wants to be 90 anyway?"
My one grandmother died when she was 67 and went through hell for a whole year before dying.
My other grandmother was on oxygen for 14 yrs before finally dying at the age of 64.
My grandfather died at the age of 72 after battling cancer for over 2 yrs.
The point is not a single of them died peacefully in their sleep.
If someone could give one reason backed up with facts that prove that smokes do a single good thing for you I would love to hear it.

Hint:
Around 5.4 million deaths a year are caused by tobacco.
Here are some fun smoking facts:
* Smoking is set to kill 6.5 million people in 2015 and 8.3 million humans in 2030, with the biggest rise in low-and middle-income countries.
* Every 6.5 seconds a current or former smoker dies, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
* An estimated 1.3 billion people are smokers worldwide (WHO).
Over 443,000 Americans (over 18 percent of all deaths) die because of smoking each year. Secondhand smoke kills about 50,000 of them.
1.2 million people in China die because of smoking each year. That's 2,000 people a day.
Tobacco use wil...

I would re-elect Obama tomorrow for another 10 yrs if he would raise the tax on cigarettes to $10 a pack.
Think about all the people on welfare that smoke continiously. We would get that welfare money back if the taxes were $10 a pack đ¤¤
2. Presidents can only serve 4 years at a time.
3. What vendetta do you really have against people who smoke?
1.) They are given extra "smoke" breaks than non-smokers
2.) They litter and don't think twice about it with their butts
3.) They are the worst smelling co-workers
4.) They are killing other people around them with second hand smoke
5.) They are providing money (by buying smokes) to the big tabacco companies to continue their ads to attract more smokers
6.) They cost their loved ones thousands of dollars who want to save them as they go through treatment for cancer
My list could go on....
2.) Cigarettes are biodegrateable, they cause a lot less pollution than the car you drive.
3.) Usually someone smells because they don't shower. I could think of many smells that are worse than someone who just had a cigarette.
4.) You start dying the day you're born, get over it.
5.) Big tobacco companies? They've done nothing to you. They are in a business just like every other company. The only real ads are on bilboards since the FCC regulated T.V. and radio commercials advertising tobacco.

2.) Cigarettes are biodegrateable but so are paper bags, a half eatten hamburger, and apple cores, why use trash cans anymore just throw away plastics.
3.) Since you are most likely a smoker you probably can't smell just how bad you smell. Believe me you can tell when someone came in from smoking.
4.) It's true you start dying the day you are born but why speed up the process or make your final days terrible?
5.) Big Tobacco has done something to me they continued to make their products that they know have been killing people for years, and because of that my weak willed realitives have killed themselves with their...

1.) Believe me my manager only gives smokers an extra break or two because they would rip his skin off if he didn't
Your manager sucks, or is a smoker himself. I'm a non-smoking manager, and I don't give my smokers any extra breaks.
2.) Cigarettes are biodegrateable but so are paper bags, a half eatten hamburger, and apple cores, why use trash cans anymore just throw away plastics.
I'll give you that one, I hate looking at cigarette butts on the ground. This is why I'm fond of making the smokers PICK UP THE BUTTS I see on the ground when I witness someone toss a butt on the ground.

My manager is young and wants to be liked by all, but in honesty he isn't the first manager I have had that does this so I think when a good portion of your work force smokes you have to give them extra breaks so as you are not killed by them.

Sucky managers are still sucky, no matter how old they are đ
That's great you are doing your part to curb this habit but I am talking about the countless millions of them that drive and throw the butts out their windows.
Accepted.
I will agree with you on this one but in all honesty cigarette smoke mixed with Axe body spray is pretty fowl smelling.
At the very least, they are making an effort.< >

I think we should start a petition about this whole dying thing. I think we should get people to stop dying!! WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?? DONT YOU WANT TO LIVE??!!!
My point is, you are talking as though dying is something that is preventable. Everyone does it, it just depends on how you live. And if you live with hate through other people's enjoyment, well, you'll die alone.

I think its annoying that just because a large group of my fellow co-workers are idiots and continue to flush their money down the toliet to hurt themselves they get extra breaks when they "need to".
I think it's annoying that you believe you should be the sole arbitrer of break dispensing and how people handle their own lives.

And I hope you're on shift all day with a bunch of smokers on the day they can't afford to smoke anymore.

i go out there on my break when there is no one else out there, and before i know it, a herd of smokers come out, firing up their smokes and filling the whole area with the smell of smoke.
what is the point of even having a side for non smokers? đĄ
ooo sorry cant i dont have any more on me
If I, as a non-smoker, went to stand outside for 5-10 minutes at a time for no reason, it wouldn't be tolerated. Furthermore, I believe smokers should not receive equal compensation given how much less productivity they provide.
