I wish I could Chew so I could look like that.
Now, aside from that, if you don't know my opinions on tobacco, here they are.
I am highly against all recreational drugs from chewing, smoking, pot, X, crack, the whole nine yards.
But, seeing as this thread is only about Smoking and Chewing, I'll focus on these.
If you are in your home, or in a remote location where your cigarette second hand smoke has no measurable effect, then smoke your brains out, I could care less. But I feel strongly that smoking should be banned in
all public areas. This goes for streets, bus stops, parks, etc. If a privately owned bar wants to allow smoking, then whatever, let them. If they are not private, but rather public (this means you can buy their stock) then smoking should be banned there as well.
It's not right to make others suffer the consequences of your bad habbit. I don't care if your addicted to smoking, your weak and until you quit, get the fuck out of my sight. (Yes, I meant what I said).
Chewing... ehh, there are no second hand effects other than personal ones, so I don't have a problem with it. As long as your spit ends up in a trash can, do it for all I care.
Cost of the tobacco is of no concern to me, and in my opinion, it should be 3 or 4 times the current price. More tax dollars for our wonderful government. It would also promote less people to smoke, namely because they could not afford it.
But yeah, that's my opinion. If you want to ruin your teeth, generate terrible hygene for yourself, and waste all your money on cancer causing agents, then do it.
Just don't do it in
any public place.
