397206	2005-10-20 05:45:00	How about this? Do you agree that college students (under 18) should be let off for smoking? I have a couple of friends who smoke illegally and without the consent of their parents. They had been caught many times for smoking and were warned off with just a detention and a letter back home (which they had managed to intercept it). Friends told me that the drug-sniffing dog was useless in detecting cigarette. :eek:	Renmoo (66)

Caffiene is about all that gets me through the day....and it does not affect the people around me. 109Mg in a bottle of e2....please don't ban it! I can't explain how my Grandmother on my Mothers' side died at the age of 97 whilst smoking 4 packets of ciggys a day. These were packets of 20. Personally I smoke a packet of 25 per day. If I go to another persons place I will not smoke inside unless they do. My Father died at the age of 74 having smoked most of his life. His Wife (my Mother) died at the age of 84. My mother never smoked. My Wife is still here and used to smoke. She is 5 years older than I. Yes Godfather. I use Coffee but not Tea. My Wife mostly uses Tea. I smoke in the lounge and in our computer room but not in the bedroom.	Elephant (599)

Drivers licence at 20. I probably agree with this, but it's getting a bit close to telling others what they can and can't do.	JJJJJ (528)
397211	2005-10-20 18:21:00	At the risk of needing an asbestos flame suit, I agree with Eric As some on this forum already know, I have a malignant and highly agressive sinus cancer problem. Without doubt it is environmentally related according to the experts, and I have been subject to a lot of second hand smoke but have never smoked. The link will probably never be proven (it is presently under a nationwide study though), but I cannot now tolerate any cigarette smoke (probably due to the damage from radical radiation), even passing the groups of smokers on the footpath is unpleasant and causes extreme discomfort. Oddly enough smoke from a fire is less of a problem, which means its the chemicals in the tobacco I suppose. I would defend the right of a person to smoke however while it remains legal to do so, but not condone that person being permitted to expose anyone else to the effects in any environment. Even outside. I have just completed a further 6 week session for 2 hours every day in the hospital system. The car park was right outside the Maternity wing, and waiting in the car it was horrifying to see the number of pregnant women leaving the hospital building and immediately lighting up a cigarette. I don't mind them smoking either, but what about the future health of the child they carry? My father smoked all his life and died prematurely of arteriosclerosis, aggravated by years of smoking. My brother-in-law died of emphysema (sp?) that was directly related to a life of smoking. My sister died of a cancer that was also attributed to a life of smoking. These were not elderly people. Yet my mother, who was a "passive smoker most of her life" lived to an old age and never suffered any effects. And I know other elderly people that live(d) to an old age smoking all their life, so its a genetic predisposition I suspect. Its just that many of us obviously do not have that genetic protection. Caffiene is about all that gets me through the day....and it does not affect the people around me. 109Mg in a bottle of e2....please don't ban it! That's what I would call a objective exposition,one that I have grown to expect of the writer. Long may it last.	Cicero (40)

Drivers licence at 20 . The problem with getting serious about restrictions on driving based on safe driving age groups, is that it must get restricted to no-one being not allowed to drive if over 40 or under 50 as these groups aren't to be trusted to drive safely . And lets face it those under 50 or over 40 have been known to have accidents! There might be one or two small practical problems with such restrictions, but at least the roads would be safer . The same logic (?)applies in similar ways to other activities . I'll just about garantee that "Rob99" is outside of the age group that he feels can not be trusted such choices . i'd also suspect that all of you, no matter what age would get pissed off about not being allowed to do something because of age . I'll also note that age based restrictions do nothing to stop people from dabbling with drugs such as tabacco, if anything, they add to the cool/naughty factor . I started smoking tabacco in my early teens . I was told i wasn't allowed by people who were often themselves smoking . I wasn't to be denied, so i started smoking too! (D'oh) Had it have been illegal, i'm sure that would only have fueled my determination . I started smoking pot in my late teens . That was illegal . Did it stop me? Of course not! Indeed pot is probably our societys 2nd most used recreational drug . Its only just behind alcohol in frequency of use . The fact that it's illegal does nothing to stop it, it merely creates a massive black market economy ensuring it's supply . Illegality also makes it difficult to deal with in an open sensable manner . Those who feel that the solution to any problem is to ban it, need to look at how little that does to stop any activity where all parties are consenting . I ask you this: Did we have miniskirt wearing prostitutes waiting for business on our dodgier street corners before it was legal? Those who are horrified by prostitutions legality seem to ignore the fact that illegality did nothing to stop the worlds oldest bizo from happening openly on our streets anyway .	personthingy (1670)
