So they are introducing warnings such as "Smoking Will Make You Ugly", "Smoking Will Harm Your Erection", that target young people's ideals of sexual attractiveness, as reported here (www.news.com.au).

To the old guy that gets upset with posts about smoking all the time, this was not intended for you.

Old, ugly, drinker, smoker. ..................m

In my experience it takes a long time to learn anything. My wish for kids is that maybe they can learn from other's mistakes. Don't have to be suckers for the drugs in all their many forms ( tobacco, alcohol, coke, cocaine, reality Tv, ) but maybe start afresh, and to my delight many of them do...................m

369415 2005-07-04 21:58:00 "Smoking Will Make You Ugly" Just as well I gave up while I was still good looking then huh :p

Even as a former smoker I don't mind the smell of it occassionally (my partner smokes), however I don't like it in my face for too long

369416 2005-07-04 22:34:00 Why do non smokers persist in slandering smokers with their scare tactics?
Are they trying to convince us , or perhaps themselves?
Over the last 60 years I have smoked half a million cigarettes and I'm still as healthy as most non-smokers my age.
