Answers: i dont smoke and never will, i was just thinking that if you can die from it, then isnt it a form of suicide since your doing it to yourself?

ive never looked at it like that..more fuel for my fire against my mom, dont get me wrong, she is mom, so of course i love her but he smoking has caused me some med problems, and in turn has ruiended the way i look at myself...i think thats why i love my tats and piercing SO MUCH!!! then can't do long term damage that smoking can, and yes it is a form of suicide, that pollutes the earth, and screws the non smokers, and heath consoius pple over...what a wonderful world. NOT!!!! but that is me, and im against pretty much anything tht i feel or see as harmful...
no offence to anyone!!!!

I guess you could think of it that way....I really need to quit lol

and people like you are the reason we are all killing ourselves slowly

look how old george Burns lived to, dumbass

I guess if you look at it in a certain way, it's like a slow form of suicide I guess

Not anymore than not eating well, or not exercising enough isn't a form of suicide.

That's very deep, are you a reformed smoker?

Yes and no.

It causes horrific diseases, which will eventually kill you.

But, the act of smoking a cigarette does not make you drop dead.

You can die from eating unhealthy but people don't consider that suicide. People eat McDonald's and Burger King everyday. Is that suicide also?

Alternative name: Slow motion Suicide.

Yeah, I guess it is considered suicide since most smokers know that the most likely result of the habit is death.

i think that it is kind of a way of suicide because it will kill you and everyone knows that it will kill you

So is Drinking alcohol. Eating for most americans with the rate of heart trouble.

Yes i guess it is.....but then you have to think that breathing is a form of suicide.....don't get me wrong, I am not a smoker and completely against it. however, we're all gonna die.

so is drinking a lot of alcohol or eating large amounts of food or over medicating yourself...there's many ways to kill yourself, not just smoking.

Truthfully it is but back in the day they didnt know it could kill you but know they do so it could be suicide but smoking is just a cause and could possibly be not the main reason for the death
it could be a multiple of things.

Sure, if you want to think on the extreme side. I don't smoke either, but if you want to look at it that way, other things that can kill you could be looked at as a form of suicide, such as driving, running, breathing, eating, drinking, or riding a bike.

so is living in a city with smog in it when you have the power to relocate. or eating greasy, fried foods...touche, no?

in a sense yes.
but people dont call it suicide becuase suicide, is when you end your life. Smoking is harming your body by putting bad toxins in it, but smoking wont kill you right off the bat, it takes years and years, by the time your going to die, you probably wouldnt be able to smoke any more becuase you are in a bad state. So i guess, it wouldnt be considered suicide.

not really. If everyone look at it your way, driving a car is also suicide since it pollutes the air. Or you are risking getting involve in an accident.

eating some fast food is all suicide because it's building up your cholestlol (spelling) level.

You can name many similar things..

Oh I don't know....I smoked for 63 years without ever quitting, until 2 years ago. I gave it up, since it just wouldn't kill me. I'll just have to think of something else...Hey! Maybe I could start drinking and driving drunk....maybe that would do it!

Slow motion suicide really.

No, it's a drug because it's mind-altering, not suicide. Just addictive. It's like saying that working at a construction site is emo. You could get hurt, but you need the money and like being outside. Btw, good job not smoking.

Suicide is getting in the face of a smoker who's finished a 16 hour shift and now has to go home to a cold meal and an angry wife.

yes, but think about other things. we can die of everything.
food (we could choke)
water (we could drown)
cooking (you could blow yourself up)
driving (you could kill you or someone else)
and all of these you are doing yourse so think about it. just because us smokers choose to smoke...maybe its because we have our own way of dealing with stress.

they reckon over 4,000 different chemicals go inside your body with every *** u have! i should know it buggers me!!!!!!!!!

Not suicide, just slow death.

Same with almost everything. By that reasoning, no-body would:

Drive a car

Fly in a plane

Join the fire service

Cross the road

Eat chargrilled food (lots of carcinogens)

Stand near a window in a strong wind

Walk up or down stairs

Etc.

Smoking may well kill people, but it's a choice that people make. Just like anything that anyone does, it has a certain risk factor. Smoking has a higher risk factor than many things that people do, but it's not a deliberate act of suicide. People smoke because they want to, not because they want to die.

Get on the freeway, have a beer, walk across the street, inhale smog... this is a dangerous world. You can kill yourself many ways, and no I dont smoke.

Life is a form of suicide, its just that it takes longer.

And what if it is a form of suicide? What business is that of yours??

So what if you don't smoke - good for you - more for me!

Do you 100% of the time use a condom when you have intercourse? That's a form of suicide (AIDS/HIV).

Do you 100% of the time wear a seatbelt while driving/riding in an automobile? That's a form of suicide.

Do you eat a lot of processed foods? Cancer is linked to those kinds of foods; ingesting them is a form of suicide.

Let people live their lives how they choose to live them. It's up to them! You live your life as you choose to; it's up to you!
