An extension of the smoking ban to communal areas of residential blocks and other outdoor spaces in Singapore in 2013 may have prevented up to 20,000 heart attacks among those aged 65+, suggests research published in the open access journal BMJ Global Health.
Absolutely! I see every day the awfully sick people in our hospital, one side lung left but still smoking 2 packs a day, practically living outside. In certain circumstances it should considered as involuntarily suicide. Plus: they annoy other people as fuck. Disgusting habit.
Fucking rude honestly. I've smoked on and off for a lot of my life, having quit again now for 4 years. I've seen both sides but I really abhor the old 'it's a disgusting habit'. I can understand how it is, the smell, the yellowing of your teeth and fingers etc but just what's the point? Putting addicts down on your high horse?
You should just be pleased you didn't make a poor choice growing up and live your life. Let them kill themselves if they choose to never kick the habit. I firmly believe it's a human right, you can't force people into a style of accepted living. People really just want the world to be exactly how they perceive it should be and have zero tolerance for anything they don't like.
It's just more people discriminating against others for bullshit reasons.
They have to keep alternatives reasonable available, like vaping. But no, they make it so expensive that many people went back to smoking tobacco instead of going the other way and downdose on nicotine & understand that they simply don't need either.
I've been using the nicotine pouches and there's only addiction warning labels on them. But the whole time I'm thinking, I'm pretty certain nicotine isn't good for the heart..
recall drama when they banned smoking in elevators. should be banned in public spaces. smoked when younger. now it just stinks. even outdoors. read big tobacco is diversifying into foods that are addictive.
