I find few things more enjoyable than a good book, an imported cigar, and a cup of hot tea. Most know that cigar will likely kill me someday, but I enjoy it nonetheless. That being said, the floor is open to anyone to share their thoughts on government regulations on behavior, be they incentives or penalties.

Despite all the anti tobbaco stuff out there, it's not very likely to kill you in the end. Carcrash, heart attack, stroke, etc, are all able to kill you too.

but I enjoy it nonetheless


I never understood how anyone could enjoy inhaling smoke. I can't even stand second hand, it's horrible.

One does not inhale on a cigar and it try to smoke outside or in a well ventilated room when I am indoors.

In Ohio, we recently passed a no smoking in public law. I love it as I cannot breathe in second hand smoke, and it is frankly disgusting.

I've heard a lot that it cuts years away from your life.

but I enjoy it nonetheless


Yeah smoke sounds nasty. I don't understand, is there some sort of flavor you get?

And not to mention, it's wasting your money. Is it really worth it?

And lastly, yeah, If smoking just killed one person and that one only, It would be a lot like a weak Alcohol where the person that does it can face some consequences -- the issue is is that it's not, and second hand smoke is not only unhealthy but it's nasty, I hate being around that crap.

Indeed. I don't understand how people get hooked into it in the first place - peer pressure? Pain in the @ss if you ask me <3

Not always, but often

it's wasting your money. Is it really worth it?

Shall I do a comparison?

Smoking

VS

Age of Empires 2!

Smoking pro's:
Makes you look cool to some folk
Is something you can directly interact with
Can be used as a weapon

Smoking con's:
Constant drain on money
Is dangerous for your health
Mental drawbacks from quitting

Age of Empires 2:
Pro's:
Does not require huge amounts of computer power
Does not require a "subscription"
Is very entertaining
Is exceptionally historically accurate and has a library made for learning about it

Con's:
Chances are if you're new the person you go up against in Multiplayer would... quite easily, woop your butt
May be hard finding friends (not that it matters)
Graphics are pretty terrible - but not in that they're hard to look at (not for me, anyway )

The con's compared to smoking? I think it shows pretty badly - smoking with friends makes little difference, whereas playing with friends makes all the difference. That, and graphics > watching smoke swathe around your cranium as you inhale it.

And the first con of Age - if someone beats you at smoking, you beat them at living... probably.

Oh - and Age of Empires isn't unhealthy if taken in moderation which hopefully it would be.
