"Ripe"?  Few who smoke all their lives are amongst those not affected, so I wouldn't bet my life to be amongst one of those few.  There is no answer as to why some do not appear to be affected, but over the years I have seen my share...who smoke, drink more than occassionally and eat all the wrong stuff every day of their lives....and live to be older than the hills...so to speak.  The luck of the draw I guess...strong genes, great outlook on life....they have been some of my "funner" patients, even when sick!  Go figure!

Its for your safety. There are a lot of sick people out there, and its basically like talking to a stranger.

They do have the cures.  Reason they aren't letting us have it is because then people would become well and then the medical industry would take a big hit on profits.  \n\nThere is more money in sick people, why make them better?

because people around you are sick.

Because the smokers lungs fill with tar and there isn't as much room for air. They also become less efficient at absorbing oxygen.

I think that many people are finally getting the message. Cigarettes are very expensive and it's very hard to smoke in most places. The restaurants and bars in my county have forbidden it. Cig. smoking costs everyone money because of the costs of the illnesses they cause. Ins. rates go up for everyone to cover it.

When we inject drugs into people, they are in solution.  It's tough to get chunks of medicine through needles, and they would just cause an emboulus anyway.

Absolutely not. Did you know that the pharmaceutical industry takes in more money than all other industries combined? They have a drug for every symptom a person could possibly have. Whatever happened to "sweating it out"? Maybe we'd be a healthier people if we didn't take so many pills. They want us to be scared of natural plants (marijuana: which is given to people with cancer and aids) but they want to cram all kinds of lab-created drugs down our throats. They make me sick (please excuse the pun).

I realize this may seem non-responsive, but I would not recommend it.  The trend is away from smoking, due to well-established health risks.  I realize there are still customers out there, but the already established smoke shops are struggling to keep them, and a new shop would not do well.  And your customer base would (I hope!) continue to shrink, as people wise up to the fact that smoking is simply not good for them.\n\nInvest your money elsewhere.

Most people do what they see other people do in TV or around them most don't think for themselves, they like to fallow the crowd and do like most other people do.\nIf they had a little visit tour at the hospital they could change their mind about smoking...\n\nIt's obvious that the cigarette can cause a lot a damage but being COOL is everything for those who don't have any principles in their life. \nAnd they can't seem to decide by them self wither it's good for them or not they always want the approval of the cool people or at least pretend to be like them

No, it is a theoretical thing. The only thing that is sure is your chance of getting ill increases. You can never prove it was the secondhand smoke, bad diet, drinking. Just that it did not help.

some people feel the need to make thier problems go away by not facing them. The only problem is they dont relize once the drugs have wore off the problem is still there but worse, so they do more drugs. And some people just like the energy some drugs can give them and the feeling of having control of there life (even though they obviously dont have control...the drugs do. And the amazing feeling you can get after smoking a big fat one.

I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician.\nYes, they actually put a hold on the drug due to breathing issues.  Smokers can not use the medication.  Also, there was an issue with the absorbtion rate of the mediaction in the system.

anti psychotics are not given to people that are not psychotic    drug company's do know what is in them  and pharmacies have all the information to give to you as to what they do   peter t is way off   yes drug companies make a fortune  but every drug is for a specific mental  illness   i worked in a mental health hospital for thirty years if it wasn't for the drugs our hospital would be full of institutional patients    90% of the reason people have to return to the hospital is because they have stopped their medication   i have seen hundreds of people admitted that are extremely sick and suffering and see them leave with the proper treatment and medication   i know the medication has unpleasant side effects, but have seen it help so many suffering souls that CANNOT FUNCTION  without them   yes there are cases were a person  has been given a psychotic drug and not psychotic but has been misdiagnosed      the good outweighs the bad  and medication does more good then harm  if helmut could spend some time in a mental hospital he would know what is going on  you must realize for a major organic mental illness, there is no cure.   talking with a therapist will not work for a person with  a major mental illness, because without medication they distort reallity  and you cannot be delusional and expect just talking to help hope this helps

Because some people are too week to deal with life without some type of crutch.  The same issues that non-smokers just deal with make them go to pieces, and they need something to pull themselves back together.

i agree with you totally! i find that people say that the reason it is easier to buy beer and cigarettes is that you as a person don't have to work hard to get them to me that's a bunch of bull. i use the system to work for me not against me. i feel if you can buy beer and cigarettes you can buy food to eat and a place to call home. stop abrusing the system and let it help you and believe me what you do in the dark will come to the light. in other words the system will catch you sooner or later
