Why is smoking cigarettes considered bad today but in the 50s

>>38221767
Because back then people had no idea what kind of damage they were doing and I also assume that (((tobacco companies))) weren't putting rat poison in them.

Why is asbestos bad today whrn back then it was used everywhere and no one got mesothelioma?

>>38221862
>asbestos

it's really only dangerous to people who smoke. there's something much much worse about the combination of the two than either alone

>>38221767
They were u autistic chimp its just they thought it was the norm to wake up coughing up black tar since everyone and their dog was smoking back then

>people went outside and got lots of natural sunlight everyday
>people were physically active in most of their jobs and home life
>men had workshops, not "man caves" filled with figurines and video games
>food was far less processed and more local
>we let our poor people go hungry instead of becoming diabetic fat asses
>people were more social and had deeper friendships

all these outweighed the life-shortening effects of smoking.

in modern times we have gotten good at extending the length of people's lives while allowing their quality of life to turn to pure shit.

oh child, you were not around in the late 80s early 90's before all that started getting phased out aggressively and it was largely contained to the 'smoking section'. I don't know how a lot of these places renovated the old smoking rooms but the room would be filled with cigarette smoke to the point it was like a cloud all over the entire room and people would be coughing a fucking ton all over it.

the lack of proper scientific studies done about the effects of smoking tobacco on your health and the massive efforts by the industry to suppress any studies like these from ever being published or funded.

that being said fuck that. there's something so cathartic about lighting up a cigarette and taking that first drag that even if nicotine had the effects of krokodil I'd be smoking right until I killed myself.

It's a god damn addictive drug anon, it's honestly lame it fucking does nothing for you after a week or less of smoking regularly. But getting up to that point where it does nothing its just such an ingrained piece of behavior offering moderate benefits with little to no immediate effects like fuck yeah I want that

>>38222106
>waaah i dont like white people smiling in an environment they are comfortable in waaaah

>>38222302
i smoke like 5 a day and have for like 10 years and havent ever notcied any ill effects of coughing besides the regular cough but think it will eventually fuck my shit up even a 5 a day

>>38221908

Asbestos is dangerous to everyone. It's more dangerous to smokers, because their lungs are already fucked up from smoking.

But people who don't smoke can still get mesothelioma/asbestosis.

5-10 a day in middle school, pack a day throughout high school 2 packs a day on weekends with nothing to do (strictly limit to a pack a week currently)

I swam competitively a bajillion years ago and never really noticed any effects from smoking that much. Quit varsity in 11th grade when around when I stopped smoking.

Came back senior year having not trained at all or done any significant physical activities and was actually faster lmfao.

Smoke fucks you up especially and obviously your lungs but in a slow compounding way that I don't give a shit about and nobody else gives a shit about until a decade or whatever after smoking that heavily.

So I'm going to proceed with not giving a shit about it, I'll die a short painful death in my 50s worse case scenario and that's that. The infinite comforts, friendships, and situations that smoking tobacco has gotten me into is well worth it.

>>38222665
Not him but at 5 a day I seriously doubt that would lead to a death from copd or cancers

theres some heavy smokers out there

>>38222696

It would still inflate lung disease chances just like living in a heavily polluted urban area.

but seriously just let me smoke and shoot me when I become completely useless to society.

>>38221797
> and I also assume that (((tobacco companies))) weren't putting rat poison in them.

How the fuck is this even legal

MEANWHILE WEED IS ILLEGAL, which is far less harmful to your health.

Just goes to show how much power corporations have in our capitalist society and money is all that matters.

And yes, there is quite a difference between the two.

>>38221767
>and no one was constantly cough shit up and suffocating
They did, the movies and tvs you watch about that era that glorify that stuff are either about people too young to really be affected yet or just omitted completely. But if you want to smoke then do it, just be willing to accept the health problems in the future.

>>38221986
>tfw poor
>tfw fat in childhood and now that I'm away from my parents trying to lose it
We should go back to starving the poor

>>38222941
Both are grown, both are smoked as cigarettes, both are sold for lots of profit, both are addicting. Not all that different until you start looking at specific pharmacology. Go fuck yourself.

>>38222879

>There difference between the two are minimal.

No, the difference is considerable.

"Common sense" is wrong here. Tobacco smoke is far more harmful to health than cannabis smoke.

http://healthland.time.com/2012/01/10/study-smoking-marijuana-not-linked-with-lung-damage/

There is no comparison. The smoke from tobacco is seriously more dangerous to human health than the smoke from cannabis.

>>38223007
One has several medicinal properties. The other is worthless for medicinal use. Kill yourself, retarded autist.

>>38223046
It's really not, fucking HappyHealthTime420.bz is not a reliable journal. Inhaling any kind of smoke is terrible for you. In terms of harm the difference between smoking tobacco and marijuana is negligible. Compare the effects of plain tobacco and plain marijuana smoked in the same manner and you will see the exact same thing, lung damage from smoke.

>>38223092
I'm guessing you are either a tobacco or weed junkie. Both have many medicinal properties. Kys,stoner/tobaccer. Whichever one it is that you abuse, it has obviously given you irreversible brain damage.

Marijuana(smoked) is cancerous and mentally addictive. I know weed makes you feel really happy while making you 15% less intelligent, but it isn't some LOL GOD'S GIFT TO THE PLANET MAAAN!!!

Japan is the last bastion of the free smoking world.

You can still smoke in most places (including bars, Burger King and coffee shops) and some train cars which have an ashtray built into the handrest.

Recently there has been pressure from International health organisations to ban smoking in public spaces because of Olympics.

It's sad, to see the last part of a long history of smoking if it will get banned.

>>38222696
One of my sergeants used to chain smoke like crazy and was able to keep up with guys a third of his age. Like full blown lighting a dart with another with a full lip of dip usually as well. You can honestly get away with a lot of smoking if you have an active lifestyle.

>>38221797
I always assumed the "rat poison" thing is just a common ingredient in both products phrased to make it sound much worse than it is.

Nursing homes that have long term care are not creepy...

Theyre just depressing as fuck.

"They had no idea about the brain cancer."

>>38223208
Got any sources to back up this bullshit?

Started smoking when I was 18. Seldomly at first, but by age 21 (25 now) I am up to half a pack a day. I've tried to quit a bunch of times but my willpower is bullshit. I want off this ride, bots. How do?

>>38223887

Have you ever cleaned out a dirty bowl? You see all the tar and shit stuck in there? How is that not horrible for you?

>>38223894
start by smoking the same ammount but only puff 5 of them and then next week smoke 8 and puff 2 and stay like that for a while until 6 but puff 1 and smoke 5 and just keep down sizing

and as far as a new thing to fill the void myabe try coffee, candy like jolly ranchers

youll probably disregard this but even chwing some tobacco is nice and actual chew not snuff or dip you dont get much nicotine at all, i mena like maybe the ammount youd get from being around someone smoking aka you cant feel it at all it just tatses like tobacco and lasts 40-60 minutes

>>38223894
Just keep yourself busy in places you can't smoke. In basic there was so little time for anything other than getting shit on that I couldn't be assed to run a mile for a single drag of a smoke. By the end of it I didnt feel cravings anymore.

Although I willingly picked it back up again because when you've been up for like 70 hours in freezing rain sitting in a fucking hold fire position nicotine is the one thing you keeps you sane.

>>38223909
So the answer is no, you don't have any sources

>>38223972

What do you mean? Light the cigarette and suck but don't inhale?

>>38223978
I'm always in a place where I can smoke. I don't have enough shit to keep me busy for as long as it would take me to quit cold turkey.

>>38224027
>Light the cigarette and suck but don't inhale?
yes by puff i mean instead of inhaling i mean just have it in your mouth for taste like you would a cigar or pipe

>>38223991

Keep telling yourself that all that tar and shit isn't going to hurt you. If you want to completely disregard common sense, then more power to you.

>>38224061

I actually like that idea a lot. Thanks for the tip anon.

>>38224110
no problem

also seriously though chewing tobacco not snuff or dip is also a great way, you get the tobacco flavor for a long time and no nicotine really just remeber to spit. i recommend levi garrett

snuff and dip how ever is like smoking 4 cigarettes at once after 20 minutes and always makes me feel like puking so i dont use it

They didn't know the results of smoking would cause. People know what the results are.

>>38224176

I'm not in a position to judge but chewing tobacco personally grosses me out.

Also, I think my addiction has more to do with the action of smoking rather than the taste. I've toyed with the idea of getting a vape pen with a zero nicotine just so I have something to smoke. If I were to do any replacements, it would probably be that.

>>38224248
oh okay i get you

i just like the way cigs, chew and coffee go together especially cigs during coffee and chew after

>>38223673

Except you don't, and I didn't link to happyhealthtime420 or whatever the fuck.

You're appealing to common sense. In this case, common sense is wrong.

The empirical evidence clearly shows that cannabis smoke is not as harmful to the lungs or other parts of the body as tobacco smoke.

>>38229275
>>38223139

It was surprisingly difficult for scientists to prove that cannabis smoke is carcinogenic, because the data in most countries was corrupted by dealers cutting the cannabis with tobacco (which also made it a gateway drug; I knew someone at school who got hooked on cigarettes after starting out on marijuana).

Eventually they proved it using data from New Zealand.

Well they had to wait for the studies to happen. It takes a generation to see how a popular drug affects the body long term, it takes time to see the damage.
