Smoking?

A question for all of you who have smoked, didn't you ever stop to think, not just for your own health but others around you? There are people out there with born lung conditions like CF and Asthma. These diseases don't show on the outside but didn't you think that you're taking away the freedom of others who need transplants, through no fault of their own, to go to pubs, restraunts and cafes.

Even when I'm in hospital and I go outside for some fresh air, I'm surrounded by patients who have gone outside for a smoke. Why are you killing me and my friends faster?

    When you know a person who has had a heart attack do you also tell them if they weren't so fat and ate so poorly they wouldn't get sick?

    I absolutely cannot believe a person would come to this sight and say such a thing!

    Idiot! You have no idea how many times those of us who have/have had lung cancer, brought on by smoking, have stopped to think about what we have done. We don't need your lecture! You have no idea with whom you are dealing on this website. Who else do you kick while they're down?????????

    Whoa! I just joined and this happened to be the first post I went to. If you have ever had cancer you wouldn't be writing this and being so nasty. I know the rest has to be better than this. I will pray for you and hope you can change your outlook on life.

    You are truly a jerk! I wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy, but fella - until you've had it don't you DARE try to lecture ANYONE on what they should or should't have done. Don't you think we all know NOW that we shouldn't have smoked? DUH!!! But no one can turn back the clock and start over. I, personally, had lung cancer and had half of my lung removed and went through 12 weeks of chemo. Yes, I smoked and wish I had never started so that I wouldn't have had to go through what I did, and even worse, what I put my family through. But, I guess I was one of those people who thought - cancer happens to other people, not to me. Well, I was wrong!! I no longer smoke and I have been cancer-free for almost 2 years now. Think next time before you open your mouth - and if you haven't had cancer or are not close to someone who has or has had cancer - get out of our space!!!

    What an unkind person you are, I do not believe you should be aloud on this site. May I ask you, what about the many many cancers that have not come froming smokeing???? May God have mercy on you my friend
