Uh.. and alcohol is any different?

Don't know..never been addicted to alcohol. I have been to cigs. I am not trying to speak to anything other than smoking.

I actually read a study several years ago that smoking stimulated centers of the brain that increased mathematical thinking for up to 20 minutes.

Paid for by Philip Morris?

Haha! probably. I don't remember. Of course, that was in my rationalization period.

The relaxation comes from the temporary relief of withdrawl symptoms.

I call bullshit. This only applies to addicts and you know it.

For what? If you want to transport stuff rent a U-Haul or a pickup.

If you buy a carton and give away one pack, how many packs remain? How many cigarettes?

If you bum 8 cigs in a day, pick up one half smoked from the ground and smoke 2 and half of the one you half smoked, how many cigs remain?

You buy a 25 pack of Marlboros and a normal pack of Winstons, how many cigs do you have?

However, the owners of these clubs and bars are having their freedom infringed. Smoking is not illegal (at least not yet)...

Banning smoking in these areas is no different from requiring the owners to follow relevant fire prevention regulations or to provide good hygiene.

Maybe you're right. I can't recall not being an addict, except since I quit. I started in my teens.

Easy answer... get a ****ing bus .

[q=Lancer]If you buy a carton and give away one pack, how many packs remain? How many cigarettes?[/q]

First you have to tell me how many packs in a carton and how many cigarettes per carton. I know I opened cartons when I was at CVS (was it 10 packs per carton?), but I've never smoked a cigarette in my life.

Being fat, however, is an imposition upon others. We take up more space in planes and elevators.

A lot of things we do is an imposition upon others (such as farting or having bad breath), though these don't cause damage to the cells in another person's body. Okay, most of them don't.

The results of drinking can harm others, as most non-white collar crimes are committed under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Yes, but only indirectly. Drinking does not directly cause harm, except to the drinker.

That's the point Imran, you fail.

Aren't most if not all smokers addicts? Seeing that nicotine is probably the most addictive substance, and a lot of smokers have problems quitting.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Nicotine, most addictive? You have obviously never heard of crack?

And I do know social smokers, or smokers who only smoke when they drink, so yeah, I think you are generalizing a great deal.

You fail because the math test which smokers do 20% better at, which I speculate is given by Phillip Morris, is about how many cigs remain... You don't smoke, don't know how many cigs in a pack, and so fail. Smokers do better on the test because their 'math abilities' increase.
