You can say that and I know its "common knowledge" but honestly if you really look into it the research is pretty limited and definitely not conclusive my gramps would be the first to tell you that. Anyways to change the topic what do you guys like to do for fun

Beat up on trolls.

I feel like if you smoke and bike or run on the tredmill it cancels out so to speak...you will sweat out the toxins and oxygens to inhale fresh clean (sometimes stinky LOL) gym air. Thoughts? Or am I off the wagon this time haha

You've been off the wagon this whole time, especially this time. Your body doesn't 'sweat out' toxins. No amount of exercise can cancel out lung cancer.

I don't like smoking. I'm allergic to the smoke, so it makes it hard for me to breathe. It's always weird and a little upsetting for me to go somewhere and have to deal with the smoke, especially if it's somewhere you wouldn't expect there to be smoking.

Cigarettes are crazy unhealthy, and I get a bit irritated (okay, a lot irritated) when someone who smokes or is in the process of smoking hates on someone who is overweight because they aren't as healthy as they could be. Um...you know you're smoking, right.

You used the word toxins generically, not listing any specific one. Your point is invalid and you have no expertise. Please stop.

There's no debate. Smoking cigarettes negatively affects your health. Period. There's no argument to be made. You show me a 100-year-old guy that smokes two packs a day and is still going strong with no health issues and I'll show you a hundred snokers that are suffering from things like lung cancer, mouth cancer, stomach cancer, emphysema, heart disease, strokes, etc. One healthy person that smokes does not mean smoking is suddenly not unhealthy. There's absolutely nothing "limited" about the research, so get your head out of the sand. It's a well-established fact that smoking is harmful. It's your choice if you want to smoke, but you're not helping yourself by being in such denial about what it's doing to your body.

I hear the human body can pass up to 1 cigarette worth or toxins per hour

Whoever told you that is wrong.

Again with the generalizations. Let's try to keep this civil. And honestly i smoke but not as much as a lot of people, some days I don't even do a whole pack, I hear the human body can pass up to 1 cigarette worth or toxins per hour

You clearly have no clue what you are smoking.

I know a guy who smoked for 6 months while he was dating this skank. They broke up and BAM! Herpes...

Thank you for your input but its defensive tone undermines the points your attempting to make, just constructive critisism like you gave me

Just because someone's tone might not be what you want... doesn't mean they aren't right. Because she is right.

Smoking is super unhealthy. I can only imagine what I would do with the money that goes toward a PAD or more smokers. My father-in-law recently quit after smoking for about 30 years... His reasoning: he wants a boat and the money saved from the cigarettes can cover a monthly boat payment! Winning!

I just. Don't play with the trolls.
