Subject:	Alcohol Vs Cigarettes
Comment:	I think your comment about alcohol being worse than tobacco somking is wholely wrong, in that drinking alchohol in moderation is scientifically proven to be BENEFICIAL for health, where as smoking in any quantity is not. However you are right to suggest that alcoholism is worse for social reasons, in that it effects behaviour dramatically, and there are a lot of problems associated with this; including drink-driving and domestic violence. etc

Comment:	Life does not require the ingestion of alcohol but people think it is OK. IT DESTROYS your brain cells and kidneys and liver people. What person who loves to drink would ever admit they are an alcoholic? Cigarettes do not impair people or cause them to harm others or to die during a car crash because they were HIGH. LIQUOR is a mind-altering drug that gets people HIGH - that's why it's addictive and that's why it is no good for you. Why is it people think that 'a little alcohol is OK or even HEALTHY!!' THat's like saying well 'Buring my hand with a match is OK as long as I only do it once a week and for no more than a few seconds'. If no amount of any adverse substance can be good for you (including alchol) than why do people praise it! On the other hand, if a little liquor is OK, then a few cigarettes are OK. People's lives are runied far faster from alchoholism than from people who die from smoking - and smokers out live liquor drinkers 50 to 1.

Comment:	Hey, i just read the page on cigarettes and completely agree. People don't seem to realise all the horrifying things smoking does to them. This afternoon after i was walking home from school two women with their prams and children were talking and smoking a packet of cigarettes right infront of their kids. It made me so angry as i walked past through the cloud of smoke that i felt like shaking them both and yelling, 'Have you any idea what you're doing to your kids and their intelligence???' Anyway, is not as if they would listen to a teenager who thought she knew better than they do. However, i still want to help those poor unfortunate souls who are stuck with trollops for mothers...

Comment:	Why would anybody want to put something in their body that isn't supposed to be there, besides the fact that they are poison. Another thing is when they think they feel good it is really their bodies trying to counteract the poisons they put into their bodies. Some people are stupid

Subject:	People will do what they want to.
Comment:	If people wish to smoke then they will, whether there is a £6.2 million government campaign or not. I am currently writing an article of the subject and one thing iver fouind is that there is a fine line between giving advice and telling people what to do. the danger with the new campaign is that its a bit patronising and lecture giving.

Comment:	Smoking kills; don't do it! Alcohol kills; don't do it! Drugs kills; don't do it! If you don't think it'll kill you it will! It may kill your confidence before it kills your body but It still kills! Don't commit suicide!

Subject:	Good point
Comment:	...I was just browsing the web in search of pictures of people damaged from cigarette smoking (skin/ wrinkles, teeth, lungs, etc...) and suddenly I ran thorugh your web and started reading your opinions on the matter. I completely agree with you. Vanity tends to win over health when it comes to cigarette smokers. There is a great deal of denial and adiction of course with cigarette smoking. Therefore it is very easy to forget or block out that it will eventually kill you. I am struggling with cigarette addiction myself. I have been trying to quit and managed a couple of time, yet fell back into the old habbit when a stressful situation arrised and I couldn't deal from the stress. I was searching for raw ugly images of what smoking does to people who have been smoking for a long time so I can once and for all get discouraged and quit this terrible habbit. Whatever works and helps to acually inspire me to finally quit I am willing to take the steps I just wanted to say thank you for raising great points that should be pushed and viewed. I think images are stronger than words and if those anti smoking campaigns can just start showing us the damages smoking causes, it can really SCARE many of those who are still hooked, including myself. .. last but not least, I would like to remind those who think smokers are simply stupid; that this is an 'addiction' addicts become powerless to the drug .. so it is not as simply as it sounds I find this very inspiring, thank you for bringing this up and making it reachable.

Subject:	Alcohol Vs Cigarettes
Comment:	I think that both are on an equal level of health failure. Although I am a drinker myself, I think that drinking causes more deaths because of young drinkers who drive. This is the number one cause of death in America. If children were introduced to drinking at a young age, like in Europe, we wouldn't have nearly as many deaths from drinking. They need to be taught moderation and responsibilities of drinking, which is why people get addicted to drinking, moderation. You call yourselves adults but yet you can’t control your alcohol intake... how are you going to control your kids then? And smoking cigarettes is just as bad. If you know how many people get addicted and die from lung cancer, why start smoking? To be cool? the fact is that smoking and drinking are social behaviors that influence our health greatly, but we don’t care... we care about when the next time we get paid, or the next time we get laid, not when we are going to die because we all are going to die one day...right?

Subject:	your smoking comments
Comment:	Most of what you wrote is spoken truly like some one who's never had a smoking addiction. It never stops amazing me how non-smokers have it all figured out for us smokers. But I must correct some of your information. First of all, smoking makes us fat. Wrong. Studies show that nicotin raises the metabolism. If a smoker is fat, it's because they're over eating, not because they are a smoker. And I know many many smokers, myself included, who are in very good health, work-out at least 5 days a week (myself included again), and look phenominal. What you said about anti-aging creams is also wrong. They do work to a certain degree, I'm living proof of that. I've smoked for over 20 years, I'm 40 years old and I'm constantly told that I don't look over 35. A lot of what you said is true, but only 'generally' speaking. I'm not an advocate of smoking, and I would never ever suggest that anyone start. I would love to stop myself. But it does get really old and tired hearing people who have no clue what it is to battle an addiction tell us, 'just stop!'. Were it that easy, not many people would be smoking, don't you think? why not go find a crack addict and tell him to 'just stop' and see what happens.
