Most likely Dave has already got a life and he is trying to hang on
to it
and his health by avoiding passive smoking.

Could you name someone who as died from passive smoking? Anywhere in
the world will do.

Roy Castle, the entertainer.

Nope.

It is well documented that Roy Castle did die of passive smoking, but if
you are simply going to contradict anyone who doesn't agree with you

Which he will. There's no point in arguing with junkies.


No point in arguing with anyone if you don't know the facts.

Well, the facts are, if you smoke (not talking about secondary smoking)

you are clogging up your lungs with tars and other carcinogenic
substances, impairing their ability to function properly

the carbon monoxide you inhale preferentially attaches to the
haemoglobin, further reducing the body's ability to get oxygen to the
cells which need it to produce the energy required to function correctly

There are no real benefits from smoking ( slight improvement in memory
aside) - no high, no tripping, no benefit to the body

They are now seriously expensive - what, £7/packet

So it begs the question - other than the nagging little voice of
addiction - why would any rational human want to smoke?
