LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Smoking killed nearly five million people in 2000, accounting for almost equal numbers in the developed and developing nations and painting a bleak picture for the future, scientists have said.

[Phaedrus]

I don't believe the number ... probably made up by the Libs.

[SheLion]

Not very Christian of you.

Like I found on his about me page at Free Republic:

He writes: "It's better to be quiet, and thought a fool. Than to say something that erases all doubt".

Pretty pathetic creature...........don't you think?

[SheLion]

Did Jesus tell you to say that, or are ya just out there sinnin' on your own?

Jesus AND God sure have a sense of humor. He created THIS guy. heh!

[JesusSaves]

Temper, temper. You must have some guilt about my earlier response... Your lack of shame is very astounding, "I smoked during pregnancy, smoked in the maternity ward, as well as many other mothers (of course that makes it right, because "everyone was doing it", and I was a nursing mother who also smoked".

You even boast.

[SheLion]

As for me, I believe Jesus is the Son of the living God, suffered, and died for my sins, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, as I type. Careful with your innuendos.

You protest too much my friend.

[per loin]

My guess is that he is either a Muslim or an athiest, trying to impugn the sacred name of Jesus by including it in his handle.

[SheLion]

You even boast.

Yes, I boast! Smoking hasn't hurt ANY of us! My Grandmother lived to be 86 years old, and smoked THREE packs of unfiltered camels every day since she was young. Smoking hasn't hurt any of us. It's people like YOU that is spreading propoganda.

If you thought that you could post this thread and have everyone bow down to your feet and agree with you, your sadly mistaken. VERY sadly mistaken.

[JesusSaves]

"You protest too much my friend."

You over estimate yourself, we will never be friends.

[SheLion]

My guess is that he is either a Muslim or an athiest, trying to impugn the sacred name of Jesus by including it in his handle.

He's either 14 years old or one sick puppy. I can't STAND the intolerance of these people. Crazy how they want to rule the world and do it in the name of Jesus, isn't it!

[SheLion]

You over estimate yourself, we will never be friends.

Oh! Praise God! I will just keep you in my prayers until you see the err of your ways. Hopefully, the Lord WILL shine down on you one day, and have you love and accept everyone in Free Republic. Even if they smoke!

[per loin]

He's obviously making a mockery of the name of Jesus. Could be that he's just insane, but I don't think so. Too much of the smell of evil to him. Either Muslim or athiest, but in either case, satanic.

[JesusSaves]

"I can't STAND the intolerance of these people." That is truly the most moronic, oxymoron statement I have ever read! Read, carefully, slowly, what you wrote.

[SheLion]

He's obviously making a mockery of the name of Jesus. Could be that he's just insane, but I don't think so. Too much of the smell of evil to him. Either Muslim or athiest, but in either case, satanic.

I think I will move on. We have a petry dish here with blinders. I don't care to spar with him any longer. This petry dish is hopeless..........

The smoker's arguement is that smoking is not harmful, causes no ill effect, and couldn't possibly kill (shorten) anyone's life.

Once, just once I would love to see one of you self-righteous control freaks prove that statement. I've been hearing that statement for so many years that I can practically predict when some anti-smoker is going to say it.

[Gabz]

Great kid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[metesky]

You even boast.

You accuse.

You insinuate.

You signify.

ESAD.

[metesky]

You agitate for agitations sake.

You are a fraud.

[Mihalis]

Does anyone know what percentage of heavy smokers get lung cancer?

Answer coming up.

"I smoked during pregnancy, smoked in the maternity ward, as well as many other mothers, and I was a nursing mother who also smoked", you should be VERY proud of yourself!

She is with good reason: she's raised a beautiful, wonderful daughter. Of course, to some, that's not enough--they seem to believe they are annointed to do what they perceive as God's work which includes abusing those who happen to disagree with them. Gonna be interesting to find out just what God has to say to them when they try to explain their hatred toward others of his creatures.

p for the uninitiated....This is literally "the blind attempting to lead the blind" since JS proves in the following sentence that he/she has no idea at all what this discussion is about.

The smoker's arguement is that smoking is not harmful, causes no ill effect, and couldn't possibly kill (shorten) anyone's life.

Well, no, that's NOT the smokers' argument, not even close, although we ARE aware of the lies and junk science used to frighten the sheeple into permitting a War on one in four of their fellow citizens. Our argument is simple: WHAT WE DO WITH OUR LIVES IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS AND IF YOU'LL KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF WHAT DOESN'T CONCERN YOU, WE'LL GET ALONG FINE. BTW, this is not an innuendo: When you preach hate against nearly 70 million Americans, you're not doing God's work, no matter how much lip service you give to Christian beliefs.
