Welcome to Daniweb! :)

Welcome to Daniweb! :) Sounds like you've had a great career!

Those are interesting, Dave. And I'm not going to say I believe in everything it says, but a lot of it makes sense.

I found an article about a woman who says she had inoperable cancer due to...

How old do you have to be to drive a moped?

Some people want the age to be raised to 21.

Wow, now this is ridiculous. But are the laws in China the same as here in the US?

You aren't allowed to buy tobacco until age 18, right?

But seriously, at age 9?
How in the world did you get cigarettes as a child?

Well then you're just special. Or better yet, sneaky.

Well sorry to burst your bubble, but everyone who smokes smell like cigarettes. Unless they take a shower and put on some clean clothes after they light up.

Ok seriously, punctuation?

Of course every smoker is also a secondhand smoker.

Secondhand smoke comes from sidestream smoke (which is smoke that comes from the end of a lighted cigarette,...

I don't know the answer to these questions. I was just quoting things that I read from the CDC, WHO, and ACS.

This is what the American Cancer Society says...

Secondhand smoke can be harmful in many ways. In the United States alone, each year it is responsible for:

an estimated 35,000 deaths from...

Well I'm sure it must be, unless the American Cancer Society, Center for Disease Control, and WHO are all wrong.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that, "There is no risk-free...

Oh no it does not, sir.

Other kinds of smoke do not include: cadmium, tar, toluene, arsenic, acetone, phenol, ammonia, etc. And most importantly, it does not have nicotine.

Secondhand smoke is classified as a "known human carcinogen" (cancer-causing agent) by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the US National Toxicology Program, and the International Agency...

I don't think I'd have enough patience to look through 52 pages for it.

Yeah, we covered this already.

But it's not as dangerous. At all.
Do you ever hear about people dying due to overexposure of campfire smoke?

Are you serious? =/

That's different.

Now if this doesn't make you want to quit smoking, I don't know what will.

Ok so let me try to translate...

You don't know what we're talking about even though the title of the thread is called smoking. You like to smoke weed. You're not a nerd. You like girls. And...

Like I said... smoking can be beneficial if used in the right manner.

But most of the time in most people, the outcome is never good.

Ok.

Must have missed that. Oh wait, I stopped after I read "The original Surgeon General's Report, released in 1964, showed no ill effects from pipe smoking, or moderate cigar smoking."

Why do they...

Who is this -- Lauren A. Colby?

Is he a doctor or just some kind of philosopher?

[Edit:] His words seem to be more opinionated than factual.
I'd like to see a website that isn't bias on this...

Too late.
But why.

Keep thinking that.

Ditto.

No. I think Narue just likes to think she's right all the time.

And I like to prove her wrong.

An orderly? Wow, orderlies clean equipment and transport patients. CNAs are considered nurses here. They clean, bathe, feed, and clothe patients. They do all the things that LPNs and RNs don't want...

Hmm. I'm sorry, but I don't think this involves math.
Have you ever heard of a CNA? Of course not. Because if you did, you wouldn't have made such an ignorant statement.

The CNA program is...

Josh said "just about everything." Besides, he was trying to make a point.

Uh yes a 17 year old nurse. And why in the world would I lie about that?
I'm no expert, but that doesn't mean I haven't studied. Get that in your head.

You can't read can you?

Now I know you...

Well of course not. It's a virus.

Finally.
Thank God for common sense.

Ignorant? I'm a nurse. My whole life is based around studying medicine, conditions, diseases, and treatments. And yes, I am right.

I've seen these studies, and doctors use all kinds of drugs,...

Hmm... that's interesting since I have never heard anyone in the medical field proclaim that smoking is good for you. Neither have I read any health book stating this ridiculous idea. Smoking...

How do you know that the online test was even accurate? Besides, I'm not really involved with politics... and frankly, I don't want to be. I base my decisions on my values and beliefs.

That's why...
