We are all responsible for our own actions.

the smoker is because it's like you go buy a gun and then shoot someone it is not the companies fault for selling you that gun.

I was a smoker and am a breast cancer survivor. Had my diagnosis been lung cancer, I could only blame myself. But as there is a poor link between smoking and breast cancer, there is no one for me to blame. In most cases, a cancer patient/survivor who looks for someone to blame, is not working through the acceptance process all the way. And by the way, don't kid yourself. We all think we're immune to cancer because we're "healthy," "have a good immune system," are rich, pretty, don't smoke, don't go to tanning salons, whatever. No one thinks they are going to get it. For the vast majority of people who get cancer, they really didn't DO anything to deserve it. Get over yourself.

Its called an addiction. Most smokers quit smoking at least 2 or 3 times before they are able to stick to it. It may be the hardest thing they've ever done. Its nitwits like you who really bother me. I would much rather sit next to a person who smokes than you. You think you are holier than someone who has a bad habit? Your brain is screwed up and you can't quit that.

Smoking didnt cause lung cancer in me, but it did cause leukemia. Ultimatly, I blame myself because at the end of the line I am responsible for my own actions. However, I have to tell you, when I picked up that first cig when I was 13, the health risks were the farthest from my mind. Most of the adults in my family smoked. My uncle died of a smoking related cancer, but that wasnt until years later. My aunt had a heart attack when I was 12, but that was more due to other risks factors than smoking. My mom smoked and never even tried to quit. I just wasnt worried about something that only might happen 60 years down the road. Too bad I was only 21 when I was diagnosed. I DO however, feel that the tobacco companies do need to take some sort of responsibility. Their advertising is limited now, but they used to and sort of still do target young people in their ads. There is no real reason why they have to add in all those additives that make commercial cigs so dangerous. I basically feel like the cig companies do everything they can to get people to smoke and keep smoking. As I said, at the end of the day i am responsible for my own actions, but when and where do the cig companies take repsonsibility for THEIR actions???

Yea! It is part companies fault! If they wouldn't sell it to you and make it so damn addicting we wouldn't be hooked would we? If you don't have it then you can't use it!
