it's just a spring clean for the may queen

I used to work in an office where I, as a non-smoker, got a 10-minute break every morning and afternoon. The smokers basically got unlimited breaks to go outside and smoke.

Still pisses me off.

We get it, smoking is bad. Now shouldn't we be using that money to find out something we don't know?

\still no cure for...

DaveX: We get it, smoking is bad

Evidently not. There are still a great many people who smoke.

Publish an article about a study. State certain conclusions generated from study. Last sentence of the article claim "No clear conclusions".

Excellent read!

Heh. I came here to post this so..uh..This.

Jim: I'm just saying that you can't be sure that is wasn't you.
Dwight: That's ridiculous, of course it wasn't me.
Jim: Marijuana is a memory loss drug, so maybe you just don't remember.
Dwight: I would remember.
Jim: Well, how could you, if it just erased your memory?
Dwight: That's not how it works.
Jim: Now how do you know how it works?
Dwight: Knock it off, okay, I'm interviewing you.
Jim: No! You said that I'd be conducting the interview when I walked in here. Now exactly how much pot did you smoke?

They are assuming a lot. Like I have 10 years left to recover.

/puff

I quit smoking 5 months ago after 15 years. I still get up every 2 hours or so and go outside for a minute, it's just part of my work routine at this point. I don't think my co-workers care. After all, they are at perfect liberty to do the same thing if they want to.

I must be smoking too much, because this looks like crap to me.

"Male smokers and male nonsmokers should clear differences in risk for rapid cognitive decline. Contrary, female smokers and female nonsmokers did not reveal a clear difference in risk for dementia."

Anyone take the poll on that page?

This has all the makings of a Fark / Ron Paul landslide.

I think that the...ummmmmm....uhhhhh.......forgot what I was going to say. Oh well off for a smoke.

Sure we are. Nothing says, "Hey, there's a productive worker!" than stopping what you are doing to go outside and do nothing. At least when the boss sees a smoker out there they still think, "Well, that's understandable; we can't very well have them smoke inside."

Flawed perceptions are still perceptions.

Everyone knows damn well that smoking is bad for your health. They know it because they're constantly being reminded of it by everyone around them that doesn't smoke. People still smoke mostly because it's very addictive, although there are a few that do it because they like it and just don't give a fark about the impact to their health.

/ for the record I've never smoked a cigarette in my life

Yeah.... that.

Damn, it's true. I only smoke after sex and I can't remember the last time I smoked.

Pretty much this, I eat right, hardly ever drink, get lots of exercise and generally take care of myself. My lifestyle is healthier than the douchebags who will tell me how bad a person I am because I smoke with a mouth full of McDonalds.

I think it was about three months ago, when I read that "researchers" had determined that smokers scored higher on cognitive skills tests. All of these findings are crap. Smoking is not good for you, but it really isn't as bad as we're told.

The funny thing to me is how many people I see in their 20s smoking. You would think with all the information out there they wouldnt. Especially my dumb ass roomate. she thinks I cant tell when she smokes indoors that pisses me off to no end.
