There is no conclusive evidence that smoking is harmful. In fact, smoking causes you to inhale more air, which is life sustaining. In fact, it can be said that smoking is actually a good thing for you because it brings more air into your lungs.
The amount of smoke inhaled into your lungs from a cigarettes is so much less than the total of regular air that you inhale throughout your life that the smoking is negligible. In fact, you inhale more smoke from natural causes than you ever would from cigarettes. See? Smoking cannot affect the natural cycle of breathing.
There have been documented instances of men during the middle ages smoking pipes and living to a ripe old age. Explain how that doesn't disprove that smoking causes lung cancer, Mr. Surgeon General.
The effects of smoking have been greatly exaggerated.
Liberal socialist communist overlords just want people to believe cigarettes can affect the natural breathing cycle in order to tax everyone and institute one world government.
The Surgeon General fails to warn you that non-smokers die every day. If smoking is so bad, then why are non-smokers dying? It's a natural cycle.
Believe it or not, nicotine is actually "a surprisingly potent drug for a variety of diseases that afflict the brain, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Tourette’s syndrome." You see, we need nicotine to live.
Cigarette butts are used by birds to make houses. Where would birds live and nest if everyone were to quit smoking? What do Marxist nonsmokers have against birds?
"Much of the debate ... is predicated on fear, rather than science." Calling smoking a bad thing in order to tax it is the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people," - James Inhofe
