It's appalling! I keep a list of the anti-smoking FReepers in here. You would NOT believe it!!!
"To compare human waste that is eventually and naturally making its way outside the body with the effects of smoking is really laughable."
Really, now...are you truly that challenged?
The statement was to address your quote about keeping the body clean, as if the body was somehow "clean" when someone doesn't smoke (although from your post, it's obvious that some people have much more waste in them than others).
I'll tell you what...if you think the comparison is so poor, ask everyone you know if they'd rather smoke a pack of cigarettes, or eat a pound of of their own human excrement. See if they're bought off by your assertion of "natural" being better.
What ever happened to principles?
"I'll tell you what...if you think the comparison is so poor, ask everyone you know if they'd rather smoke a pack of cigarettes, or eat a pound of of their own human excrement. See if they're bought off by your assertion of "natural" being better."
Your comparison is not poor, it is "absurd". Poor would be a vast improvement that would elevate you from the status of pea brain to half a brain.
For your absurd (Note: not poor but crazy) experiment to even be admissable as such, people would have to be asked if they would take a jar of black gooey tar taken from tobacco and have a doctor smear it all inside their lungs.
Because you take the end result of consuming food and absurdly (Note: not poor but crazy) try to create a test with the beginning process of self destructing your lungs by smoking cigarettes. That would be cheating and you can be absurd all you like but I am afraid I cannot allow you to cheat on top of it.
To be intellectually honest and relevant in a serious non absurd way, your experiment would need to be with the end result of both processes. The fact that you don't do so shows a high degree of being "challenged" or desperate. Which is it? I am starting to think both apply to you.
So to get back to your absurd (Note: not poor but crazy) experiment in which you cheat either from desperation or from being challenged, I think most people would go for the pound of excrement to eat rather than have a jar of gooey black tar smeared into their lungs. I know I would.
Little children in school learn that waste is produced in the body as part of the process of digesting food so a person can go on living. They are also taught that excrement can be used as fertalizer. You can take a pound of my crap and spread it around in your garden to help you grow tasty vegetables for you and your family to eat. What are people supposed to do with your tar from smoking?

No need to offer any more of your crap...you've already loaded this thread.
