  • Reactions of smokers and non-smokers to a new report linking smoking with lung cancer.
    Reports from the Royal College of Physicians in London and the Danish Cancer Association have pointed to the link between smoking and lung cancer. Opinions differ as to the impact of cigarette smoking on a person’s health among members of the public who spoke to RTÉ News.
    One non-smoker comments,
    "If you want to be fit and well, you have to keep off cigarettes...I think it weakens a man’s strength of character."
    Smokers were in general agreement that cigarette smoking wasn’t of benefit to one’s health, but the findings of the report didn’t seem to motivate them enough to stop smoking completely,
    "The doctors know their own business, but as far as I’d be concerned, the fella who’d smoke twenty or thirty a day might get a bit worried."
    The World Health Organisation (WHO) is seeking a comprehensive ban of all tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship under the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
    An RTÉ News report broadcast on 8 March 1962.

    I started smoking in 1985. My first carton of cigarettes was given to me in college by camel cigarettes. They set up a booth on campus with the ploy of being career recruiting. I believe this was a regular tactic to get people addicted young. They gave away hundreds of cases to struggling college students. Several people in my dorms started smoking then.
    I smoked till 2015. I can’t tell you how much wasted energy and money that nasty habit costed me. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done (quitting).
    I feel so much better now.

      I'm trying to quit smoking myself I slowly got into them, and there was never a point where I felt I was "addicted" until I really was deeply addicted. 40-60 a day when I could. Burning through pouches like tissue in a flame.
      I'm using nicotine pouches and have given up vaping. Although last week I was really drunk and gave in to a cigarette. I felt like sh*t even then because I betrayed the promise I made to myself. If I die before my due date I don't want it to be drowning in years of self harm in the form of tar. Smoking is disgusting and I hate how it's captured my life so much. Its a nasty addiction and it's so deeply ingrained in my mind and it's what I turn to in stress or times of calm.

These people look more mature because the clothes and hairstyles they had are the same or similar to what those same people (who are now much older) wear today. So it's actually an illusion caused by us associating different fashions with different age groups. People have taken old pictures and edited them to change the clothes and hairstyles to match modern trends, and it makes the people in the images look younger.

    • @tgb-vf4es
      @tgb-vf4es Год назад +25

      I think this is because of movies. I don't watch movies at all, haven't since college. Ten years ago. I noticed people tend to not be calm when speaking. But I am, and generally they calm, too.
      Then last week I happened to watch a movie at a friend's place. It was on, we were having dinner.
      It felt awkward how all conversations were artificial and agitated. And if everyone watches movies or tv series, they start speaking like that.
      I write and edit for a living. The only people who are reasonably calm are the programmers. Everyone else, especially in sales is dialed to 220% one way or the other.
      Nobody seems to be calm, but maybe I am also exaggerating a bit.
      I do understand your point.

      I still think he’s got an apathetic, fatalist outlook on the matter, but I’m saying that his stance and “Dr. Teeth’s” stance on the issue were the best articulated out of the lot. Ultimately, I agree with Dr. Teeth, but also I get where this guy’s coming from in a limited way.

      She was a stunner. If I had randomly met her back then, I would've been smitten.

    Those guys must be actors, their language knowledge is simply outstanding and the way they all express opinion calmly and with reasoning is wonderful. Wish there were more people like these nowadays
