A Chinese man was disqualified from the Xiamen Marathon for chain-smoking during the race, violating a new rule against uncivilized behavior.
I’m anticigarettes, but still impressed.
As someone who smoked two packs a day at one point, I am also impressed.
Congratulations!
Edit: wait how many do you smoke now?
I just moved to vaping and away from smoking. There was no big accomplishment here, unfortunately. Meh, it’s just a risk tradeoff as nicotine isn’t completely harmless itself. Without getting into details here, quitting nicotine is not on the table for at least another year.
Man proves that smoking is a massively propagandized topic and all the popular rhetoric really amounts to prohibition and behavior control.
Gets behavior controlled.
uh… medical lung scans show otherwise, but I’m fine with people destroying their own.
Yes, in old age when the excretory system is failing tar can accumulate in the lungs. When you’re in your 70s or 80s.
You need to do more research.
Nicotine addiction makes some people go so hard into denial it’s unreal.
Nicotine also does damage to the brain. Plus if they are old enough to have been breathing in leaded gasoline and everything else, there is no hope for them.
And MDMA eats holes in your brain.
And if you take Acid once, you will randomly go on “phantom trips” every month or so for the rest of your life.
Just keep watching “Reefer Madness” on repeat as a documentary and dont worry about splashing your stupid on the interwebz.
My favorite part is the idea that horrible damage suddenly happens in your 70s and 80s, as if decades of long term use can’t possibly add up to something.
That is exactly what the debunk found though.
Somewhere in the 70s they found a dude with complete liver and kidney failure who was in his 80s. He was a smoker.
After autopsy, they too HIS lung, one guy, took a pic, and paraded it around America saying “this is what all smoker’s lungs look like.”
It was a patent lie.
The body is fully capable of filtering out waste and pissing and shitting it out… until the excretory system fails. Then sepsis sets in and a person dies of sepsis.
God, the sheer unadulterated stupidity of you loud mouth prohibitionist asshats…
18 years enough?
The propaganda you slurp up without verification reeks.
Exceptions to the rule don’t make the rule obsolete. How many smokers do you know that could reliably run any distance further than 800m? I don’t know any, but I do know plenty of people that quit smoking because it was inhibiting their exercise. Being a human that grew up in an area that normalized tobacco consumption and played sports, I’ve tried cigarettes. It absolutely affects performance in a very negative way. He completed the marathon in spite of his smoking, and would have performed better even if he stopped for a couple weeks beforehand and immediately resumed smoking after.
False equivelency.
How many Karens and Kens soaking their undies in bleach do you know who could reliably run any distance further than 800m?
Fuck off propaganda guzzler.
