  • 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.

    For those of you surprised by how "avant-garde" this interview is: linking tobacco to cancer has been done since the 1890s. In the 50s and 60s, the tobacco industry started working together to stop information and spread disinformation about tobacco being safe, that's why knowing tobacco is a problem *sounds* new, but it really isn't

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.

      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 watched a video about the age/appearance thing the other day, it's actually really interesting. 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.

      That doesn't make sense. Any one of the many Irish accents is a form of a British accent. There is no such thing as _the_ British accent; there are many, probably around 40 distinct accents.

      @@epajarjestys9981 It depends on which accents you refer to, though. A standard Aberdeenshire accent is totally different from a Glaswegian accent, and so on. That's why the specific accents should be specified. "Irish accent" and "Scottish accent" are far too broad of a criteria, and "British accent" therefore serves little purpose.

    I smoked for 25 years and I quit two years ago. Before I quit, I was up to two packs a day. Walking up a flight of stairs made me feel winded. My heart rate would speed up just getting up out of bed to go take a piss. Man, it was difficult but I was determined to find a way to beat it. And god I feel a million times better now. Being able to breathe clearly is the most wonderful thing.

      I mean it depends on the region you’re talking about. These people are city folk, and you can understand them better.
      On the west coast, the farmers and communities there have a rather impenetrable brogue to understand. And they always have. That’s where my lot were from. So tricky to understand, no one would get anywhere if they tried.
