Smoking

It's been six years since the ban on cigarettes in bars and restaurants. While we all have our opinions on the subject, there is one group hoping for a compromise.

WTF is wrong with people? This is absolutely outrageous and heartbreaking. A video post put up on Facebook shows a man forcing a young child to smoke and drink alcohol.

The first time I watched this video I was pretty sure the woman smoking was Chris Monroe. I would not put it past Chrissy to smoke on a plane, he has been busted smoking in the radio station bathroom several times. This smoking on a plane bitch is a perfect match for Chris "black lung" Monroe.

New York City banned giant soft drinks last year and soon you must be at least 21-years-old to legally purchase cigarettes. Not kidding.

Most of us did not know her name, it was Terrie Hall. But I am guessing you saw the anti-smoking commercials she was featured in. Hall had oral throat cancer after many years of smoking. Over the summer cancer had spread to her brain.

A Washington man is accused of allegedly pulling a gun on a pregnant woman because she was smoking. The Daily Mail is reporting that Justin Palmer, 24, stopped his pick up truck when he saw an unidentified pregnant woman smoking a cigarette on a sidewalk.

Smoking is banned in a lot of places, since people don’t want to breathe in the fumes. But to fire someone from their job for smelling like smoke seems a bit excessive, no? Turns out it’s a loaded argument.

You can say a lot of things about Flint, but you can't say it's not interesting.  Check out the details of a Flint man who assaulted his mother after a dispute over cigarettes.

Since nicotine is an appetite suppressant and a stimulant, a fear of weight gain is one reason many smokers cite for refusing to quit. And a new report stating ex-smokers pack on more pounds than previously thought probably won’t help matters any — but all may not be as it seems.

Taking a break from class to go smoke a cigarette will soon be a thing of the past at Mott Community College, thanks to a smoking ban soon to be put in place. I'm sure Chris Monroe will be protesting.

While surveys consistently show that more than 3 out of 4 smokers would like to quit, only about 10 percent of those who try each year are successful. Fortunately, new studies show one way to raise those numbers is to treat smoking as a chronic disease — like high blood pressure — for which long-term treatment is offered.

While finding information for you to use while enjoying some time in Amsterdam -- if you win Crop-tober -- we stumbled across some weird looking smoking devices.
