I disagree. They get "told" that it causes cancer and this and that, but they ALL have the attitude that "they are unique and it wont happen to them just like it didnt happen to their buddy/cousin/brother"....
Im not saying you can't have your vices,what i am saying isthat even if its only an "occasional" recreational habit, if you start using tobacco under the age of 18 then by the time your 30/40 your already going to start developing long term problems.

We all have our vices. Kids are well aware of the dangers of tobacoo (and alcohol and drugs for that matter). Beating them over the head with the same old lines won't solve anything.

80% of your school needs to learn what tobacco can do to your gums, teeth, throat, tongue and every other body organ.

My point was, everyone knows the dangers involved. That's no secret. It is up to the individual person to make that choice for themselves. What I have a problem with is organizations that use scare tactics or the "shock factor" to try and keep people away from tobacco. Kinda like when they have a mother who's son was killed by a drunk driver speak at a high school right before prom. Also those Truth* commercials. I hate those things. They should simply explain the good AND bad benefits of tobacco (or alcohol) to students so they can realize for themselves that the good does not outweigh the bad and it is simply not worth it.
Also, chicks don't like guys who dip or smoke

And that is why America is great

i wont lie to you; ive had a few pinches in my life (just to try it)and know a lot of people who do it constantly and i really dont get how people can get addicted to it. its pretty discusting, yeah you get a "buzz", but i dont thing the buzz is worth the nastieness of it. i think everyone should try dip and smoke once becasue i think that when you try it and realize how discusting it is the first time, you wont try it again.

And your right Evan, everyone should try it once and make the decision on their own. The same arguments can be made about alcohol or marijuana. As long as you are mature enough to understand your decision, but thats another topic.

to tell you guys the truth i dip every once and a while but the decition i made was to not make it anyone elses business.. and for most part do it while i am alone or with a small amount of people that dont care or judge.. i mean i dont push it on people alot of times i dont even ask if they want some.. that doesnt make me a bad person its just a thing that could possibly be harmful to my body..
