Can vegans smoke ciggarets? ?

is there a chemical in them that prevents them from smoking them ethicly If you're concerned about the ethics of killing animals, then I think you should also be concerned about the ethics of killing humans. The meat industry profits from cruelty to animals; the tobacco industry profits from cruelty to humans. The tobacco industry knowingly sells millions of people a product that will likely kill them. If you're worried about ethics, don't smoke, and stop anyone you know and care about from smoking.

blah blah blah.......it has no meat....so you can......

No, there are no animal products... However, if you're a vegan and concerned about the lives of animals, wouldn't you be concerned with your own life as well?

American Spirit cigarettes are vegan - no additives, no animal testing. That doesn't mean they're good for you, however.

Tobacco companies test on animals. Since smoking is a luxury, not a necessity, you'd needlessly be contributing to that practice.

Lung and throat cancer research involves animal testing.

You are an animal. Damaging your own health is being unethical towards your future self.

It depends on what you classify as vegan and how you feel about animals.
Back when they were still working on proving cigarettes are bad, nicotine, etc. They tested the effects of nicotine on rabbits and other animals.
Over all though, if you're vegan, you can smoke if you want. Being vegan has little effect on your lungs as much as other parts of your body, so be warned, don't expect lung cancer to treat you any more lightly than the next person.

you shouldn't smoke...very bad for you

i dont think so BUT DONT SMOKE its so bad for you if u smoke ur killing ur self and maybe animals as well !!!!!!!!!!

Fair question for most of us agree we rarely came across with any veg*n drug addicts, alcoholics, genocides and rapists! But the reason is not well defined. Any validation or statistics? Generally we should agree that people opt veg*nism as a lifestyle package or fashionable nowadays. It attributed to a wholesome ethics to intellectual people, and moral issues to most vegans activists especially, made veganism to become more controversial than practicable. But i think they work more towards the "root", and less understandable by the ordinary persons like us.

Smoking
--------------------------------------...
Studies shown vegetarians to have lower incidence of lung cancer. This can be largely attributed to vegetarians by statistics tending to be non-smokers.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 70, No. 3, 516S-524S, September 1999 : Smoking rates varied between studies, but in all studies the proportion of smokers was LOWER among the vegetarians than the nonvegetarians. In all studies for which data were available, vegetarians had a lower mean body mass index, a lower percentage of vegetarians were current alcohol users, and a consistently higher percentage of vegetarians were high exercisers. Variations in level of education between the 2 groups were small and inconsistent.

What Olivia C said word of word.

The poisons in cigarettes are pure vegetable, so you can smoke them in confidence. And your lung cancer will be purely vegetarian.
