    Secondary smoking kills people too so i disagree with you on this one Brumerican and feel the wording saving lives is justified

     

    People who die from secondary smoke were going to die regardless. (A lot of people are killed by other drivers every single day so should we ban cars ?)

    Their lives are unsaveable .  The only life variables that can be altered are quality and length . You can't SAVE a life as it is intrinsically joined to death.

    You can shorten it , lengthen it , improve or worsen the quality of it but you can't save the logically unsaveable.

    My only issue really is with the manipulative wording. It's deliberately provocative and simply impossible.

    So do you not agree that a non smoker would generally live longer than a smoker would? Yes we are all going to die but the probability of living longer and healthier with less health issues is if you are a non smoker

    I only disagree on the word "save" being used instead of "extended."

    "Saving lives" is a needlesly charged phrase and ultimately a pointless lie.    " Living a healthier/longer  life " has far less shock value I guess.

    I would argue that reducing the ability to smoke (or removing it completely) may well "save" many lives. 

    It will probably prolong them absolutely but I just wanted to nip the "saves lives" notion in the bud.  You can live as clean as you like but you will die 

    ( I believe infinity is quite a long time so I imagine we will all be back playing new roles anyway)

    Whats impossible saving lives by cutting down on the amount of smokers or the way in which they plan to do this?

    You can't save lives is my point .

    You are definitely going to die whether you smoke or not . If you ban everything that kills then is it even a life of freedom ?

    Saving lives

    Unless you live amongst Highlanders this is impossible .

    You can prolong them I guess but who the hell wants to do that .

    I feel like I have three good RBs. I keep going to add my third to the starting roster every week and then thinking "oh shit, that's right"

    I drafted as if we we had 3 RB's slot so Im gutted to be honest  .  There is NOTHING wrong with Yahpoo standard scoring and roster formations . I do agree with smaller benches as we have a larger league .  The games in standard usually finish way closer than our league.

    It doesn't make our league anymore "skillfull" in the slightest tbh. Fewer options equals fewer decisions so it's actually less skillfull .
