Well, that's like saying people know that bungee jumping could kill them, but doing it anyway is suicide.

I know the risks and I still do it, but I wouldn't consider it suicide.

So then should walking around outside in the sun without sunscreen be considered suicide also? Or regularly eating McDonald's?

It depends how you look at it. You could say that because it says 'smoking kills' on the side of cigarette packets, and smoking is a voluntary thing, then yes; perhaps it could be classed as suicide.

But that is a little bit farfetched though. Plus all the smokers on here will obviously say no.

marijuana has no link to lung cancer and is not carcinogenic, so no, not suicide.

I guess you could look at it as committing suicide over a period of years.

No, it doesn't count as suicide, because the intention is not to kill yourself.  That's simply a possible effect of the harmful behaviour.

Smoking is dangerous but not suicidal. This is actually one of the only places where christianity, and Islam really differ on an issue. According to the rules of Christianity doing something extremely risky (aka suicidal) isn't the same as actuall suicide so it won't send you to hell, but isn't considered smart either.

According to my understanding of the rules of Islam, harming your body is a sin. So smoking hypothetically is a sin in Islam, but most muslims ignore this.

its not suicide. i look at it as a form of "self murder" All those truth commercials make it look like suicide, but smoking does not guarantee any illness, just increases the risk by a lot.

I can't stand smokers. It's not suicide, but I have no frigging clue why anyone would want to stick that **** in their mouths.

Oh wait, now I remember. Teenagers just love to be with the in crowd. So much so they willfully put their lives and health at tremendous risk to do so. God I hate teens.

So...are non-smokers immortal or something, then? I'm pretty sure that everyone will die eventually, regardless of whether or not they smoke.

I quit smoking about six months ago. Sometimes I fondly look back and miss old nicotine, such a relaxing and stress-free thing cigarettes where.......but over time i noticed how much they effected my health, i eventualy got itchy lungs and a cough and I could feel my heart beating at night.. so i quit. everything returned to normal but i still miss them sometimes... :)

Isn't living basically committing suicide by the same logic?  Every minute we survive is a minute less that we have until we die.  Just by being we're driving ourselves to our inevitable doom.

I suppose the same could be said about anything really, i mean eating McDonald's is sorta like suicide is it not? your clogging arteries and slowing your metabolism. i bet you if we did a study and one man smoked two cigarettes each day and maintained a decently balanced diet of his life while another man ate two McDonald's cheese burgers everyday of his life the burger guy would die first.

You'd think people would pay attention to the stickers by now After several years of them being there I don't understand why people still want to smoke. There are zero benefits compared to dozens of major risks. I personally can't wait until the public smoking ban is introduced next year, I don't care about other peoples lives, but I care about mine

I feel it theoretically is, but not intentional suicide.  More or less, "poisoning" oneself without knowing it.

The most common carcinoma in men is Bronchial carcinoma while it is second most carcinoma in women.
Reason: Environmental pollution. Smoking not only is injurious for smoker but also for others as well.

Considering its pretty much garunteed that it will cause health problems later on, most of which cause an early grave, yes Id say it is suicide.
