Vegans, if you smoke, do you consider that the harvesting of tobacco?!
Answers: could result in the death of many field animals and insects? Tobacco worms are crushed when harvesting tobacco. So outside of it being unhealthy should vegans smoke, when it causes untold damage to the environment and to the habitats of many animals?
Their is no such thing as a vegan that smokes. Tobacco has been tested on animals.
u shuldnt smoke neway. its bad for u
learn to be happey!
:)
Only the mature tobacco leaves are harvested. The rest of the plant keeps growing. So there is no digging or tilling involved except for once every year or two.
It's impossible to not hurt *anything*.
But being Vegan reduces suffering A LOT.
I personally don't know any other vegetarians/vegans that smoke or use tobacco products. I really doubt that there are a lot of vegetarians/vegans that do. If a person is health conscious enough to be a vegan, why would they put something as unhealthy as tobacco into their body? It just doesn't fit into the equation.
Everyone should feel bad about smoking. No one should smoke or eat meat!
Most grain crushed plant-y things have what my friend so delightfully calls the "bug-percentile"(the percentage of the food which is bug), which he natters on about a lot. But if you eat meat, eggs and milk, you'll be eating the bugs as well, so at least you're not doing both. Plus it's impossible not to eat any living thing, when you consider the amount of teeeny tiny microscopic darlings there are floating and scuttling around. It's a shame :(
I don't know any vegans who smoke, although I used to know just one.
But for those of you worried about animals killed for the harvesting of grain, you should be vegetarian because it takes 5 to 15 pounds of grain to produce a pound of meat. And you're eating that grain, too. No matter how you slice it, no pun intended, eating meat causes far more death than being vegetarian.
