Firstly ala LW..I shall make a disclaimer here ..in no way am i condoning suicide or the means of doing so. What I wish to provoke here is a discussion on the paradoxes of society. Why we accept one behavior and yet at the same time condemn another. When both really are the same thing.
It's all about the timing.
If you wanna die really quickly then slit your wrists. This is considered something as a huge immoral act, the act of taking your own life. You feel depressed want to end it all and you think that the quickest way is to just do it. Jump off a building. Gas yourself.
Whatever way your imagination can conquer up. To do it this way is to commit a sin against yourself and to humanity. You'll be considered as mentally instable, hell if it doesnt work you will be commited for therapy. In some countries it is even against the law.
If you want to do it slowly, so that no one will notice, so that it isnt considered so much suicide, then smoke.
Buy a packet of cigarettes a day smoke them for the next twenty or so years without fail, and you will die, a painful choking death. It wont be seen as commiting the act of suicide, because of the length of time it takes to destroy your lungs and it is all legal!
Wanna commit suicide? Wanna do it legally and assisted?
Then smoke.
Does this all make sense to you?
