Worse than smoking

[quote=shinussiel]Smoking is bad for you. Alot of people do it and alot of people don't like it. People who do it have a choice to continue to do it or try and stop. That is their choice. Until it is illegal you shouldn't look at anyone differently just because they smoke. If they are purposely harming someone with second hand smoke then that is different and deserves to be looked down upon. If you don't like smoking then don't hang near a smoker. It is a problem and I think that people need to accept that it is part of our society and it will continue to be until major change is undertaken. Until then I think it shouldn't be talked about on a discussion page. If you really feel strongly about it then by all means get out and be heard. But getting into arguments on the internet isn't getting you anywhere and is a waste of time.[/quote]

[quote=Samoh]I think the main point that I was trying to put across (clearly fucking terribly) is that I completely understand the consequences of smoking (because it's plastered everywhere) and I smoke because I want to. I don't smoke around other non-smokers ever, unless I know for a fact that they don't care, and if I knew one of my Asthmatic friends was around me I wouldn't even consider smoking. As B-Wong said way earlier, we are completely aware of the consequences, you don't need to treat me like a potato and tell me how my lung is going to explode and my legs are going to fall off.[/quote]

[quote=Yukimaru]Smokin' is something u aint need, if i smell to much of this goddamn dirty smoke(i rly hate that smell) it's my right that that person either A: Stops smoking B: Does it somewhere else or C: get's problems with the law i was so mad at my Mother the 2 day's ago when she phoned like the whole evening and forgot to smoke at the balcony and the whole flat smelled after this...after i left my room i was like *COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH* "FFS WHAT IS THIS GODDAMN SHIT?" *uses Air Refresher over 30 times*[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=PsiGuard] The majority of the "good feeling" that smoking gives comes from fulfilling a nicotine addiction. Why pay to get an addiction, then pay even more to satisfy it?[/quote] True, I probably wouldn't smoke even if it didn't have health consequences. Because I have tried it and it just wasn't enjoyable to me. [quote]If it had no health consequences, no addictive substances and somehow was still magically enjoyable, I'd consider it from time to time. That would be fine.[/quote] That would be something, now wouldn't it? :)[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=jhoijhoi] You may think that that's a rare case, but I think it's more common than you think.[/quote] No. It is a rare case. It would be stupid to think that it isn't. The problem is still not the cigarettes, it's the person in question. It's him caring more about himself than his children.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=B-Wong] Let me just introduce you to a magical leaf called marijuana[/quote] I've been curious about that. Tried it once, but I mostly coughed. Might try it again some time, cuz it seems better than smoking in just about every way. (except for moniez, it's prolly expensive) [quote]It's not smoking that impels them to do so. They have an addiction, yes that does spur it, but what really makes people fucking retarded in situations like these is that they don't have any sense of judgement whatsoever.[/quote] Precisely.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=shinussiel] If they are purposely harming someone with second hand smoke then that is different and deserves to be looked down upon.[/quote] Lawl, he thinks that second hand smoking is dangerous XD There's like a 100 times bigger chance you'll die in traffic, every day.[/quote]

[quote=Xiron]Oh have I mentioned that it's awesome when I come to school I gotta walk through the "smokers-area" cause it's infront of the entrance. Or let's say I gotta walk by. Holy shit I feel like I gotta puke every time I walk along this shit. You ever thought that ppl just dont like that fucking annoying stink after some1 took a smoke? It's not like they smoke and it's over. You smell that smoke-shit all the time. Everytime they talk to you or you breath when they're around. Dont see this as an offend, btw :) I still dont like smokers this much, even if ma bro and some of ma friends're smokn ^.^[/quote]

[quote=Samoh]Do your friends not own deodorant?[/quote]

[quote=Canoas][quote=Samoh] I wouldn't want to be friends with cunts that sit so high on the tip of there penis that they wouldn't want to hang around with me because I suck Death sticks, I don't smoke inside only outside, and if they want to stand away from me whilst I enjoy my delicious cigarette they can, they can stand out of the stream of air, or they can just stand plain far away from me, or just nowhere near me if they're that paranoid. I don't care if people don't want to have anything to do with me smoking, but what I have a problem with is people who won't have anything to do with me when I'm not smoking. Seriously, very few of my friends smoke, but they don't give a shit if I do, most of them just speak to the other none smokers inside or what have you whilst us smokers go outside and have a fag. So if you're like this, and anyone else, please remind me each time I try to spark conversation with you and I'll make sure to leave promptly. <3 [/quote] So you have no reason to smoke at all? That just makes you an idiot. I drink and smoke socially, be it shisha, tobacco or pot. And I don't mind people who do it (obviously). However, smoking for no reason is stupid. You don't look cool at all. Do you know what that actually makes you look like? An idiot. I know people who started smoking due to being stressed (work + college at the same time) and I'm fine with that, but if you're stupid to the point of doing it for absolutely no reason then I will tell you you're stupid, because you are. It's the same thing as drinking alone. Drinking with other people is fun even if you end up blacking out, but if you drink when you're alone do you know what that makes you? An alcoholic.[/quote]
