It really irks me when people bitch about me smoking cigs. Yes, I know the consequence, now please shut up and let me smoke in peace

I happen to think it's one of the worst smells on the planet. It's utterly revolting to me.
There's a reason for it though. I was a smoker until I was a young adult, against my will. I've been suffering the effects of second hand smoking even before I was born thanks to a very stupid, selfish family. My mother and step-father, my father and step-mother, and my grandfather all smoked in doors with no consideration for us children (my siblings as well). My mother smoked during her entire pregnancy with myself and my siblings. My father used to smoke in the car with the windows up, and when I complained about it he yelled at me and continued doing it. I have permanent health issues as a result, even though I've been out of their houses and away from cigarettes for many years. Teachers at school, especially my gym teacher, used to give me a hard time because they thought I smoked, I reeked of cigarettes all the time.
Now when I have that friend I mentioned earlier over, I can totally understand why. It is an overwhelmingly strong scent and it triggers my allergies and asthma. My brother-in-law also smokes and I actually had such a bad attack just being near him in the theatre once that I had to get up and leave, get a refund for the film, get some fresh air and do something else until the movie was over. These attacks kept happening and I couldn't figure it out until one day it dawned on my that they only happen when I'm near smokers.
My grandfather died from lung cancer with something like 15% of his lung capacity left. He couldn't walk 15 feet without having to rest. He basically became a baby, confined to his bed in the fetal position, unable to care for himself. Cigarettes smell like death. So anyone in this thread who thinks I'm exaggerating or being unreasonable, I hope you remember that when you're shitting your bed because you can't get enough oxygen in your lungs to make it to the washroom.[/QUOTE]
You don't get those "15 years off life, lung cancer " super-negative side effects unless you smoke packs a day for years straight. If something triggers your asthma and allergies, I believe your body realizes that and does shit to get you away from it. My sister used to take her RA meds via syringe, she had no problem with sticking needles in her, but the drug made her feel extremely nauseous and crap.
Now her body makes her feel nauseous at the sight, or even the thought of a needle. Sorry to hear about your asshole family though.

While we're on the subject of cigarettes, does anyone know what would happen if a cop pulled up on me smoking a cigarette at the age of 15 in Canada? Never quite thought of this.
He wouldn't say anything if you were in England. You have to be 18 to buy them, not to smoke them. Whether you do or you do not is down to your parents at that age.
(alcohol is obviously different because it's illegal here for anyone to drink on the street)

I enjoy swimming but I'm not going to do it in a river of toxic sludge.

we get it, you don't like cigarettes, you can shut up now.

well hey, if kramer did it...
[QUOTE=GodKing;33345759]I enjoy swimming but I'm not going to do it in a river of toxic sludge.[/QUOTE]
Well that's because you have perfectly good swimming pools to swim in. All we have is toxic sludge. I'm sure if there were safe cigarettes people would smoke those. But there isn't. So we smoke the cancer. Quit preaching

Nicotine is still carcinogenic, and e-cigs give you no buzz, but they can make cravings go away for a little bit
[QUOTE=Stormcharger;33279410]Don't fucking tell her to stop smoking cigarettes, its her choice!
And dont fucking replace tobacco with other stuff. If she really is perfect for you then you shouldnt give a fuck if she smokes or not.[/QUOTE]
What, "you aren't allowed to think someone shouldn't do something that is harmful to you"!
You can think someone shouldn't do something but you shouldn't tell them to stop all the time.

Stop trying to help people, it doesn't affect you and just ends up wasting your time and emotions.
[QUOTE=Disasterpieces;33342109][B]What gives you the right to control other peoples decisions to benefit yourself.[/B] I bet that girl could find someone else who could accept her flaws (even though i wouldn't call it a flaw, you do). Get over yourself[/QUOTE]
Dude, everyone does that all the time
[QUOTE=kaskade700;33358229]Dude, everyone does that all the time[/QUOTE]
that still doesn't make it okay.
[QUOTE=/B/rother;33358452]that still doesn't make it okay.[/QUOTE]
Okay is a lose term, I personally can't see a problem in this particular scenario.
If she wants to stop smoking eventually, she may even be open to your idea. The worst part about your plan is doing all this without her knowledge or consent. It is never a good idea to base a relationship on deceit.
I do however find the idea OP has about replacing tobacco with weed quite hilariously retarded.
1: Who the fuck has a cigarette stash
2:Who the fuck can't taste the difference between tobacco and weed
3:Jesus fuck I would be pissed if some creep replaced my morning cigarette before something important with weed.

it's probably because op has never smoked cigarettes nor weed.
quite probable.

What? That was serious. There are alternatives, you guys just don't want to use them.

When you have a job and have the money and weed within a 5min walk from your flat you're going to start giving a fuck about weed.
I prioritise my morning cig over all else when I wake up.
[editline]20th November 2011[/editline]
Even taking a piss
[editline]20th November 2011[/editline]
though sometime i have to combine the two
[editline]20th November 2011[/editline]
Which sucks because I do my best not to smoke inside

Wow, those cig companies got you by the balls.. almost literally.
[QUOTE=GodKing;33351652][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_cigarette[/url][/QUOTE]
I've smoked those before. If you can call it smoking. They don't do it for me.
Most people with e-cigarettes still smoke regular cigarettes as well from what I've seen
ecigs blow

you mean people arent willing to use a substitute that doesnt give them a good enough/same effect? shocking.

I didn't say it was the same, but it IS an alternative. It's not as if there's NOTHING out there.
