[QUOTE=Bliblixe;40002301][Insert stupid comment about how every smoker does it to seem cool and they're stoopid and they should stop doing whatever they want] This is alarming that more youngs start smoking, but this is really annoying as a respectful smoker who doesn't blow smoke on anyone's face and smokes a few daily (a pack lasts me 3 to 4 days) to be treated as some sort of subhuman retard. Let me and every smoker do whatever we want with our bodies, as long as we're not being jerks about it. Never have I seen anyone telling their friends "you should totally smoke you'll look cool" nor do I see smokers smoking next to non smokers on purpose. The few that do aren't monsters, just ask them if they can back off a bit and they'll most likely do it.[/QUOTE] You're still poisoning yourself and the people around you, why should we respect that?

I went on a roadtrip to oklahoma with my dad, sister, and her boyfriend. Well, they all smoke, i don't. My eyes fucking [I]burned[/I] the whole way there and I had constant headaches for the entire 18 hour journey. Its fucking gross, kids doing it young is even worse than adults doing it because they aren't done growing yet and that shit'll screw with your growth. You won't smoke in my car, you won't smoke in my house, and I will not go to the store and buy you more smokes.You wanna kill yourself, do it on your own time on your own property on your own dollar.

There are several reasons people like smoking that are not necessarily being cool or doing it for the hell of it. I for one enjoy the taste of tobbaco and like a guy who loves wine, I can make a significant difference between different brands of tobbaco. It indeeds relaxes to just sit there doing nothing and smoke a cigarette, it helps cope with stress (it is arguable, but no smoker or ex-smoker will deny that) and you're usually more forthcoming with people when you're smoking. I can't even count the amount of people I met and still hang out with because I asked for a lighter or just started chatting with on a cigarette break. It also helps with boredom related issues. When you've got nothing to do but wait or go to some place, the gesture you do by smoking and the act of inhaling itself just keeps you busy and it feels like time goes faster or something. That's why it's so hard to understand why people like it being a smoker, you have to become one to understand. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating smoking, it kills people, it fucks people's lungs and when you're a jerk, it annoys people. Just helping non-smokers understand why smokers... well, enjoy it despite the huge risks.

I saw 4 kids smoking cigarettes while unlocking my bike today, they were both extremely loud and acted like pricks who didn't understand the meaning of personal space. Asked them to move and all I got was from the main one who was busy puffing away "u wot, fuk off". Felt like slamming the little shit.

[QUOTE=asteroidrules;40002660]You're still poisoning yourself and the people around you, why should we respect that?[/QUOTE] I'm poisoning myself and make sure I'm not poisoning people around me, like most smokers. I'm not asking for you to suddenly be "yay cigarettes are great!", just asking for people to give us a break, as long as we're not messing with your health, we should be free to fuck ours.

Now that it's banned in most public places, at worst you'll catch a bit of the smell and be annoyed by it. Just ask the smoker to back off a bit and he'll do so, if he's a dick, just move 2 feet away, how hard can it be.

smoking is fine as long as it's green stuff

[QUOTE=Cats meow;40001918]I wouldn't say that this story is wonderful. Even if you smoke while your young it doesn't mean giving up when you're older will magically stop any health problems.[/QUOTE] As far as I know, a smoker's health is more or less regenerated after 20 years of being clean. The lungs, for example.

Its because smoking is cool

More than half of my high school smokes. It's a growing trend,and it frankly scares me. We're supposed to be the best high school in the country,but more than half of the people here got trough their parents' friends and shit.

You won't stop a trend with a health warning.. Shisha smoking has become a massive trend and there are no warning labels there yet it's a LOT worse for you than smoking a cigarette.

I started smoking 3 years ago because it helped me out with my great deal of anxiety I get from everything. But I do regret it, as I didn't really realize how big of a trap the addiction is.

[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;40002913]That doesn't justify their actions, though. Smoking is undoubtedly a dumb decision.[/QUOTE] unhealthy, sure. dumb, very debatable. the very notion of a dumb decision is pretty one sided, as it's truly up to a single individual to decide.
