Yes I smoke.. So I'm the devil now?

[White_Lama]

People that smoke in any area where other non-smoking people are and therebuy polluting their lungs, they are true devils.

Smoking should be banned.

Smoking is unattractive. It's like conforming to a fad which sickens a vocal majority.

If the opinions of others bothers you so much, then it seems to me that you started smoking out of peer pressure/social influence. Now that your current environment rejects smokers, this seems like a good time to quit.

I smoke cigars. I have never heard anyone hatin on us, but I hear people all the time complaining about dirty cancer-stick tabbers! Not sure why no-one comments on cigar smokers though...?

I detest smoking to the highest degree. What it does to peoples health, the smell, people thinking its cool, the obnoxious fumes. I cant stand it at all not even the linger of it. If you lit up next to me and I had no way to move and asked you to not and you still did.....let me just say, we would have a problem. One I would fix fast most definitely.

But why would he have to not smoke next to you? You know YOU could move, you know if he not in q non-smoking zone he has every right to smoke , i find non-smokers kinda selfish . Then again if you were at a certain spot first then probably you could ask if he could not , VERY politely . I once was waiting for the bus , outside , in the winter , in canada ( it was freezing but i didn't want to bother anyone ) and this lady came and stood next to me , and asked me if i could move because she didn't like cigarette smoke . I returned and told her to not to stand next to me because i was here first , she got mad , i lol'd . Selfish woman .

I don't like smokers because I have bad asthma and inhaling smoke, even in small amounts, can cause an asthma attack, so just walking by someone smoking can cause me to go into a coughing fit.

 

[Dogstile]

it just tasted like smoke.

It really does depend on what you smoke. In my short experience with smoking (Hey, can't hate it unless you've tried it right?) the cheap ones taste like complete ass and the one's he's smoking (marlboro is actually more expensive if I recall) are better made so of course the taste will change

OP: I don't understand the mentality either. Excuse me sir, yes you, the one who's giving me a dirty look for smoking and/or drinking. You think I have the problem? I'm not the one who's self esteem is so far down in the gutter I have to get on a high horse to feel better.

And that is my response to anyone who thinks i'm scum because when I go out for a drink every couple of weeks i'll also have a smoke.

The only one being selfish is you. You were the one defiling the air with your stench, not her. That's exactly why people hate smokers, they stink and as the poster above me pointed out, some people cannot deal with the smoke, me included.

If you want to smoke, do so in private, not on the walkways or at a busstop.

It's just like drinking. If you want to get drunk, do so in private.

Maybe because your a don or something? /trololol

Sorry, watched a lil too many gangster films with the don + cigar image. xD

What the heck is this? I can't see page 3 in the pages tab but it definitely exists.. another glitch? >.<

EDIT: Ok don't bother. I see it now zzzzzz.

I think you're the selfish one at least in your example, you should considerer the harm your smoking does to others more. Obviously if you are very far from anyone and someone comes next to you just to mock your smoking then yes they are being moron.

But in your example you were smoking in a public bus stop. In a place that people actually have to come if they are moving by bus.

So smokers aren't even allowed to smoke outside anymore? Hell, most bus stops don't even have seats anymore, smokers are just standing there. She could have quite easily stood about five steps away and not had to smell the smoke. That's usually the case down here.

Cigs have this eloquent taste, and because of this I smoke if I'm doing nothing just to remove my boredom (Nothing like a good ole Marlboro to liven up my day).

What does eloquent taste like? Is it a bit like pretentiousness? My cigarettes just taste like chemicals and defeat.

Quoted for awesomeness. Funniest thing I've read on here in a long time.

OT: Yeah, I would probably judge you poorly because you are a smoker. And I'm sorry about that. Yes, I know it is a stereoptype and not all smokers are inconsiderate arseholes, but unfortunately for you the club you have joined is a very visibly and identifiable club, and it does have a lot of dicks in it who feel that my wish to not breathe in their exhaled smoke is entirely unreasonable. And what is with the cigarette butts everywhere? Every smoker claims it is not them but there are millions and millions of cigarette butts inconsiderately strewn across city streets, parks and glaciers (true story: I followed a smoker going for a walk in a national park in New Zealand in one of the most beautiful places in the world where she tossed her cigarette butt into a fucking glacier). So many rants to be had about smokers blowing smoke in my face, of being burnt by lit cigarettes in crowded spaces, or crammed in next to one of those particularly smelly individuals on a train, etc etc. I know these people are not you, but after so many bad experiences with smokers, it is hard not to stereotype, and I am sorry about that because that is not reasonable behaviour.

You're not the devil OP, but you probably smell like shit.

 

[Vault Citizen]

I've grown up around a brother and a sister who have smoked for as long aa I can remember so smoking in most cases doesn't bother me, my ex smoked and yes kissing her did sadly taste slightly worse when she was smoking but its not like it stopped me.

Smoking does have a negative effect on your health and finances but they are your health and [/B] your finances, as long as you don't negatively impact the heath of others I have no objection.

The only exception to this outlook is I tell my fiancee not to smoke, yes I know its her right to smoke if she so chose but I don't want her to end up with some serious smoking illness so I can live with a bit of dickishness on my part.

Please tell me , whos air is it ? Non smokers Act like the air belongs to you .let's take it a step further shall we , if a person that just plain stinks stands next to you let's tell them to stand somewhere else . And god forbid someone passwind ( read: fart ) anywhere in public. This is the main problem i have , you have the right to not smoke and dislike the smell , but you have no right to tell a person what to do and where to do it in a public place , where no laws are being broken. Instead moving , or in my example i had put in my previous post no standing next to me , you prefer to confront the smoker .

(true story: I followed a smoker going for a walk in a national park in New Zealand in one of the most beautiful places in the world where she tossed her cigarette butt into a fucking glacier)

A glacier. I lol'ed at this.. xD

Hmmm anyway aren't cigs illegal in national parks due to wildfire risks or something? Just a thought, I'm in no way experienced with NZ law.

Off topic: You followed the woman? You stalking her or something? /trollface

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

No and no one really gives a shit I mean why would you bring this question to a Gaming forum of all places. I don't what you choose to stick in your mouth and suck on. Just don't smoke around people in confined places or smoke in someones face and any normal person won't care but we can't do anything about the others and this thread will do nothing to help your situation.

Also as long as you just don't fuck the ends on the ground and put them in a bin I don't care.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Someone on page one mentioned the smell of smoke. Depending on the type of smoke you smoke the scent can be anywhere from clove to straight-up smoke but honestly I prefer the smell of cig-smoke to say, the smell of unwashed-stocker (ie: my fellow employees who smell about the same as people who attend Emenim concerts (those people also smell far worse than smokers by the way)).

I actually feel really bad for smokers. It seems like every day a smoker's right to smoke is being sliced a little bit thinner. I don't smoke personally but when I hit the 'don't-give-a-fuck' age I'm probably going to invest in some cigars and/or pipes (both of which are classy as shit). I mainly sympathize with you smokers because once the smoking community has been hung out to dry people like me who indulge on trans-fats, caffeine and, fast food will get the full focus from health-nazis.

Oh, but to answer your question no, you're not the devil.

 

[Imperium9990]

but you have no right to tell a person what to do and where to do it in a public place

Yes they do. Sure you don't have to listen, but they do have the right to call you out on it.

Usually when I have to deal with this, they're standing upwind and I have to walk a good length to get out of the way, to the point where I look like a dumbass cause I have to move all the way around to avoid this one person smoking or just stand there and take it cause otherwise I'd be a wuss or something.

Better yet, they're smoking while they're walking along, and I'd be like, okay, maybe I could run ahead of you, or even passively walk faster, but meanwhile it's like, who's this idiot trying to look like he's not walking faster to avoid it.

It's like, sure go ahead but don't be totally oblivious to the wind if you're gonna poop in it.

And I'm not gonna outright tell everybody I'm allergic to smoke, what is that, whining, can't have that either.

let's do the math here, does it take longer for one guy to stand out of the way, or for everybody to move over, obviously we all gotta pack up and hustle, no argument there
