So long as you don't smoke where your not supposed to (like inside a hospital) and you're not rude about it, I'm fine with it. I will say that it's not a very healthy thing to do though and there are better ways to kill boredom.
Yes I smoke.. So I'm the devil now?

Thank you for this history lesson, but do you realize that I was joking, or are you the type who feels the need to shit on other people's jokes over insignificant mistakes?chadachada123 said:
Something that I find interesting is that if you see someone smoking a cigarette, most people think "what an idiot, they're going to give themselves cancer" or something along those lines, but when you see someone smoking a pipe, a typical response is closer to "what an utter legend". It has the same consequences, but for some reason, smoking a pipe is just much more awesome.
Yeah, this.lacktheknack said:
What pisses me off is the inconsiderate people who are all 'Blabla deal with it it doesn't affect you at all', when every single fucking time I walk past someone smoking in the street I double over coughing my lungs out, and have to reach for my asthma pump, while the smoker in question gives me a dirty look for being inconvenienced by their fucking selfishness.
And to all the people saying 'deal with it, it's a public space', what the hell are you talking about?! If by 'public' you mean 'shared', then what right do you have to make me ill just so you get your nicotine kick? Do it on your own time, in your own space, but don't ruin my poor, asthmatic lungs because you can't wait for your daily dose of cancer.
EDIT: Just for clarification, if you're gonna smoke while alone then knock yourself out, but just be damn considerate when you're walking around town! If you do this then fine, but if you don't...
Well, you can fully expect a scathing glare, and a tut - a fucking tut - if you have me projecting my innards all over the pavement.
I don't smoke myself (and I don't mean that in the way where I wrap myself in paper, light my hair on fire and suck on my feet), but to be honest, I kinda like the smell of cigars and pipes. They smell so... homely. Which is odd, since neither of my parents smoke. Cigarettes smell like rubbish though. I don't really mind being around smokers either, they're often some of the nicer chaps I know. So not a single bad word about smokers from me.

Moderation is the key 4 cigarettes a day probably would do much harm. Probably stain your teeth over time, but they make stuff for that now.
Been working in a hospital for 3.5 years it's usually the pack or more a day people that end up with lung problems and even then they're from the older no filer generation.
Are your lungs and sinuses that fucking sensible to cigarette smoke? Even when I was a nonsmoker I didn't have as much trouble with cigarette smoke as some of the people in this thread have. Honestly though, I'm fine with smoking being banned in public as long as the government builds smoking designated areas. Smokers also pay taxes and in fact pay way more taxes than non smokers so we should at the very least be given a compromise.
Also, no smoking in bars? Really? Are you folk going to start telling people what to do with their private property now? It's no different than banning smoking in your own goddamn house.

"sure, i enjoy cocaine weekly, but then these arrogant 'morality police' offend me by comparing me to convict, boo-hoo"
cry me a river, smelly. you're helping unjust industries which destroy the soil of farmlands across the world, including my home, virginia, that could be used to make more food and lower food costs for poor people. also, if you live in a country with free healthcare, you're a drain upon society's resources. You destroy cars' and homes' value by permanently stinking the place up, and, on a related note, you smell.

Yup. Straight up ruining traditionalist values, you. Not to mention killing your body, alongside delicious foods, minor radiations, and tourists. Pass a light, would you?
Hey, if you want to stink like shit, be my guest.
I like to think that Charles Darwin personally blesses every single cigarette sold.
Also, nothing can taste 'eloquent', that's just bloody ridiculous.

I think smoking is a terrible habit, but only with cigarettes. Cigars are fine with me. The act isn't bothersome as long as you don't breathe it on others or act like the cool guy in town. I would never smoke cigarettes because I think they're gross, nothing moral at all to it.
In short, you're not the devil.
Also...I've seen this thread so many times.

But there is nothing wrong with that since everyone who is brainwashed by TV knows alcohol = sexy + fun + cool and tobacco is the devil.
