Why must you insist on arguing?
That's not the same thing.
...You're an N, figure out why. If you post about why it's not or question me further, you are just denying the answer. This is SO obvious. You just want to argue because you're a smoker and you got butt hurt over my comment.
So part of the reason nonsmokers don't get it is because...
You can drink responsibly
You can eat junk food responsibly
You can bungee cord jump responsibly
You can't smoke responsibly.
Smoking will always hurt your body, there is no question of it. Hence, the not understanding why someone would do it.
Mark Twain said:Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.
Not that this thread is especially interested, but I started smoking when I was 18, quit when I was 20 for 8 or 9 years and then took it up again. I just enjoy the habit, as much for the outdoors contemplative time it gives you an excuse for as anything else. Loitering outside by yourself and having a good brood for 15 mins seems awkward without a cigarette as a prop.
Australia is a pretty obnoxious place to smoke in though. Heroin addicts would feel entirely entitled to get on their high-horse about your disgusting, weak-willed, destructive habit. Government-funded "education" on the topic started for me when I was in year 3. So confidently marginalized are smokers in this country that I really had very little chance of not giving it a go sooner or later.
I don't smoke. I don't care if others do. It is only cool in film noir.
Thread is self explanatory.
I smoke, and I respect it if other people choose not to. I will also respect it if someone politely asks me to put it out or move further away. I will be happy to put it out and move it further away if you're a decent human being about it. You jump on my ass with holier-than-thou attitude and condemnation, you will be greeted with the same treatment from me. That's just how I feel about it.
No it isn't.
Smoking what?
EDIT: damnit, Lauren.
I've never smoked either. Tried to pick up the habit several times over the last 5 decades, but I seem to have an aversion to nicotine. It makes me sick. If not for that factor, I probably would have started at one point or another.
I have so much respect for you non smokers, wish I could do it, still, never give up giving up and all that. One day I shall succeed at quitting.
Until then, I'll have to keep going outside the clubs to have my puff of those cancer sticks, in the rain, snow and night time chill weather lol.
I wonder what line Vegas would give this kid that he lives to see his 40th birthday. I would put my money on dead.Thread is self explanatory.
And yes, I'm 15 and I still smoke. So, suck it, SmokeFree America.
