[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Smoking (Page 1 of 3)

| Why is it almost every time I'm having a cigarette someone tells me I need to quit?! Not only that but they follow with "i quit 10 (3 years, 20 years, etc.) years ago" like you're suppose to praise them, well good for fucking you I'm glad you made the right choice for YOU! Then they go on to tell you about the 10 billion fucking articles out there about how smoking effects your body and blah blah blah. Yes, I have read or heard about them because of the 3000 people before you that have told me to quit and think my personal choices are something the everyone should not crituqe. If I wanted to stop fucking smoking I would have, I enjoy it and I'll give it up when I'm damn ready to, just my your own business. |

If you want to smoke, smoke.
If you are around people who want you to put it out, put your cigarette out... on them. You won't have them pestering you to put it out any more. Tobacco is not a big deal, humans have smoked for a LONG, LONG time. All the chemicals they are putting in and on the genetically altered tobacco is where the problem comes from. I smoked for about 35 years. I made the choice to quit. If your choice is to continue to smoke. Cool with me. |

Sometimes a good smoke makes a bad day bearable.
All things in moderation. We're all going to die of something someday. I knew, and still know, folks who made it to the 80s and were enjoying filterless. Knew a health conscious guy that died at the venerable age of 22 from cancer. Purely genetic. He had no say and was gone in a year and a half. There's a saying: When it is your time. It's your time. I remember when there was smoking in McDonald's and it never bothered me. You may live forever spiritually but your days as a mortal are marked, numbered, and finite. Regardless of what you do. |

I respect your choice to smoke, OP. If you want to be a dumbass and continue to smoke, it's your call. FPNI (Fourth Post Nails IT) On that note I smoked for 16 years before quitting 2 years ago. I have never pestered anyone of my friends or family to quit , but I do lend support if they ask me about quitting. |

Quoted:
America is now a nanny state. Didn't you get the memo? No smoking, trans fats, large Cokes (that's sodas or pops for y'all Yanks), high fructose corn syrup, guns or anything else that's fun. This. First two responses fail at life. Yes, because caring about your friends is a failure at life. 
Has nothing to do with "nanny state." I have no fucks to give when it comes to strangers. You want to smoke that crap & die, fine with me. But when a friend, (a person I care about) does it, I will tell them. OP asked "Why is it almost every time I'm having a cigarette someone tells me I need to quit?!" He asked a question & i gave him an answer based on my personal experience with friends who smoke. |

Because it's literally one of the most fucking disgusting things a person can do. It smells, it makes you smell, stains your teeth, etc. etc. The health risks and negatives are well-known. If you still smoke in 2014, you're a fucking idiot. |

Correct, OP never specified who told him that. I simply answered his question as to why. I would guess that most strangers will not go up to a random person and tell them to quit. It will most likely come from someone who cares about you. |

Nothing against you personally, I don't know you, but generally; I consider people that pay good money to slowly poison themselves to death to be certified idiots.
And I say that as a former smoker who has not had a cigarette in 22 years and has been tobacco free for 12. They are trying to help you because they care about you. |

Imagine that, someone on a discussion board gives an answer based on their own lifes experiences. The audacity of it

Sounds a bit like shooting. Quoted:
Quoted:
It's an expensive, dirty, unhealthful habit that annoys people who don't do it. Go ahead and smoke, and deal with the consequences. you can take a shower after shooting and not smell like it your car and house won't smell like shooting you won't get cancer or stained teeth from shooting etc. fucking stupid comparison |

I just decided I was tired of it one day and didn't enjoy it anymore. I didn't get self-righteous and smug like a hybrid owner and I really don't care if you smoke or not. I still get tired of the anti-smoking ads and I don't even do it anymore. Can't people just STFU once in awhile instead of preaching and acting like they are smarter than everyone else? |
