There is talk about smokers in the other topic so here are 10 things I hate about smokes.

1: Their clothes stink
2: They are weak minded mother f***ers who give into peer pressure or are just stupid. (old people not so much when there was no evidence it was bad for you or they were in a war or something)
3: They are inconsiderate to everyone who does not want cancer.
4: The throw their butts and empty packets on the ground.
5: They like to get in the way of everyone else. At bus stops, in door ways, park benches etc.
6: Their breath stinks looooooong after they finished smoking.
7: They are slackers always needing to take a break from work to feed their addiction.
8: They are gay because they like to suck on a fag.
9: They ALWAYS stand upwind of everyone go share their death around
10: Let a smoker borrow something of yours for a couple days it will return reeking of smoke.

1. That's subjective, I for one, don't mind the way smokers (of tobacco) smell
2. Peer pressure? Who gives into peer pressure these days. As for the stupidity aspect, a ton of shit is stupid. Like drinking.
3. Just don't stand near someone in a confined spae while they smoke?
4. Litterers != smokers
5. So does anyone who loiters
6. Gum, mints, brushing teeth, etc.
7. Everyone can always find an excuse to take a break. It's because people all suck and are lazy, has nothing to do with smoking
8. So you have an issue with homosexuals?
9. *rolls eyes* Clearly they're all conspiring against you
10. You chose to loan them something.

10. You chose to loan them something.

1: You're gross
2: Thats how all the smokers I know got into it.
3: So I'm going to miss my bus just because some dick wants to light up a cigaret at the bus stop? Am I meant to just keep on walking in the wrong direction when I need to wait at an intersection for the lights to let me cross when some smoker stands next to me? I should be free to go where I like with out having to breath in their death.
4: So it's non-smokers throwing packs and butts on the ground?
5: Yeah it's loiters who stand in the front door ways at a restaurant and lets the wind blow the smoke back into the room for everyone else to have breath in too.
6: Smoke smell over powers all.
7: Smokers have more reason to take a break, thats why break time is called Smoko. smoko.urbanup.com/75590
8: Gay is a generic insult, you know this.
9: You need to get out more, go to a crowded city where you're forced to stand/walk these people everyday. Try it for a few years then tell me you don't hate smokers.
10: Sometimes you have to lend a friend in need a helping hand.

Defending smoking is retarded.

:)

[Laharls_Wrath]

1. Because I don't find a certain scent repulsive?
2. The smokers you know, no necessarily everyone who smokes
3. Stand upwind of them? Take a few steps away from them? They should be free to go where they want. What makes you higher priority than them?
4. Non-smokes throw plenty of shit on the ground (empty cups/cans, empty boxes, etc.)
5. Don't sit in front of the door? Or is it that the small amount of smoke that gets carried through the door by means of a breeze in what happens to be that specific direction, diluted throughout the large room, is going to guarantee your death?
6. Then take a few steps back and you wont have to deal with the scent
7. Common misconception
8. True, but I've always been slightly annoyed by that. Also, I was mocking how you had no point with this statement
9. So you're claiming you've more experience around people who smoke? I'm going to disagree here and wonder if you're actually able to prove this
10. *rolls eyes* If a friend is badly in need of something so much so that you feel compelled to loan them something why does the scent matter so much to you? Or just tell them not to smoke around it.

Hating people because they smoke is retarded

[Deleted]

Hating people because they smoke is justified because they suck too much to stop and hurt your lungs by just being present.

[Laharls_Wrath]

Maybe they don't want to stop? As for hurting you're lungs, you can move/reposition yourself/ask them to move/avoid smokers, and many things do more harm than smoke

[Laharls_Wrath]

that's just plain conceited
you're assuming no one would desire to smoke of their own accord and that your beliefs are the only ones that should be accepted
not wanting to stop is not necessarily due to addiction
true it's harmful, but your logic doesnt necessarily coincide with theirs

[Deleted]

Naturally, can't coincide at all, what with there being no logic in favour.

Things smoking does good for you:

Things smoking does bad for you:
Lungs
Money
Cancer
Teeth
Breath/Smell in general
Emotions

[Laharls_Wrath]

Perhaps I should clarify, that when referring to an individuals logic I include that fact that people can be emotional and irrational
that being said
smoking provides stress relief and iirc it has digestive benefits
however I havent experienced any of this first hand, as I don't smoke

I can also point to other commonly used items with negative side effects as well, such as coffee and your teeth

[Tails82]

If you want to lose weight, smoke.

And you look cool, duh.

[Deleted]

The only relief smoking gives it takes back when you're out of nicotine in your system, much like any other thing taken for the aid of emotions.
And I don't drink coffee either.

[Laharls_Wrath]

But do you hate everyone who drinks coffee?
As for relief wearing off, that's the way most modern medicine works, unless you're saying that the benefits of most medication should be ignored as well.

[Tails82]

McDonalds has smoke breaks, not non-smoking breaks

That's a third reason. 3 strikes you're out Jen, debate over

[Deleted]

The differences being
1. Coffee can't hurt the innocent bystander outside of getting dumped on them
2. Medicine taken to stop disease, etc. does not restore the disease when it wears off tenfold

[Tails82]

Here Jen I will fix the list for you

Things smoking does bad for you:

All your concerns rebutted:
-Lungs: by the time we get lung cancer they will have perfected lung transplants and we'll be living to 300
-Money: smokers actually make more money because of the social aspect. Johnson will get the raise when he smokes and laughs it up with his boss while John Doe over there will be passed over on account of not looking cool and not knowing how to have a good time.
-Cancer: will be cured in a few years, nonissue
-Teeth: overrated. Smokers don't smile anyway. Grinning like that is uncool. And if they rot it gives you an excuse for more milkshake drinking. White teeth, yellow teeth, it's all good. I'm not a tooth racist like you.
-Breath/Smell in general: smells good to everyone who's a smoker, so why haven't you joined them?
-Emotions: people smoke=happy. That is why Indians had the peace pipe, silly.
