I HATE SMOKERS!!

[stokeman455]

     Maybe there are smokers on here that might hate you, I smoke, but do not hate anyone!!  I am a responsible smoker myself. I do not throw my cigarette  on the ground, nor do I put them out in the sand.( ^^%%#@!(*)  I Live 1000 feet from the beach, I do not want it trashed by  :bootyshake either!! One last thing, I did not start smoking to be cool, that`s a load of  . Why do people drink coffee or drink alcohol. What bad habits do you have?   

[jordandog]

You know its the people that complain about cigerettes and clean air that will sit there and just as easily use 10 different products in their hair. Then wash that down the toilet and kill a bunch of aquatic life...but as long as THEY are happy that is what really matters right?

And complain about the pollution and the cost - while driving their huge SUV's. And complain about a child being exposed to smoke in the air - while they drive said SUV to McDonald's for the 6th time that week to feed their 6 children a 'healthy and fun' Happy Meal. And complain about the butts not being biodegradeable while loading up that back of said SUV with case after case of water and pop in plastic bottles.

I am NOT sticking up for smokers, but if I hear one being abused by some 250 pound woman (with hair stiff enough to cut glass) who is holding a bottle of Coke (to wash down her triple cheeseburger and fries) and the keys to her big SUV so she can drop off her 3 youngest (still in disposable diapers - yeah, THOSE are biodegradeable), I WILL open my mouth and tell her what to do with HER opinion.

I know that was a very grammatically incorrect post, but I think I got my point across...

Smoking is nasty

[tantricia44]

I don't care if you smoke or not just don't smoke around me! My Aunt worked in a factory full of smoking workers for 20 years & died of lung cancer! She never smoked a day in her life but died because of someone's dangerous habit. (second hand smoke) This happened before smoking laws were ever considered  in the US. So, her family couldn't sue the factory or her fellow co-workers for contributing to her illness & death! So, smokers respectfully, do your habit in your own space because I refuse to be MURDERED because of YOUR HABIT!!!!

[tantricia44]

It annoys me when people toss their cigarette butts on the ground, when I see pregnant women smoking, or people smoking around their kids. It's their choice to smoke, but the kids have no say on whether or not they inhale the stuff.  As a child, I always had serious lung infections and the doctor told us it was because my father was smoking around me. Dad refused to quit for 12 years. When he finally did quit, I didn't get lung infections anymore. Of course after inhaling secondhand smoke all that time, I developed asthma.

Maybe you should sue your dad for childhood endangerment. Endangering a child's welfare due to exposing you to second hand smoke. I'm not kidding, second hand smoke kills!

  I don't dislike (or hate, as you put it) smokers; they are people just like us.  I don't like the smoke and the cigarettes at all.  My parents (especially my dad) were both pretty heavy smokers.  They both died from complications of smoking (emphezema, lung cancer, heart attack.)  Since growing up, I've developed asthma, chronic cough that the drs. say comes from the second-hand smoke.)  Now, I've got a "shadow" on the base lining of my lung that I am having a cat scan for (tomorrow.) I get really upset when I see parents smoking in the car with their children and the windows up - that's what happened to me a lot.  I feel for the children and their future.  I've also seen parents smoke in the car, windows down, and cigarette held outside of window - that is more considerate, at least.  My point:  You shouldn't hate smokers, just their habit.  You may have a habit they wouldn't like, but it shouldn't mean they hate everyone with your type of habit.

Too bad you can't sue your parents. Their habit has contributed to your condition. I think it's sad that your parents didn't protect you like they should have. Though Habit is, a really hard thing to break. (not just in the area of smoking either) It doesn't excuse it. I hope everything goes okay with your scan. Good Luck! By the way, I like your  .

Smokers are annoying... but I don't hate them.

[wischmeyersn]

Smoking is a bad habit, and although I may not like it, it doesn't mean that I "hate" the people who do smoke. Quite a few of my family members and friends smoke. They know it's bad for them, and for the most part the respect me enough not to be rude about smoking around me.

Thanks for your response and encouragement. I haven't heard back from the Monday cat scan on my chest.  Speaking of cats, we actually have 3 cats!  2 tortoise shells, and my grey tabby in the pic.  She is my kitty and is spoiled rotten - thinks she's the queen (brat is a good word!!)

Oh people, do you know how long tobacco has been around??? So what if you think that smoking is discusting~GOOD FOR YOU!!!! It ain't going anywhere.

...oh yea, do me a favor and pull out some of your CD's of your favorite musicians, celeberties, and famous Icons all around the world that you love and support and send them the same message of how you hate smoking cigarretes, and the people that do it, when most of them Smoke Ciggarettes!!!!

  Non-smokers who protest their opinion to everyone like this are some of the most annoying friggin' people on the planet! It just comes out sounding like those little annoying "yippie dogs!"(ie, chihuahuas, pomeranians) jump all over you, hump your leg, or snap at you, and chirp up to make their opinion heard about the subject any time the mood hits them!!!!
 
       "Bark Bark Bark, smokers stink sooo bad, I just can't stand it, I hate them!!!!

"Yipe, Yipe, Yipe-you shouldn't be smoking here, because second hand smoke bothers me!!!"

       "Grrrrrrr, you shouldnt be a smoker because I won't date you!!!!!"

Here's my point....We get the message that you don't like it! We know all of the adverse affects and what we can die of and how we can affect others health negatively-I promise you that we know it already!!! If you really have a problem with it, why not use that negative energy to join an anti-smoking group to discuss it? Be productive about how you feel, don't "talk it" to death!!!

Don't you think that person whom you wouldn't date because they smoke might have been thinking the same thing about you??

You know, "second hand mouth" has been known to have dangerous effects on people's health, too!

Would you protest Harley Davidson motorcycles because they are noisy, and tell all Bikers that ride near you not to ride them, because it annoys you? I dare you to try that one at a rot rally!!!! I'll do you one even better-go tell bikers at a bar that their second-hand smoke is bothering you, and how it could have adverse affects on theirs and your health!!!! Love to be a fly on the wall for that disaster!

It's the persons choice if they choose to do it, and if you can't stand it-get over it!!!! Don't put yourself in that situation to be around it. If that means never going out to a club, or hanging out with your friends, dating certain people, ect. Fine, close your life off from it!!!

OH, and PLEASE DON'T GO TO EUROPE! You wouldn't be able to stand it there!
I've been all over Croatia(Dalmatia, Zagreb, Dubrovnick) ect...Especially the old pubs or expresso shops, which I loved.  My ex is from Croatia, he started smoking when he was 14 yrs old, and his family took a picture of it!!

Granted, there are places to go that are non-smoking, but unfortunately-You will run into people who smoke alot of cigarettes when you go thereoverseas-Guaranteed!!!
Like I said, whether you believe it or not, smoking tobacco has been around forever and it always will be-so what's your point?

everyone will die eventually in this world, I choose to do it EXOTICALLY!

I made up cheer 4 her: Splat, splat super brat, oh my goodness your a cat! Shadow Thief (the thief that stole my ) he's a Norwegian Mystic Forest cat,Manncoon,Raggdoll mix or mutt. Pets r like potato chips, you can't just have one. Got to go, they're giving me the u forgot to feed us look.

What makes you any better? I smoke and you don't see me whining about how I "hate" non-smokers. I don't hate anyone. You need to get a life
