I hate smokers

[Anonymous]

It’s a disgusting habit that affects everyone around them.

Our neighbor smokes like a chimney and we can’t go into our backyard or have windows open without smelling it.

I know it’s his right but I get so aggregated I hate to admit it but I hope nature takes its course sooner rather than later so my kids and I can enjoy our backyard in peace.

I quit 25 years ago. I don’t understand how or why anyone smokes today. And don’t even get me started on pot or vaping.

I mock them, personally. To their face, usually. I scold them and ask why the hell they would willingly give their money to evil corruptions to suck on poison.

I'm more of a green egg person than a smoker so I'm with you OP!

I spent my childhood with by my smoking parents. My father tried to quit but my mother didn't want to, and he couldn't stop while surrounded by her cigarettes. Now he's in the early stages of dementia. I know it wasn't brought on entirely by the cigarettes, but smoking is a factor, and I feel a little resentful that my mother couldn't help him out and at least try to accompany him in his efforts. She knew he had a genetic predisposition.

Sigh.

My grandparents suffered years of smoking related conditions before they died (vision problems, lung problems, circulation problems, cancer, nerve damage in one case that made their foot feel like it was on fire). When they started as teens in the 1930’s, people didn’t understand how bad it was.

What really gets me is that we’re now treating smoking marijuana with the same cavalier attitudes that my grandparents’ generation once treated cigarettes. We know that not only does marijuana cause many of the same health problems as cigarettes, but that its secondhand smoke, like cigarette smoke, can be dangerous to those exposed to it. Moreover, we know that marijuana is damaging to developing brains.

It was bad enough to sacrifice my grandparents’ generation to ignorance. It boggles comprehension that we’re willing to sacrifice the current generation to recreational marijuana use. However, it is utterly unconscionable to sacrifice the wellbeing of the next generation (who have no control over their secondhand exposure) to the selfishness of their parents pursuing pleasure, the marijuana industry pursuing $$$, and the politicians pursuing votes. If you think there are problems with education and mental illness now, what do you think our country will be like when a generation of brain-damaged children comes of age?

It’s not really “your” apartment, tho. You don’t own other people’s choices.

It's a rental. So you don't really "own" it. It's not yours.

I have a nostaglic fondness for smoky resturants and venues. Reminds me of more carefree times. I wouldn't want to be surrounded every day anymore, but a few times a year is fun still.

Also vape is more disgusting and harmful imo than cigs. I'd take unfiltered tobacco anyday over some weird liquid mix of toxic chems.

When PP is smelling it in their apartment, the secondhand smoke is affecting their body, which according to the “Their body, their choice” means that PP should have a choice that the smoker is stealing from them.
