I hate smokers!!!

[Anonymous]

I hate that my husband has quit twice before, but won't try again. The withdrawal is worse every time. I keep thinking cancer treatments and/or heart attacks won't be much fun, either.

Aw that really sucks! Does he want to quit? If he does, could you suggest that he try Wellbutrin? I know that can help some people quit.

Just curious here but do all you smoker haters spend as much time spewing vitriol at child molesters on social media? And are you all actively working at this time against climate change by volunteering and buying electric cars? What about the person who complained about a smoker in a car 100 yards away that disrupted her inhalation of pure exhaust? You drive a Prius right? At least you people are honest unlike the fat shamers who claim they are concerned about someone else's health. Neither one of you gives an EFF about anyone's health but your own within the confines of your ridiculous hypochondria and chronic tinfoilhatia.

Op here. You are really strange. What do child molesters have to do with smokers? I don't use any social media, so no, I don't do that. My complaint in my op was about the horrible smell. I didn't complain about pollution or cancer, but I do think others have every right to complain about that if they want to. I simply can't stand the smell. It makes me sick. It makes my child sick. I feel like I'm breathing the smoke in when the smoke blows into my house. I live in a non smoking building, so I shouldn't have to be inhaling smoke when I open my windows on a nice day. You wanna smoke? Fine, do it in your own house.

I think the comments about smokers being "selfish" are because 1 lousy cigarette can have a big radius. 1 person smoking outside a restaurant means the entire outdoor seating area smells it. When someone smokes at the top of an escalator, the smell comes down. And hurrying up the escalator to get away doesn't help because you breath in more while exerting yourself. And what about my 2yo on the escalator with me? Or you walk out of your office building and you are greeted with clouds of smoke. Why can't I just leave in peace?

That's the real issue for me. I don't care if you smoke. I do care when it feels like I am smoking too. inconsiderate to say the least.

You sound like a very special snowflake.

No, pp sounds reasonable. You sound like a dumb asshole.

If you think this sounds reasonable you must be posting from a padded room. No one gets to personally direct all life around them. Did you even read the part about the escalator? How does this person live with so much drama. If someone farts in her house, does she put it up for sale?

Except smokers apparently. Someone's smoke affects people nearby. No way around that. My doing nothing affects no one.

You mean smokers are breaking into your house at night and standing over your bed puffing away? Smoking is not permitted in almost every public building in this city and many places even outdoors (like hospital grounds). I'm a smoker and I don't have a problem with this. But when you complain about someone smoking in their own home or on their own property or on a public street where it is legal, it gets a little over the top. This is America and people have freedom to make their own decisions. It's not just about your freedom, it's about other's as well.

You're who I was writing about earlier:

"... smokers just don't get it (or refuse to). They really don't understand how their stench follows them into buildings when they come inside after a smoke. They don't realize how bad their clothes smell, or that their hair radiates stale smoke stink. They truly do not understand that their habit follows them around and makes people near them feel ill even if they don't have a lit cigarette in their hand at the moment."

But hey, enjoy ruining the immediate vicinity everywhere you go because Freedom or whatever.

I live in a townhouse and this lovely young woman who lives two doors down sits outside most of the day when the weather is nice and smokes. I can smell it from my bedroom.

My mom was a heavy smoker and it was awful. When I went away to college, I felt so much better.

But I do want to ask this lovely woman - what the hell are you doing? If I could take her to her future in 20 years and to what her health will be, she would never smoke again. Thinking back to hearing my mom cough ALL THE TIME and get sick so much - the flu, and constant colds, makes me feel very sad - what a waste.

Think away, but bite your tongue before you start lecturing others. Everybody choose how to live their own life. If your neighbor has chosen to smoke, that's her choice, her right, and her responsibility to deal with the consequences.

When smokers choose to live in condos and apartment buildings and then smoke outside on nice days, and the smoke is blowing into everyone else's homes because they opened their windows for some fresh air then it's a problem for me. It's rude. It's disgusting. It's inconsiderate. Smokers: you SUCK!

Yes, they do. They sound like someone who's mere presence woulnt send me into an asthma attack. They sound like someone who doesn't toss flaming cigarette butts from thier car, as I'm driving behind them.

The PP sounds great to me!

Serious question - do you also hate backyard fire pits, wood fireplaces, camp fires, etc? Or is it just cigarette smoke?

Cigarette smoke is disgusting. Camp fires and fireplaces are great. Are you seriously trying to compare the those smells to cigarettes? They are nothing alike

I smoked on and off for 10 -15years? (not sure).. definitely hid it..Though when I smoked it permeated so friends knew I did. Anyway, I did end up quitting in 2002 more earnestly mostly out of peer pressure and I had a minor surgery around this time. If I am now around smoke, I cough and can't really breathe. So- will never smoke again nor want to. It has been 15 years now and I have no desire nor even "fight it" to not smoke.

So- it is possible, please try to quit.

Serious question: Is the DCUM smoker rage just a class signifier/striver issue? Since smoking is perceived as low class these days (though people of every income level do it), I feel like all of the over the top drama, irrationality and hypochondria is really just people trying to scream "I'm not low class."

don't hate the smokers, but I sure hate what it does. The smell, the stink, it is terrible. Today I rented I car, and got in it, noticed within 10 minutes the smell of smoke. They probably sprayed it to mask it. I called and called and called the local rent a car place to tell them, but nobody answered in 2 hours and more I was calling and on hold. Now, they will try to scam me for it and I have never in my long life touched a cigarette.
