+10000000000000000000000 Calm Down! I hate SMOKING But I know, love and respect a few folks who I know are smokers. It is dangerously bad habit and addiction but I don't hate people because of it. You are way over the top OP!!!!!! |
I guess we need a list of who it is okay to shame and who it isn't huh? Smokers - ok White people - ok Republicans - ok Rich people - ok SAHMs - ok people who shame the above - not ok fat people - not ok self diagnosed "mentally ill" - not ok took on major debt to major in something useless and are now destitute - not ok |
This needs to be a spin-off. |
It isn't o.k. to shame fat people? Haha. Yeah right. Even the White House is fighting the war on obesity. |
Start a thread here about how obesity is unhealthy and avoidable and/or how "fat acceptance" sets a bad president for young people and see how quickly it gets shut down. |
Op here, I totally agree with you about all except the part where you said it's ok to shame smokers. Based on this thread, the smokers are winning! And one more thing, I started this thread so I could vent. I went crazy in my first post and a couple other responses for fun. And it helped me feel better about the asshole smokers! |
| Look at the bright side, at least smokers will die early. A pretty ugly death drowning in their own mucus. |
| I am coming to the realization that I don't want to live to be really old and should maybe consider taking smoking back up. |
...and you think grill smoke can't give you cancer and emphysema? Why is that smoke exempt? |
Have fun with your slow drawn out suicide. Why slowly suffocate to death when you can just put a gun in your mouth aND pull the trigger. You're not so bright. |
| If so many people are bothered by it and think it directly impacts public health, why not pressure the tobacco companies to close or only sell overseas? |
Why not let grown adults live their own lives and smoke if they want to. I saw people smoking today. It didn't impact me or cause me any inconvenience. They know damn well that it is a bad habit but they choose to smoke anyway. I used to smoke and I chose to quit. Those folks can quit too. Or they can keep on smoking. It is not up to me to decide that for them. |
Amen. OP, you seem like a whiny, smug, obnoxious person. Hate to break it to you, but you aren't holier-than-thou because you don't smoke. |
Right back at ya!

| Is this really a big issue? Who smokes anymore? I can count on one hand ten number of people I know who smoke. |
