Smoking is a problem when it affects the quality of life for others.

I grew up in the day where when seated in a restaurant, you had a choice to sit in the Smoking or Non-Smoking section! As if second-hand smoke did no harm! Thankfully bars in my state ban smoking inside....Even higher education institutions have Smoking-Only areas. Too bad casinos still allow people to light up.

In the 40's/50's, smoking was viewed as glamorous and sophisticated. (Look how in the old movies how EVERYONE lit up....Women even carried fancy cigarette cases!!)

But since learning that cigarettes were cancer sticks plus caused heart and breathing issues later down the line, it baffles me that anyone would even start!! Especially knowing how addicting nicotine is!! Who wants to look 40 when they are 26, have yellow teeth/nails plus have a hacking cough every single morning??!

You couldn't pay me a billion to put one of those disgusting things in my mouth.

I see 0 benefits in doing so.

I have kicked many addictions. Have been through a ton of shit. But smoking is the hardest battle for me. A little compassion for us. Nobody got a DUI or shot up a school after having nicotine. Just got us some slack, okay?

PP here. "cut us some slack." There are far more things for you to get worked up about.

The problem is that it directly affects your neighbors. Their house and furniture now reeks because of your habit. If it only affects you, like, say, watching tv all night, then no problem. But when it actually affects other people's lives, then it's a big problem.

Exactly. Thank you. If you want to smoke, do it in your house. Especially when you live in a large building with 200+ neighbors. Most of us (95ish%) are smart enough to not smoke, but we still have to deal with the nastiness of the 5% of you idiots who have no self control and must smoke on your porch constantly.

So should everybody quit using grills outside too? Those create exponentially more smoke than cigarettes. And tiki torches? Candles? Incense? Diesel trucks? Bonfires? Op, lots of things outside create stinky smoke. Like when I'm behind a nasty dump truck in DC, I close my windows. When a diesel snow plow runs his engine in front of my house for 13 hours, I close my windows. When I grill, I close my windows. I close them when it rains too. Can you make rain stop? Can you ban all bad perfume? Because I HATE the smell of vanilla and sweet/musky perfumes more than anything. More than smoke for sure. Oh and please ban B.O.

The worst yellow teeth I ever saw was from drinking tea.

Oh you think it's funny? You're trash. Every smoker I know is TRASH. You're disgusting and you stink. Your hair, clothes and breath stink. I can smell you when you walk in to the room and I gag. Your face and teeth look gross. And you smoke outside to keep the smoke out of your house? Guess what? Your house still smells like shit. And so does mine because I tried opening my windows for fresh air, and your SELFISH disgusting ass decided to smoke every 30 or so mnutes. Fuck you.

Jesus. Smokers are also human beings. You will survive this pp. Holy heel take a chill pill.

But you're SOOOOO COOOOOOLLLLLLLL and had to smoke because you are SUCH a badass.

You are disgusting and rude.

The overwhelming majority of smokers started smoking during adolescence or early adulthood (9/10 smokers started before age 18 & 99% before age 26 ). People in their teens & early 20s aren't exactly known for thinking about the long-term consequences their decisions -- which makes perfect sense given that the frontal cortex of the brain isn't even fully developed until around age 26. So when 18-year-olds are tempted to smoke in order to fit in, rebel or deal with stress, the fact that it could lead to a longterm nicotine addiction that, in turn, leads to cancer & emphysema decades from now often isn't enough to stop them.

Death to smokers!!! Oh, right...

Get a hose and spray them. Say you thought they were on fire.

I'm certainky not a fan of smoking but I would rather have 10 smokers living next door to me than have you as my neighbor.

Smoking is (was) my absolute favorite vice. Ever. I miss it every single day.

Do you haters feel the same about dope smokers? If not, why not?
