smokers vs non-smokers

[Aava]

I don?t smoke, so the thing I hate the most is when my clothes and hair smells smoke after spending night (or just an hour) in the pub!
Mornings after pub nights, are horrible enough without that smell.

U smokers should be hung from the nearest lamp-post.

Kill urself by all means - but its outrageous u can get away with killing the rest of us through passive smoking, it makes me livid - to say smokers are selfish is not nearly going far enough

rant over.

Seriously, not all smokers are that bad. i would never smoke if I was near, or in the same room as a non-smoker, apart from a pub.

What I don't get is the shitty attitudes we get. You fuckers drive around in fucking jeeps and shit, and then complain about us guys. Blow it out your fucking bellend, you hypocrites.

Er...i don't even have a car

And....don't smokers with cars polute the same as a non smokers with cars? I don't even begin to get ur point (if there is one there)

Smokers not only pollute with their cars but add to that with their fags....

There are worse things in live than a little cigarette.  Get off the smoker's backs for goodness sake!  Complaining about some second hand smoke...please get off your pedastool and grow some balls.  Sounding like whiney little beotches.

 If you don't like smoke, tough...it's illegal inside any public building here in Delaware (including bars and restaurants) and my guess is that it probably will be everywhere else soon too. 

It doesn't even smell bad and a little smoke never hurt anybody...get back in your bubbles.

I didn't mean you, you tit.

Yes, yes. Right. In my old job, they (non-smokers) tried to get us stop smoking there (we smoked outside, away from everyone) but this wasn't good enough. They did not want us actually having a smoke whilst on the premises, because "it still polloutes the air". Now,  these are the same "non-smokers" who go to collect their kids from school driving a car that polloutes, err fucking children. Now, I realise the problems some people have with smokers, and I do sympathise (my spelling sucks tonight) but I don't understand the general hatred, for we all polloute, and we all do things that effect others well being. Hey, I ain't the fucker who ran down your child drunk "ban, fucking cars".

Well live in a small village about 20 mins outisde of Kingston, Ontario, and its illegal to smoke in any public buildings except your own home. It doesnt really bother me if i cant smoke in restaurants and what not, because it does upset my parents that i smoke and sine i still live with them i can easily just go outside and smoke or whatever. At school i smoke heavily with all my friends and you actually have to be on the sidewalk and not on school property opr you get fined and suspended which i think is ridiculous. you get 120 or so smokers crammed on a little piece of sidewalk if theres a teacher around. The restaurant maybe 5 minutes away is the only place u can smoke in our village since it doesnt fall under the by law which isnt so bad. All my girlfriends have been non smokers and it didnt bother them that i smoke, i just chew a piece of gum or w/e when im with them. By the way, having a smoke while you drink or after blazing is in fact amazing, you can suck cigarettes back like peanuts!

yeah!! you go!

and not only that, in the working life a "smoking brake" is OK.... but what about the non-smokers? they work their ass off covering them...

[Chris Misfit]

but what about the non-smokers? they work their ass off covering them...]

Yeah, that's also the smokers fault. Why don't you complain to your management, genious.

it takes a REAL genious to misspell GENIUS....

and maybe we arent working our asses of, but still the workers do have an "apology" for taking that brake, even if it isnt time for brake...

[Wheres Izzy]

at my job most of the non-smokers hang out with us while we smoke. Not to mention I have been prmotoed tywice this year at my job...so all of us smokers are not exactly slacking off.

i didnt mean you are slacking off.... just if you think of it, there are breaks for a reason... and some work places are cool. but ifi walked outside to take a sip of coke and relax a bit that wouldnt be allright... (though coke can be used while beeing inside..)

[Chris Misfit]

Haha, I'll shut up now.

[Dizzy]

The only question I have for you is in what bubble are you living?  Cigarette smoke smells like shit and and it harms everybody.  I think your statements perfectly reflect the level of logical defense a smoker can offer: NONE.

Yea but then you go on to spell brake wrong. Brake would be on a car....break would be something you take around noon for lunch.

Bad puncuation too......

Dizzy, we agree again. The post was too dumb to reply to, but I'll agree with your response to that dumb post.

[axls_locomotive]

the number of passive smoking deaths in the uk is estimated to be around 1000 a year...yet a disease like aids causes only 400-500 deaths a year...

the number of people with asthma in the uk is over 3 million...and its impossible to know if the person you are next to has asthma, but there is a 1 in 20 chance that he/she is...then we have bronchitis, cancer, lung disease and numerous other conditions that are affected...im not surprised that many smokers are selfish...

i think thats cause for legislation

[SLCPUNK]

Yea but then you go on to spell brake wrong.

Bad puncuation too......

And in turn, you misspelled "punctuation".? ?

Late night post. But you know my spelling too...

If one is going to post ONLY to correct an other (which is against the rules anyway) they should make sure their shit is right too. Except me of course.

Which reminds me...two of my friend who are smokers, have asthma.  Now, I think it's dumb to smoke normal cigarettes anyway, but when you already have asthma...

I regularly laugh at them about this.

Exactly.

The same people who moan about smoking, cause damage to the enviorment and people around them in their own way, yet they don't give a shit. Smokers are being banned from doing what they choose, which is fair enough, and not many of us complain, but it still does not stop the moaning from non-smokers. Like seriously, you hate it, big fucking deal, quit throwing your dummy out of the pram, grow the fuck up, and stop fucking whinging. YOU ARE GETTING YOUR OWN WAY, BE HAPPY.

I'm sorry, we are talking about an activity which is proven to kill those nearby through passive smoking - i'd say that was an issue to get worked up about. Smokers aren't just an inconvenience or an annoyance - they are a certified threat to the health of others

If someone was damaging your health wouldn't u be concerned?

Because the smoker is too stupid to realise he is killing himself doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer.

[Chris Misfit]

Yeah, so? You want me not to smoke infront of some guy (in the pub) who's just drank 15 pints of lager, because I'm endangering their health?

My orginal point, most people who complain will never suffer from passive smoking, ever. It's not that big of a health risk. Maybe to those who work in bars, but not to the general public. You have more chance of being eaten by a 10 year old boy, than actually contracting cancer from walking down the street.

You can't smoke on buses, trains, some resturants, public offices, shopping centres,  lesuire centres, librarys, private transport, cinemas, in the workplace. Infact, the only public place you are guarenteed a smoke now is the pub. So where exactly are you going to breath in enough passive smoke, for it to endanger your health?

Because the smoker is too stupid to realise he is killing himself doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer.

Dude, your attitude is disappointing. Smoking is addictive. I do not have the willpower or infact the want to quit. I do realise I'm killing myself, but I cannot quit, and I don't really want to.

but you're generalising. Not all smokers, actually smoke when non-smokers are around. And massive steps by the goverments are being taken to stop smokers, doing what they want. How long until it's enforced in the UK? It'll happen soon. Anyway, you're big boys, if someone is smoking near you, tell them to put it out, or fucking move.
