Smokers

[VenFan]

You know, I just can't stand smokers! Not your average smokers that actually smoke. I'm talking about your half-hearted quitter. Now, there are two types of quitters: those who say "you know what? I quit," and actually quit and never pick up another cigarette again. I like these people. They're strong-willed beings that deserve a big piece of cake or sugary item of their choice. Then-- then there's the other type of quitter. The "I've been trying to quit for ten years now," quitter. The weak-willed loser who smokes for one week, quits for three days, and starts right back up again because he/she "needs their fix" and can't handle reality without their nicotine. Now just because they decided they'd quit, anytime something goes wrong, they get all bent out of shape and depressed, and, for some reason, decide to take everything out on you, the non-smoker. Well guess what? I'm not dealing with that crap! Forget these "quitters" and their idiotic emotional rollercoasters. If you're a quitter, then quit! If you're a smoker, smoke your brains out! Just don't be one of these lame ol' people who "wants to quit but just can't do it!" Grow up! Don't go around, ruining everyone's day just because you can't have a cigarette. And you know, that's what they do. They all just ruin your day. Now, just because they're going through nicotine withdrawls, these brain-dead over-developed nuisances are bursting into tears or setting themselves on fire anytime the office copier isn't working properly. And a lot of people like to say "well, you don't really understand unless you're a smoker." Frankly, I don't care. Just because some idiot made the mistake of smoking it up and getting addicted to nicotine twelve years ago, all of a sudden I have to be all supportive and understanding on their "road to recovery?" Forget that! I went through my whole life making darn sure I didn't smoke, and now, just because some clown didn't have the willpower to say "no," and got hooked twelve years ago, I'm supposed to take their moody crap? Forget them! These indecisive wastes of DNA have to make a choice: you're either a smoker or you're not. Find out which one and be that person. And if you can't decide, stay away from me and eat some of those nicotine patches until your eyes turn yellow! Stop bothering me with your pathetic crap, you losers.

P.S.- This is all actually from a "Neurotically Yours" video I saw a while ago, and quite frankly, I couldn't agree with it more, so I typed it all up. I take no credit for this.

P.S.S.- I'm posting this to get the message through to those people who just can't seem to stop with the nicotine. I'd like to hear what you all have to say on the subject.

P.S.S.S.- The video had some rather course language in it, so I just edited it a bit. Swearing is against the rules, right? It is? Okay then, just making sure.

Of course smokers are annoying, but you really don't understand the nature of nicotine addiction untill you suffer from it, also, some people are actually nicotine resistant and can smoke for years when it becomes habitual, but not addicting at all, making it much easier for certain people to quit and unfair to judge peoples ability and willingness to quit.

It's humanities way of saying "We Love Addiction". Sorry that was a really screwy comment. Anyways people start smoking for numerous reasons and not just randomly.

[kcore23]

Many people start smoking because the y feel depressed, think they gain popularity, or just do it because they are rebellious. Personally, I say "Say NO to Drugs"

[VenFan]

It is true how I wouldn't know the position smokers are in when they try to quit. I've spent my 13 years of life making sure that I didn't puff one cigarette, and quite frankly, I don't ever plan on doing it any time soon. All I can really say, though, is that people should know what smoking does to you anyway. Maybe people do it to prove that they can quit if they wanted to, but once they start, they get hooked, and in a few years, they find a whole in their neck and their voice box is completely shriveled up. That's why people should be aware of the dangers of all addictions, because it may seem good in the beginning, but the possible outcomes are drastic. And surprisingly enough, adults aren't even aware of what these things can do to you. Why hasn't drug usage been made illegal yet? I mean, it is, I guess, but... well...

I guess wherever we go, there's always going to be someone killing themselves by smoking or drinking or doing whatever.

[Kryptik]

I also would have to agree with you when I said "No to drugs and smoking". Therefore I don't have to worry about those things. People smoke or do drugs for there own reasons. If they don't want to stops thats their decision but if they start smoking in front of you while you're talking to some one important tell them to stop and go some where else. If not just point to the sign that says " No Smoking for about" _____ so and so feet.."lol.

I am tottaly agianst smoking. Why would people want to put smoke in their lungs. Smoking kills people. It can give people Lung Cancer and other bad things. And for the people who quit, I am proud of them. I never going to smoke.

But, I guess it is their decision if they want to smoke or not.

Well no one knows why they start but we all know that we are going to die sooner in life. So why ruin our life by destroying it by Smoking or any other way that limits our life. Really why cut it short? There is so many things to enjoy in life.

[Sora]

I really don't like the essence of smoke, at all. I don't hate smokers, as that turns to being unfair towards people, throwing out prejudges, without really knowing the person. Thing is, smoking is an addiction. I bet you all knew that. There are a lot of reasons that may lead you to smoking:


1 - Familiar Issues/Depression.
Some people just don't have a life that we could call, normal. Sometimes they feel this big urge of letting go of everything and, apart from getting drunk to "shake the stress away", they may smoke too, to relax.

2 - The big error of "trying it for the first time."
There's always a first time for everything. Tasting a cigarette, too. Well, if you're lucky, you'll hate it, spit everything out, decide never to try it again. But, it may also catch you. And when I mean catch you, I mean trap, get you addicted. Some people make a decision for life of "never gonna try it.", but it's easier to say than to put in practice, isn't it? I believe everyone will "try" a cigarette sometime in their lives, and welp, if you like it, then I'm sorry for you, buddy, I don't recommend keeping the habit. I'm sure you'll get offered a cigarette puff at least once in your life. Then the decision of taking the chance or not, is completely yours, and personal, though then the consequences can end into fatality.


3- The classical: "Dude, if you can't smoke a cig, you're so out."
A lot of teenagers tend to go for the "Omg, if I smoke, I'm like, cooler than you, awesomer than you, if you smoke, you own, if you don't, then you just gotta try it."
In my opinion, that thing of gaining "popularity" for smoking or not is 100% plain stupid. You don't need to "smoke" to "get a life". Smoking doesn't make you better in any way. In fact, I feel sorry for the people that fall that deep to get mesmerized by depressed teenagers telling them that they'll be "in" if they get a cig.


There are a hella lot more reasons that may lead people into smoking. Those are 3, very typical, I'm sure you all already knew about them. It's an addiction, some people have the mental will of saying "I'm quitting." and actually do, and others say it, but they're way too addicted to let go of it. It's not easy to get rid of an addiction, maybe if you'd get addicted to cigarettes, or whatever may cause an addiction, you'd prove yourself how difficult is to stop afterwards. Some people may say "Oh, come on, if I smoke, it won't do any bad, I know I can leave it afterwards, for sure."
But sometimes it does not end like that.

Well yes those are pretty much the three most common ways they start. I think the last one is peer pressure and unnecessary to do. But thats just me anyways.
The thing that I am trying to figure out is why the hell would ANYONE CARE about even wanting to smoke, why waste that time or money on something you could spend it on. Well something that means more to you and more entertaining.

[kcore23]

Also people know that you can get lung cancer and die. they are just to stupid to stop. They should just find a positive habit rather than a bad one

[Roxas 1994]

I think many people are like "I just try it once and never try it agian." Like Sora said, but even if you try it once you can get addicted. If you know that you are going to get addicted then don't even try it once.

[Kryptik]

It's a stupid propaganda created by the government to increase their warefare instead of the society. I already said what I thought about smoking and anything else in this thread.

[TerraT3]

True and i don't like smoking it damages your lung make your breath stink and your nails become yellow and it's bad for others lets say someone has asema and you smoke next to them they could have a heart attack and you want to know why ppl smoke stress enxioty depression and you want to know what it causes stress enxioty depression so it totally wrong

Yeah, pretty much that's why we call it an addiction. People know how lame it is, how useless it is, everything. They just can't help it.

[Kryptik]

How does that make any sense though? They know it's lame and they can't help it and they still follow through with it. Well unless the control is meant for all of "Humanity" though then I get that.

[TerraT3]

you what they don't think about how it effects every one around them if your breath stink no one will talk to you and you say you dont want to hurt your family but smoking is hurt them inside and if you die that makes it worse

[Sora]

How does that make any sense though? They know it's lame and they can't help it and they still follow through with it. Well unless the control is meant for all of "Humanity" though then I get that.

Yep, they do. And through it all, they're human beings. "Humanity", as you say. They simply can't help their addiction.

[Roxas 1994]

Yep, they do. And through it all, they're human beings. "Humanity", as you say. They simply can't help their addiction.

That's true. They do not chose to crave nicatien (sp). It is what's inside the cigerate that messes with them.

[TerraT3]

yea not to aruge but it thier fault for making the choice to smoke and doing it just to be cool but really thier not

Some people have nothing better to do with their lives I guess.. Spelled= -(Nicotine)-

[VenFan]

People say that smoking relieves stress. Those people are the absolute worst!

1). They're weak-willed.

2.) They're pathetic.

"Oh, I've had a bad day, so I've got to have a smoke!" Those people just can't deal with reality, and that's their problem. "Oh, I've had a stressful day." Oh yeah? Big deal! The rest of the world had a stressful day. It's called 'life'. They've got to learn to deal with it. They just try their best to get through the day by using a deadly substance.

But whatever. Smoking's their desicion. No matter where we go, there's always going to be someone doing this crap.

Those two excuses are the pretty much the cause of smoking because people actually are willing to believe it when it's not true. Yeah well we all have stressful days and our problems. GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES..

Seriously! I mean, you should know better than to smoke! You should already know what the consequences are, so why still do it? Those people are so weak! What are they trying to do? Prove a point? That they can quit whenever they feel like it!? Those people disgust me beyond all other people! If you're gonna smoke, smoke your damn cigarettes until your teeth turn gold! If you're gonna quit, go ahead! Just don't expect me to support you when you're on your death bed because you're 25 years old and you've been smoking 3 packs a day since you were 16!

Sorry for my language, but I just can't stress it enough! Smoking should be illegal! Why hasn't the government stepped into this issue? It's like they don't even care about society anymore!

[Kryptik]

That would cause a high controversy and I doubt they want that because the economy would decrease by a lot. Besides not enough people complain about it.

[kcore23]

I thought the government cant do anything about the Smoking company if they put on the box "WARNING: Excessive smoking can lead to Lung cancer, lose of voice, hole in neck, and death." We should start a riot in front of the tobacco companies

[KHManiac]

In 1996, the tobacco industry said that drinking one to two glasses of whole milk a day was riskier than second-hand smoke.

Well I don't believe all the commercials out on TV these days. I also don't believe anything but my own instinct and common sense/knowledge. What I think is that smoking,drinking and drugs are all bad. Even the drugs that suppose to cure you they will kill you slowly from the inside out. Overdose is also bad on pretty much anything. However, addiction is addiction one way or another.

I went through my whole life making darn sure I didn't smoke, and now, just because some clown didn't have the willpower to say "no," and got hooked twelve years ago, I'm supposed to take their moody crap?

I’ve got to disagree with you here. Do you personally know anybody in this position? Sorry if you already mentioned, I didn't see anything. My father is one such person, and he smokes around 40+ cigarettes a day, but he is trying to quit and wears the patch and chews the gum, but he lacks he willpower. He's always complaining about 'wanting a fag' but do I think he is coward? Of course I don't, because this is one major habit he is finding extremely difficult to quit. He's been smoking since he was a little kid. I don't smoke or take drugs, but I've had other addictions that I thought I would never kick, but you need help and support, not negative remarks and vibes. It's hard to get through this by yourself. Not everyone has the belief or determination to succeed. Thankfully, there was a smoke-free legislation enforced earlier this year, which helps the matter for him. But I don't entirely agree with this law. Personally I hate smoking and the effects. I hate being in a public place and having smoke blown in my face. It bothers me when you hear about non-smokers getting diseases and dying because of second-hand smoking. I hate having to be bossy to other smokers when I wait for the bus to work. I can't have smoke permeating my work clothes as I handle babies and toddlers. I doubt smoking will ever be made illegal because of all the money the Government makes on the taxes. I hate the Government and their double standards.

[VenFan]

Yeah! Darn government!

[Soul Of Destiny]

Look, I really do not appreciate your slander of the smoking population, at all. I'm a smoker, I smoke often. And over HALF of the statements said have been untrue. And how dare you say they are week willed? Have you EVER fough addiction to ANYTHING in your life? I highly doubt it. People don't smoke because it's COOL anymore, they smoke as a whim, and the result of that is constant chain smoking addiction. Which is a serious problem. Not everybody can fight it as easy as others. Some cant fight it at all.

So before you say those who smoke are "Weak", Try going through what they go through. Then tell me how weak they are.

not to like intrued in your life why did you stop smoking

[Soul Of Destiny]

I did not quit.
I still do.

[TerraT3]

i typed it worng i meant to say why did you start you don't have to tell me if you don't want to

[Soul Of Destiny]

I started because I simply wanted to see what the hype was about. And the result, as you can guess, is addiction.

[TerraT3]

remeber im not tring to make you fell uncomfertable but like do people in your family smoke

[Soul Of Destiny]

My mom, brother, Step Father.

[TerraT3]

is that it in your family in general

Well I would have to agree with what you said. Some people go overboard in there life and turn to smoking for their own reasons. I in partically don't care if any one smokes since they have interest/hobbies in common with me. I'm not sure about the other person saying smokers should die. Thats definately not my style. Sure people have problems that they try to solve and some can't be fixed no matter how hard you try but thats life. Anyways, chain smoking is also cause by the ventilation system which leaks into other rooms so thats another reason. I however cannot list anymore reasons since there are so many and we our all different people with our own minds. We think in a completely different way.

[kcore23]

I just started a petition to ban smoking. I set it to end at New Year's Eve! So sign it! After New year's it will be emailed to government officials where they will show it to some one to present it to the court where they decide to accept it or reject it. The web adress is:

I mean the fact that you are following up on your belief is great and all but some people don't want it banned because it'll start more war if you know what I mean. People will complain and then it'll be threats and then so forth.

[The King of KH]

i dont like smokers...............

[KHManiac]

I cant say that I dont like smokers cause then I wouldnt like my mom or my dad or my uncle. I dislike smoking though and I wish they would quit. My mom was once able to quit for a full TWO years. Although, she got back on again, which really disapointed me cause she was doing so well.

Agreed! Don't hate the smoker, hate the habit they are doing.

I never hated my Grandpa and he smoked. I didn't like what he was doing but I never rejected him for it.

[Kryptik]

It's definately the habit that should be dealt with and not hated for what it is. Humanity created the habit. Every habit thats unknown and known. Some how the temptation is greater and falling into the same place and doing it again and again.
Anyways the people who have the habit shouldn't be hated for what they are doing. I mean some of us might not like it but it's just going to happen since they are part of the society we live in.

[The King of KH]

it must be really addicting..............

[VenFan]

I know it's a habit and some people just can't quit once they start, but, how do people get in the habit in the first place? I mean, knowing how bad it is should be enough for someone to say "well, I'm never going to smoke," but they do anyway. I don't hate them for it. It disappoints me when I hear about someone dying of cancer (smoking does cause cancer, for you who didn't know), so I just want to say, think about the consequences of habits and addictions before you do them. I can't stress this enough. My parents smoke, like, 24/7. It bugs me when they accidentally blow smoke in my face. I believe people should put their loved ones first before deciding to smoke, because it affects everyone around them, whether it be by second-hand smoke, or just getting others into the habit.

Well, for our parents that smoke, they didnt have the same info on smoking as we do today. Back when they were in HS they didnt know smoking caused cancer or anything like that. But today, I just dunno why people start smoking nowadays. Today we know about the consequences of smoking yet people still do it. Oh well, if they wanna do it then they can, just as long as they dont pressure it on me.

And my mom is really cool about not smoking in the house. She goes outside in our backyard to smoke, and if its to cold she goes in the garage. My dad, who dosent live with me, I live with my mom and step dad, he smokes inside and so does his fiancee, but they have never actually blown smoke in my space. My Uncle does the same thing as my mom, he goes outside. The only thing is when we my mom is in the car with me or vice-versa. Sometimes the smoke dosent go out the window and it kinda bugs me, but its not like I am getting the full faceload.

The only people in my family who don't smoke are the younger people in the family, i.e. me, cousins, brothers, sisters.

Oh my... Not this guy again... He's just going to get banned again. I don't know why he keeps on coming on here, shouting out rude things about people. Maybe something personal going on in his life.

Oh, and that was just plain rude what you said to Soul of Destiny. If he/she smokes, that's their decision. You have no right to be calling them weak-willed. We all have addictions, like your addiction to drama. Just get over yourself. And don't come back until you can behave.

Hmm, he got banned before?

[VenFan]

Yeah. He made a thread in one of the forums, and he said some pretty... bad... things for no apparent reason. I asked the moderators to ban him. The entire thread got closed down, and he hadn't posted again, or so I'm assuming. But I'm sure he was banned, because moderators don't take that kind of stuff in their forums.

EDIT: Yep, he's been banned again.

[leo]

YOU ARE A PATHETIC ASSCLOWN!!! SMOKING!?!?!? YOU'RE JUST GONNA GET CANCER AND DIE!!! I PITY YOU, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!! HAVE FUN DYING, BECAUSE I JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK!!! YOU ARE WEAK-WILLED!!! BITCH!!!

[VenFan]

Yeah, he's been banned once before. I hope the moderators banned him permanantly. Just today, someone made another account in which they kept swearing at others. Luckily, the moderators banned them... again. :D I think he made another account. He's probably just going to keep making accounts. Man, people like him just get me so angry! :mad:

I know it's a habit and some people just can't quit once they start, but, how do people get in the habit in the first place? I mean, knowing how bad it is should be enough for someone to say "well, I'm never going to smoke," but they do anyway. I don't hate them for it. It disappoints me when I hear about someone dying of cancer (smoking does cause cancer, for you who didn't know), so I just want to say, think about the consequences of habits and addictions before you do them. I can't stress this enough. My parents smoke, like, 24/7. It bugs me when they accidentally blow smoke in my face. I believe people should put their loved ones first before deciding to smoke, because it affects everyone around them, whether it be by second-hand smoke, or just getting others into the habit.

Well, for our parents that smoke, they didnt have the same info on smoking as we do today. Back when they were in HS they didnt know smoking caused cancer or anything like that. But today, I just dunno why people start smoking nowadays. Today we know about the consequences of smoking yet people still do it. Oh well, if they wanna do it then they can, just as long as they dont pressure it on me.

And my mom is really cool about not smoking in the house. She goes outside in our backyard to smoke, and if its to cold she goes in the garage. My dad, who dosent live with me, I live with my mom and step dad, he smokes inside and so does his fiancee, but they have never actually blown smoke in my space. My Uncle does the same thing as my mom, he goes outside. The only thing is when we my mom is in the car with me or vice-versa. Sometimes the smoke dosent go out the window and it kinda bugs me, but its not like I am getting the full faceload.

Anyways those who missed these post I'll repost them. As they both mentioned their families have some people who smoke, it's a common habit that needs to be broken. I guess some people don't want to or they're trying and it's extremely hard for them. As I stated in my previous post people are people living in a society. I don't mind it as long as it's not around me or in front of me. I don't like the smell of the nicotine or tobacco.

Some 7th graders at my school smoke! They even asked ME for a lighter!

[VenFan]

7th graders!?!?!?!? Wow... that's just messed up. Oh well, they're just messing up their lungs. I hope the 7th graders at my school don't smoke...

[Kryptik]

You know what really ticks me off though about this whole system. Remember Red Ribbon week!? The one day when you're not supposed to smoke, drink or do drugs? They made a whole day for it and whats the point if people are going to ignore it or the signs!?..Whats the point of signs if people are too lazy to read them!?..

[VenFan]

I know, seriously! My school made such a big deal about it, and quite frankly, I don't blame them! They held fun little events that prevented drugs and what not. The teachers gave out little wristbands and all this other stuff. That's just messed up.

Yeah thats the most screwed up part they just ignore the whole day. Apparently once you get to High School and college Red Ribbon Week doesn't even apply.. *shrugs*..
I just think it's messed up on how society works this system...

my whole generation smokes lol.................

Well some part of mine does and most of them don't. So it just depends on who you hang out with and associate with you.

i cant stand the smell man...........its the worst

I thought i'd bring this back to life, because i'm very opinionated about smoking.

I'm a 15 year old british girl who smokes, and have been smoking since I was 9 (terrible I know) and although I enjoy the practice, I in no way endorse it to anyone and actually discourage it.

I believe many people start smoking because of peer pressure, however I started because of my own accord. I think a lot of people don't balance the risks and benefits before starting, and it would benefit them to do so. Smoking is something which I enjoy doing, and I am prepared to pay the price, because I only have one life, and I want to enjoy it. Underage smoking is a big problem and I think getting hold of cigarettes is way too easy. If I couldn't get hold of cigarettes, I'd be inclined not to smoke.I also think people need to stand up to their friends more when being pressured to do things they don't want to, and this doesn't just apply to smoking.

Althgouh I smoke, I am actually against smoking, and I don't think there should be as many smokers as there are. It's a big personal choice, and I think smokers should be made to pay for their own helathcare, and not expect sympathy if they contract a smoking related illness, because it is entirely their fault.

Some of the reason for smoking is down to parents, as you are more inclined to smoke if they do, and also if they're very strict about it. For a lot of parents, it's taboo to talk about it with their children, and I think if the parents were not a strict, I don't think it would be done so much by young people. Of course, not being one to blame things on other people, it all boils down to the person and their choices, parents are just an influence.

It is a beatable addiction, for example, I can go for a month without smoking, but because I enjoy it, I do it every day. When I need to, or feel like it, I stop for a while, and I think that is better than smoking 365 days a year. I admire anyone who quits, because for some people, it is hard, and to make the decision to put down that cigarette is one of the best choices they'll ever make.

I also admire those who have tried smoking and denied it. Good on you all. Probably the best choice you'll ever make.

I'd also like to add that it smells disgusting on your clothes and such.
