i don't think highly of people who smoke but I think much less of people who think it's cool. at least if you're embarrassed and apologetic about it I will still consider you a person.
Americans are lame, aren't they?
not in this aspect, they have better attitude towards smoking than most of the world
I wouldn't say that. In most of the world it is discouraged, but in the US they are zealots when it comes to smoking.
There is nothing criminal about smoking, and people should not be ostracized for it.
It's a serious public health concern. It affects everyone.
It affects everyone that smokes.
yeah because the smoke carefully avoids nonsmokers.
In my experience it seeks out nonsmoker's.
It doesn't affect me to inhale the second-hand smoke of the asshole smoking at the table next to me? I think it does.
So, the health effects of smoking are born only by the smoker? There are no economic impacts on the general public? Not to mention second-hand smoke.
Having a healthier society benefits everyone. Having a large portion of the population engage in behaviors that hurt public health is harmful to everyone.
That isn't to say it should be illegal necessarily, but it should be heavily discouraged. That includes by government policy.
Because second-hand smoke doesn't exist...
Fuck smokers! hahaha. Mmm lung cancer, sounds awesome
it should be criminal and people certainly should be ostracized for it. fuck smokers. I'd rather have heroin addicts in my vicinity.
Did a smoker fuck your wife, by any chance?
you're the one cucking for smokers so I don't know what you mean. but my wife doesn't smell like shit all the time so I can safely say no.
smokers infringe on the rights of everyone around them. they can suck shit. hell, they'd probably stink less if they did.
Sounds like projection. Stop smoking my dude lmao
the trauma is your disgusting smell. you do realize you stink an entire room before you even fully get through the door. it's no different than covering your entire body and especially your mouth with literal shit. you will get used to the smell but everywhere you go will smell like shit to everyone else.
