Yeah, lets post about HATING smokers and how they pollute the air with it. Why don't you quit driving then, your car pollutes the air. or how 'bout you quit using hair products, or certain cleaning products. Who cares if you hate smokers. What makes you any better than them? I respect people who don't smoke and I don't smoke around them. and saying that you HATE smokers, you must have a lot of hate and anger in your life, or maybe you just dont have a life. Grow up.
Thanks, Have a lovely day!!!!
:heart:

oh... whoops, forgot to put my cigarette out when posting this..... ssssss.... its out... sorry my post was clouded with my smoke!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
Okay, I'm done ranting. :bootyshake:
-
complainers who complain about... complaining.
that's the best.

My mom always says she hates smokers. I think it's somewhat judgemental. I mean just because a person has one habit that you don't approve of doesn't give anyone grounds to hate them. I hate when people smoke around me. I cought like a maniac. But I wouldn't go as far as saying I hate smokers. I mean everyone is addicted to something. Everyone has habits. Why hate?
-
I don't smoke and I don't let anyone smoke around my kids.
But I don't hate smokers...
There is too much hate in the world today...
-
i don't smoke and have nothing against persons that do but i hate when people smokes around me
-
I don't hate smokers, but it is nice when they are somewhat considerate (within reason) around non-smokers.
If there is a wide range of space, don't stand next to me and blow smoke in my direction.
Conversely, if it is a tight area and not much room, then it should be up to me to move away if I do not like the smoke, because the smoker is within their right to light up.

i smoke and i try to be considerate of the people around me........

Smokers are whiners and drug addicts and that there is a reason to love them not hate them. I admire that they are slaves to a little death stick and can't go anywhere or do anything with out planning their day out around their addiction erm, I mean little habit. Plus what else is more sexy than a smoker? I love women who smoke it just gets me going I tell you! Their beautiful yellow teeth. Every wrinkle on their faces. The way they smell. The way they talk with their deep gravel like men voices. The way they hack and cough. The way they can't run very far and blow smoke rings out of the hole in their throats/neck. It sexy. Oh and it is a great way to waste money.....nice and pricey.
Just one question about your little comment: How does smoking cigarettes make someone a drug addict?
I completely understand your thoughts on everything else, but that one statement made me laugh... a little. ;)
I am actually trying to quit. I've cut back a lot, so, so far, so good.
Sorry for my ranting on this post, it was in regards to someone elses goofy post.. I just had to let it out. ;D I titled it the way I did because I found it humorous ;)

Definition of DRUG
1a obsolete : a substance used in dyeing or chemical operations b : a substance used as a medication or in the preparation of medication c according to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (1) : a substance recognized in an official pharmacopoeia or formulary (2) : a substance intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease (3) : a substance other than food intended to affect the structure or function of the body (4) : a substance intended for use as a component of a medicine but not a device or a component, part, or accessory of a device
2: a commodity that is not salable or for which there is no demand —used in the phrase drug on the market
3: something and often an illegal substance that causes addiction, habituation, or a marked change in consciousness
From wikipedia on nicotine: According to the American Heart Association, nicotine addiction has historically been one of the hardest addictions to break, while the pharmacological and behavioral characteristics that determine tobacco addiction are similar to those that determine addiction to drugs such as heroin and cocaine.
Also from wikipedia: Modern research shows that nicotine acts on the brain to produce a number of effects. Specifically, its addictive nature has been found to show that nicotine activates reward pathways—the circuitry within the brain that regulates feelings of pleasure and euphoria.
That is why it was called a drug, because it is one.

Your entitled to your opinion, but I am not a drug addict.

Congratulations. I am glad you can quit smoking without suffering from the withdrawal symptoms or urges that an addict might suffer from. I wish you the best of luck on quitting.
(Please note that this is completely without sarcasm. "Speaking" through written word can be so touchy.)

So many times people use the word hate and they do not really mean it. It would be better to say that someone objects or dislikes the practice of people smoking nearby or in front of non smokers who are concerned about the strong burning odor and the health risks.
-
I don't hate anyone! P.S.!! I smoke. Cough cough. :angel12:
-
I don't hate smokers necessarily, but what reason is there to like a smoker?
-
I dont smoke but i dont hate smokers.....just hate the smoke sometime.
-
I don't hate smokers, but I can't be around smoke or smokers beause it gives me such a bad headache and the smell is really awful.
-
People who complain all the time probably aren't very happy people.
-
My daughter is 17 years old and complains about every little thing imaginable. I was hoping it was a faze but it has been going on for a few years so I am wondering if a faze can last that long or is it just her.

Are you serious? Because everyone no matter what they do they are human. Humans have rights, feelings and just maybe from what you posted more intelligence than you.
-
I hate people who hate people

LMAO!! :thumbsup: ;D

Wow! Aren't you going a little over board. I didn't say they shouldn't have rights nor did I say they didn't have feelings did I? A smoker is someone who smokes. Why would I like a "smoker." As for whether they're human or not isn't the deciding factor here is it? I can have a friend that is a smoker, but dislike that she is A SMOKER. F- off you nitwit and don't take other peoples opinion out of proportion.

people need to get a life and stay out of mine.
-

she stills does that too me even tho im married with 2 kids... uggghhh but i try to be a better person and let it go
-
yeah I hear ya, it can be rough sometimes

You all talk about hating and not hating smokers. I find it kind of funny because a lot of smokers do not fit the stereo type people put on smokers. I been on the job for three weeks now. My manager just found out today that I smoked. He looked at me with this incredulous look and said I did not know you smoked. Neither me nor my clothes smell like smoke. Neither my teeth nor my finger nails are yellow. So how do you know I am a smoker unless you see me smoke? Yes I am slowly trying to quit. Maybe smoking is considered a drug. It is known to curb your appetite. Last time I stopped smoking I gained way too much weight. Is it an addiction. Yes. Is it a certain type of person? No. Just because a person smokes does not mean you have to hate smokers. You can dislike what they do but if you like them you have to accept them everything they are. If you hate one part of them then you dont really like them for who they are. For some people Alcohol is an out let others dancing or playing games. That is all cigerettes are for a lot of smokers. It is an outlet. Me personnally I prefer some who likes to smoke over some one who likes to drink.

Life is to short to judge people, I don't hate anyone.
-
Some people would not be able to function in this world if they weren't complaining about something! So sad but true!

I agree I learned a long time ago hate is a wasted emotion and usually feeds the fire.

This is true also. Some people live to complain. They just can not be happy for nothing.
-
I just read each of the postings on smoking, I am really sad for the people who do all the hating in this world. Smokers and Non Smokers, Drug Addicts and Non drug addicts, drinkers and non drinkers, we are all part of the human race, we all have our so called demons, I think I will spend my time clicking of offers to make money verses wasting all my energy on hating anyone. I am far from perfect, and so is most of the rest of the world. Just saying. I will leave judgement to someone or something far greater than I.

:thumbsup:
-
Everyone has their vices, no need to judge people based on them. It really doesn't get you anywhere in life..
-
buttom line..unhappy..but there is always someone who will listen..who in turn complains to someone else about the complainer.not making light of your post..cause we all go through it..here it..everyone needs someone to talk to..or just someone to listen! support them or walk away!
-
the only reason i would hate is a smoker is if they are really hot *nudge**nudge* and it makes them completely un-datable for me because of the smoke induced migraines and ashtray mouth.
P.S i don't really hate anyone, just dislike the fact that it makes them unavailable. ;)
-
For the record, I promise I don't really hate anyone. ;) I don't have time to hate anyone. But on a different note: DAY 2 OF NO CIGARETTES!!!! YAY!!!!!!!
-

I don't care if people smoke as long as they're considerate. If you blow smoke in my face, I probably won't appreciate it.

I don't have anything against smokers. Just that they do it in designated areas.

And on a happy, yay-for-me note: 9 days, only 1 cigarette!!! YAY!!!
-
yes yes! my mom hehe but i love her :p
-
Agreeable, but aren't you complaining about complaining?
-
I actually like the smell of tobacco smoke, but I have severe asthma. For me, more than a few minutes of smoke can lead to bronchitis and lost workdays. If someone lights up, I must get away as fast as possible or put on a charcoal filter respirator. Before indoor smoking was banned, I remember having to rush out of cafes & restaurants because a group of smokers would come in & I knew they would probably tell me to f#$% off if I asked them to stop!!!
-
complainers who complain about... complaining.
that's the best.
LOL

ya...i do hate people like that....and about smokers as u say.
