I used to volunteer cleanup at the beach and by far the most common item was cigarette butts. I don't know if that many people smoke at the beach or if they were getting washed down the nearby rivers (containing all of L.A.'s street runoff) and washing up on the shore, but they were impossible to keep up with.

And now that everyone smokes outside, we all get to smell it.
Personally I don't mind the smell, but I dislike cigarette butts. I tried smoking very briefly, but I didn't litter. Stub it out on your shoe and throw it in the can or hold onto it until there is a can. It's only polite.

God, these fucking children of the 'TRUTH' campaign are so much worse than any smoker.

I smoke cigarettes sometimes. Typically less than a pack a week. I don't smell. I don't litter. I don't inconvenience anyone.

Every person who smokes is not your fucking three-pack-a-day uncle that touched you when you were a child.

Sincerely,
Fuck You.
lol Well said. We've got kids taking unknown pills a stranger gives them at parties and lecturing people about the evils of smoking. And the absolute worst are the reformed smokers.

Oh dude I dunno about that, lol. There are a ton of complainers that will be inconvenienced if they even catch the SLIGHTEST SMELL of cig smoke from 300 yards away. "UGH DAMN SMOKERS, I DON'T WANT THAT IN MY LUNGS!" Pfffft.

So no alcohol. D:
No....wink wink wink D:
Absolutely no fucking cigarettes! Not even nicotine chewing gum. D:


He gave me sleeping pills and painkillers. But a man cannot live on pills alone. How do I substitute nicotine? I haven't had a cigarette since this evening and I'm getting the jeebies already.... :\

What do I do? Help me guys. I'm fucking drying out here. I will be dead by tomorrow without my cigarette fix. D:

I mostly quit using Chantix. A three-month hospital visit helped finish it off. But I sure miss them. I so wish that there was some way I could smoke without it being harmful. :-\

After you smoke a cigarette, yes you do. You reek like hell.

No, sorry, I don't.

You are the worst kind of person. I would wager a great deal that you are one obnoxious fuck to be around...yet you feel the need to single people out for the simple things that your small brain cannot comprehend.

You are confusing experiences with people who chain smoke inside of enclosed spaces with anyone who has ever smoked a cigarette. And that makes you fucking moronic.

Think of it this way...

Once you quit, you get to go through the fun that is starting to smoke all over again!

How awesome is that?

the real reason some people get fatter after quitting is they start to really taste the food.


Thats your greatest reward AND its like getting a raise.

Yeah, you do. You're apparently just too fucking stupid to realize it.

I'd venture that like most people, he puts up with the obnoxious, foul smelling smokers in his presence, out of fear of hurting the feelings of people too dumb to realize that they smell worse than ass.

My room temperature is 15 degrees Celsius. I'm still continuing my own special freeze the nicotine jeebies treatment. Skipped on sucking on ice cubes though.

I hit day 6 of being quit in 5 hours. Almost a week! The first four days were kind of rough but it's getting EXPONENTIALLY better now. I can't wait for another month when hopefully I only have 1 or 2 cravings a day.

Smoke or not smoke, doesn't affect me but lung cancer seems like a shitty way to go. I was tired of being a slave to the nicotine for 13 years. Also oranges taste AMAZING when they don't taste like cigarettes. Just FYI

Day 2 is going okay. I do miss my smokes very much though. I didn't smoke much before:

One with my coffee.
One in my office coffee break.
One after lunch.
One on my way home.
One in the evening with some beer.
One before I go to sleep.

Only thing was that if I got interrupted while smoking any of my ciggies. I had to start all over again thanks to my nicotine OCD. Marlboro was my brand and I had about four packs a week with one of them entirely spent on Sunday. Monday was another day I might smoke a complete pack, but that was it. I wasn't a chain smoker at any rate. This might have to change now. If I kick this up successfully, I might not even smoke again after my ankle heals.

And oh yeah, I never cared about other people smoking. Respect your fellow man's fix. That was my philosophy. This will never change even if I never smoke again.

A single cigarette makes you smell. How can you say it doesn't? It's tobacco smoke. It smells. For someone who doesn't smoke, their nose can pick up that smell easily - and it smells awful. Since you're disagreeing with him saying "sorry, I don't" (smell), I'm assuming you're a smoker. Of course you will deny that - your senses have been fucked due to smoking and your nose is used to the smell.

Of course you smell after a smoke. I wonder if your intense defensiveness is because you know you are too weak to stop smoking and you pretend you don't want to as a defense mechanism. This would explain why you so passionately hate people calling you stupid for doing it. Until you admit you have a problem you cannot stop.

With what we know about smoking now I don't even allow for people's addiction to it as an excuse. Smoking should scare the fuck out of you. On average it takes a decade off your life. It could be less. It could be more. You have a super awesome chance of dying from it.

People who claim they don't smoke much so don't have a problem are looking at it wrong. If you don't smoke much it should be that much easier to quit.

At my company we have relegated them to bus terminals far from the doors where they can go and enjoy the winter. A few years ago hr emailed us warning that if they keep seeing butts on the ground there will be repercussions. Today I saw dozens right by the main entrance and it looks disgusting. I am going to take a pic and send to he and hopefully they email the company again shaming the smokers. They will thank us later, should they find it in themselves to quit.

Yeah I can smell smoke on people from about 10 feet away and that's only after 6 days.

@Braznor I got an android app called QuitNow and it shows you how much you saved, how your health has improved etc. It's pretty neat. I've saved like 28 bucks so far :awe: might not be super accurate but it's fun.

I agree but as devils advocate you really can't judge the addiction unless you've been there. It's up there as far as addictions go.

Good for you. In real life I absolutely do not harp on smokers as I know very few who do it . I do have a close relative who does and sent them the link recently indicating that a person who quits by 40 gains back the huge bulk of that lost decade . Unfortunately some people just song have it in themselves to think long term, and that is also why this relative is fat. It is a shame their losing so many years, and it isn't like their quality of life is not taking a direct bit even before these health concerns out them in a hospital.

Actually, I disagree.

Not hard to pick up the smell of cigarette smoke. This does not mean I call them out and be an ass about it every chance I get, but if it's a really good friend I may make an occasional comment or two.

The benefit of working on PCs is when I go to a smokers house and the inside of their PC is covered in that yellow gooey shit and I realize that same shit is in their lungs. Pretty effective in keeping me from wanting to smoke.

Y'all want to die from lung cancer by all means go for it.

My buddy just had back surgery. Doctor told him the same thing. He smokes and tokes anyway and is healing fine. With that being said, he lives an unhealthy lifestyle in pretty much every way you can. I'd take this opportunity to try and quit, personally.
