The problem with the actual smell is that it gets sour fast. I'm not a smoker, but my parents used to be. The smell of tobacco burning isn't that bad. The problem is after it has burnt, settled, and then left to ripen and sour a bit. When people smoke, that smell gets attached to everything: clothes, hair, skin, nails, and anything around them. Then that smell starts to sour fast. It ends up reeking really bad.

There are things people can do to prevent it from smelling too bad. Always smoke in a well ventilated area so the smoke doesn't have as much time to linger and attach to yourself. Always brush your teeth, use some mouthwash, or even use a few mints at least after every smoke. Just those two things along cut down drastically on how bad a smoker smells.

But most smokers don't care how bad they smell. Most are so desensitized to the smell, they fail to realized how bad it really can be and usually is.

Washing your hands after smoking also reduces the smell.

I don't smoke, but good job on looking like morons for assuming I do. I can just understand the right people have to do something that was considered socially acceptable and even expected not more than a couple decades ago. It wasn't until recently that people started bitching.

But while we're at it, please stay away from me if you wear strong perfume or cologne. Also stay away from me if you're eating seafood. Please do not be in my presence if you use a body wash or shampoo that I haven't picked out myself. Also, if you're going to cook a meal in my apartment, please get my permission first because I might find the smell offensive and I'd like you to stop. I'm a reasonable person, I just want everything to be absolutely perfect according to my specifications and I'd like you to accommodate me at your own expense, because I'm a whiny intolerant little bitch.

Sincerely,
Your friend,
Fuck you.

OK, the big difference you're overlooking here is none of the stuff you mentioned is hazardous to ones health. Smoking, second hand smoke, and even smoking residue ARE hazardous to anyone that comes into contact with it.

If it smelled bad and that was it, I wouldn't care so much. But smokers might as well have a thin cloud of Sarin spewing off of them, because it's nearly as dangerous.

Just because what I don't like doesn't match up with what you don't like doesn't make my argument any less valid, or yours any less ridiculous.

No doubt I agree. I can also find about 100x the people that agree with me that pointing and laughing at smokers who stink is much more appropriate than complaining about what someone is cooking for dinner in their apartment. One is a lifestyle, the other is someone looking to complain for the sake of complaining because they think it makes people who make fun of smokers look silly. I'm seriously assuming you're kidding, because nobody can be that stupid.

I'm assuming you're joking around because it's the internet. If you're actually serious and think these are comparable, then I'd rather not respond to any more of your posts in this thread.

It's absolutely, 100% comparable.If you can't see that, I'd prefer you didn't respond to my posts, because you have thinking issues...

Wow, you really are an idiot if you think any kind of statistics apply to this. You're being a whiny bitch, get over it.

Wait, this is coming from a guy who compared smoking to what you're cooking for dinner?

What does that make you exactly, except repeatedly embarrassing yourself?

You don't understand the comparison because you're biased against it. That's not a fault of mine, but rather a fault of yours.

Too rich for my blood, you win. I will now back off in defeat as you lead the world of smokers, cologne wearers, apartment food cooking people, Red Lobster fans, and body wash connoisseurs to glory.

Thanks for conceding. Now we can put this all behind us and everyone can live together peacefully without freaking out on each other over the stupidest shit.

You quit?

C'mon, I know you've said before you smoke.

I don't like how you signed off. I can be friends with smokers, hell, my sister smokes and I still love her. She just stinks.

Sincerely,
Your friend

I concur. Screw your stink smokers. Stop doing that.

Its not the same as perfume. Its a very objectionable odor that you don't know you permeate. Covering it up makes it worse. The only fix is to not smoke. Nothing against you, just like mosh says, I could and am friends with smokers. They just stink and have to waste time by stopping doing stuff every hour.

I used to do it too, I've been on both sides. Anyone can search around here and find my anti-smoking rants now that I've become an asshole former smoker.

i like how all of the vehement anti-smokers are so certain of the personality and intentions of all of those who smoke.

It must be a wonderful thing to be able to see into the heads of complete strangers and understand who they are, why they do the things they do...just like that!

you're all a bunch of fucking douchecanoes.

PS: I don't smoke cigarettes. hate 'em. I hate you crazy anti-smokers even more, though.

Count me in.

I consider myself a rather tolerant human being and it really irks me when people judge others based on how they choose to live their life, but smokers who inflict their habit on others are not only weak little souls, but they're selfish and narcissistic, too.

I watched my grandfather die of emphysema as my mother, grandmother, and aunts all huddled around the kitchen table not ten feet away as they tried to bury their sorrow under nicotine and tar. For years growing up, I begged them not to smoke so much - not only because I lived with an 18-year headache - but because I wanted them to live long, healthy lives. They continued, anyway.

No, they're not comparable. You might find breathing in the scent of Vietnamese food offensive, but it's not a threat to your health. If you can't acknowledge that fundamental fact, you're either not being honest with us/yourself or YOU have thinking issues. This isn't debatable; no one is stating an opinion on this - it's simply a fact.

They're exactly comparable. A lot of food is cancerous to breathe over time, and that's not counting acute allergies. Diesels are proven to have higher ground level pollution compared to gasoline engines. Leaf blowers are useless by every single measure, and have the unique ability to offend every sense, from sight, to sound, to smell. Add in the cancerous exhaust, and it's just the perfect item all around.

The problem is it's become ok to discriminate against tobacco users, so all the self rightious twats feel the need to do so at every opportunity. If you eat meat, drive a car, live in a house, wear manufactured clothes, operate a computer... You can just shut the fuck up, because you're harming your health, my health, and pissing me off. You're not living any gilded life, and the choices you find pleasure in, are harming someone else.

You're right. I'm self righteous because I find smokers to be disgusting and have never thought twice about my Vietnamese cooking neighbors who drive diesel engines and clean their yard. I'M FUCKING SORRY YOURE RIGHT.

This shit is golden, I wonder if it's too big to put in a sig?
