I happen to be a smoker...I am tryin to quit now because my doctor won't give me birth control...but no we don't hide our addiction but we don't shove it in people's faces...in fact when non-smokers come near to me while I am smoking I walk away from them blow my smoke out and put out my ciggarette if I feel like this person needs to speak to me...I hate when non-smokers come over to where I am smoking(usually a designated smoking area) and do their cough sputter shit...Its not as if I am being rude to them and smoking in places where other people are not...I try to be considerate of non-smokers. I just wish they would show the same courtesy. And for the whole is it sexy question...yes when the person is young and knows how to weild the ciggy in the right way...but then again anything that is young and knows how to weild is sexy...I will tell you what isn't sexy...coughing that never goes away and the smell and film it leaves behind...I cleaned my grandmas house and it had a yellow film all over the walls and all over the windows...it was disgusting.

think key word "often" not always...and most places I go I find rude folks outside shop doors smoking cigarettes and acting like the patrons are interrupting them...when infact many times they that do that are employees who might be damaging not just their health, and that of others, but the revenue of their employers because they just don't give a shit that others don't like the stench of their habit. Granted most of these folks are also very young...read 18-19 and up to mid 20's as average

your attitude is rare...and welcome

[Chicago69]

No...

Take a look at smokers who come to a health club and try to workout: there's nothing sexy about someone taking 2 steps on a treadmill and getting short of breath, unable to do a full set of reps in the weight room or finish a group exercise class that doesn't even have a cardio segment.

Wow. That really does say a lot.

I hope you make attempt number 6 and that you succeed.

No, smoking isn't sexy. Smokers want to believe that it is, but it isn't.

I don't understand why someone who is dating and trying to find a mate would still be smoking. You're cutting out SO many people from your dating pool, even if you won't admit it to yourself. Non smokers generally want nothing to do with you.

See, that's fine with me. I wouldn't date a non smoker. Unless of course they had no problem with my addiction.
Non smokers can be very annoying.

Ex-smokers are the worst.

This is exactly what I don't get: We know the reality of cigarettes today, the damage they cause. There's nothing sexy about emphysema. The stench is nasty. Even the accelerated aging is ugly and sad. But people still find that sexy. So is the point that destruction is sexy? *turns green* eww.

When I was young I thought it was the thing to do. I changed my mind over twenty years ago and I'm glad I did, since then it killed my Mom, damn near killed my sister, and has done life threatening damage to my brother.

Sexy though, ain't it?

I guess some think so, but I don't remember my blood flow changing direction when I lit up or woke up coughing in the morning.

this statement may be construed as caustic, but i can be insulted only so much, and this is an indictment of non-smokers in general, and no one here in particular.

Non-smokers seem to say smokers should bend over backwards to accomodate non-smokers, but are entirely unwilling to even treat smokers like equals.

I always do my best to not breath my smoke on people, but at the same time non-smokers could at least stop being assholes to smokers. We're people too, you self-righteous swine.

My mother takes 36 pills a day to keep her heart going. All the damage was caused by smoking, according to the countless doctors and surgeons who've treated her. Were it not for modern medicine, she'd have kicked the bucked a long time ago.
The same can be said about my step father.
It hasn't stopped them from smoking, they are both unable to walk across a room without turning blue and needing to sit down, but they're still at it.

I know quitting is hard, it takes self discipline and perseverance but the alternative seems so much worse.

Don't be fooled. You can be insulted a lot more than this. Smokers are given much greater allowances than trumpet players.

Its possible to have all the sympathy in the world for your addiction and still see no reason to allow you to diminish the quality of my life.

Trumpet players are people too, but have you ever tried to eat lunch while one practiced scales at the table?

[hotguy1234]

Smoking isn't sexy


And thankfully laws have changed here so smokers can't smoke inside any public building at all. So even on the coldest winter day they have to freeze their ass standing outside to smoke, and I can enjoy fresh air in the restaurant, hotel, apts, offices around here.

it was an aggregate insult total for the day, not just because of this thread.

and in any case, people sit around feeling superior to trumpet players

[classclown]

Nothin sexy about smoking.

[adabbaduli]

I really don't care for chicks that smoke.

[deathbypickle]

FUCK NO

Is lung cancer sexy?

Smoking looks silly, there's nothing visually sexy about someone sucking on a stinky can lollipop.

[lovetoread]

I have spent the last 2 weeks surrounded by smoking people.

It's gross.

[LilRedRottnHood]

Yuck.

My dad quit smoking a little over a year ago when he had to get the stent put in his heart, and the house is finally getting over that "goddamn someone smokes in here" stink. Now at work just about every employee there smokes then they come stand near me and I get scared the smell will rub off on me or something.

They should make a Febreze for that.
