Smoking is gross. It stinks, you stink, everything around you stinks.

I just remembered on Saturday, freaked me the fuck out when I was watching Vikings. Main hottie dude, Ragnar, is getting obliterated in his fight against France, I'm totally into my show and I hear someone run up my deck steps and open my front door and walk in yelling, "Hey, Chris! Chris, you around?!" I jumped up out of my chair and ran to the entry way telling this loser, "Heyyyyy!!!! You can't be just walking in people's houses, get out!" And he was smoking a cig... in my house! So so stinky. He backed out asking for Chris, I'm like dude, you have the wrong address. He's all apologetic and I just shook my head at him NO, said don't be walking in my house and closed it in his face.

Then my entry way stank. Not only was I freaked out but the stank was all around me. Loser got in his car and drove across the street to the new neighbors that moved in. I guess the dickwad didn't realize there are two corner houses that are both blue.

The skin will turn to rubber, but the meat is good.

Salmon, of course, is slang for hash over here.

I dated a smoker who tried the patch but gave up.

She couldn't keep them lit.

Over here cigarettes are between $25 - $35 a pack. That's paying someone a lot of money to slowly kill you.

Holy shit! There are drug habits cheaper. Or should I say illegal drug habits that are cheaper. 10$ a pack in Canada. Although you can get smokes of native reserves for 30$ but not a premium brand and a carton in a bag for 20$.

You don't notice the smell until you quit or are a non-smoker. It is gross. I used to smoke and now it's like EEW! when you smell it.

Carbon monoxide bonds 300% better to hemoglobin then oxygen. Also constricts arteries. If I was still smoking I would be dead now with my heart condition.

Funny but smoking pot does not have same effect on heart. I always thought smoke in lungs is smoke in lungs. I guess not.

The powers that be have decided that by 2020 they will be over $40/pack. Crazy taxes on them but I guess it weighs out because they (in the form of those who consume them) cost our "free" healthcare a mint.

Great work giving them up!

In the UK, if all smokers gave up, our National Health Service would be bankrupt.

Why?

1. Smokers pay substantial taxes.
2. Smokers die young and the main drain on the NHS is the elderly.
3. Smokers cost far less for the NHS than obesity.

Well, this was surprisingly civil.....whereas shallow, insensitive threads about fat people - as opposed to people reeking like ashtrays - watch out.

Smoke Free

Maybe if only fat alcoholics smoke they will eventually die out and we can pick on someone else.

I smoked one cigar when a friend's wife had a baby. Nasty! The big black cigar. Not sure about the baby!
Tried a few puffs on a cigarette when all my friends told me I need to smoke.
I bought a few candy bars instead and have been happy never smoking.

My parents and my wife's parents smoked nonstop. it's a wonder the secondary smoke didn't kill us.
I worked in a tiny office with a guy that looked like Alfred E. Nuemen, with the same name, who had a cigarette in his mouth and another in the ashtray and I lived.

I worked in a factory where co-workers sat beside me and smoked during lunch. I bitched but it was their right to smoke.

When smoking was banned I laughed at all of those mother fuckers!

Technically smoking is an addiction. Nicotine is in the same chemical family as cocaine and has definite withdrawal symptoms. Overeating is not an addiction and can be quit much easier. Obesity has just as many medical costs as smoking.

People for the most part, yes there are overeating disorders I am sure, choose to be fat. They choose to over indulge in bad foods and not exercise excess weight away.

Yes smokers also make a choice. Chances are at an early age due to peer pressure and Hollywood making it look cool. And once you are hooked you are addicted. The same cannot be said for over eating. Unless you are a slave to the TV and advertisements and cannot make good choices for yourself as an adult.

I used a Nicorette mister as a stop smoking aid. Technically nicotine is not all that harmful. It is the smoking delivery system that hurts. In small doses it is a stress reliever. In large doses a stimulant. Also suppresses appetite.

I will admit to having a bias. I am a skinny ex-smoker not an obese couch potato.

That's another intolerent thread and often not so shallow!

No smoking in bars and restaurants started up here as a form of worker protection. Servers were dying of lung cancer. Cigarettes have over 1300 chemicals in their smoke. At least 7 are class A carcinogens. I remember bars blue with smoke. When I worked for a major international chemical company to enter such and environment would have meant 2 hours of paperwork including confined space entry and lots of PPE with pumped in outside air.

No one chooses to be fat. Not everyone who is overweight indulges in bad food and doesn't exercise. If only it were that easy! It's not. I remember my godmother, a beautiful, zaftig woman who struggled her entire life with being overweight, despite eating well and being very active. The last time I saw her, she was almost gaunt. She laughed... she said the plus side of dying of breast cancer was that she was thin for the first time in her life.
