From smoking one has more to loose than to gain. I have started by making my concluding remarks, now I will expalin whuy I said so. To begin with, think smoking has never and shall never helpanyone in anywhere instaed it is habbit that is harmfuul to ones life and shortening their life span. on another level it yields very nagative aspoects to those around ypu. The non smokers to be [recise who inhale the smokers exhailed smoke.

You are entitled to your opinions and so am I - I dislike smoking, its stains my teeth and fingers, makes my breath smell bad, extremely unhealthy and it hurts the people around me. I smoke because I'm addicted, if I could snap my fingers and give up I would. I'm not arrogant and I don't think it is cool. Just give up you say - well its not that easy, scientific study has proven it as hard as cocaine to give up. Yes it was peer pressure that started it all for me ( Yes, I'm ashamed of being so easily conned into it ) But at no stage have I ever been inconsiderate when I "light up", I walk a fair distance away from non-smokers, I avoid smoking in very public places, I don't smoke inside anything ( my house, car etc). I know its unhealthy, most smokers know this. Most non-smokers don't realise that most smokers are quite embarrased about their addiction. So in retrospect, don't hate smokers, hate cigarettes because I do. Thank you

I really hate smokers, I agree with you. It's like asking to die. I don't know how you get addicted to it, or why people smoke. Most people think "smoking makes you cool". They're wrong! There are tons of young children children at my school who smokes, and there is a boy in my class who has a bad addict of smoking. He actually begs people for a *BLEEP* on the streets... sad'o. I hope I don't become a smoker like others when I grow up.

Who here hate smokers? I mean, they go into a restaurant, sit in a non-smoking section, and smoke, ignoring the sign. I also want to tell everybody that 2nd hand smoking is actually worse than the smoker himself smoking it. In Houston, the mayor has already banned smoking in restaurants. Well, you know my vent, I hate it when people smoke right in front of you while you're in a casual conversation. I can't stand the smell. I know I can't just cover my nose so I usually just walk away. I think smoking should be banned and I hope it will...sometime...soon...

I do not like smokers either.
In Japan some politician say the price of 1 box of cigars(10 cigars) should be about 10 dollors(1,000 Japanese Yen) from 3 dollars(300 Yen).

I hate smokersI Hate Smokers

You sure got a lot of hate.  You should chill out. Hate is a very strong word.

What if I said something like: Take up smoking, Die, and go to hell for your blind and broad judgements.

Now, thats not nice.  I don't even know you.

Smile,   Hate is just as bad for your heart & body as cigarettes and second hand smoke.  Also, make sure you brush your teeth 3 times a day. Plaque is directly related to heart problems.

reply to everyone you hateI Hate Smokers

Yeah, hate is a strong word. But when a neighbour below you chain smokes the worst possible cigarette (in terms of my own personal reaction of splitting headaches and congestion), and it comes straight into your condo, HATE is just the thing that he is generating in me. Not the cigarette, b/c if it just sat there without an ignorant dip to light it up, there wouldn't be a problem. The hate is compounded by the arrogant stupidity (which most smokers have in no short supply), of trying to justify their right to make others suffer. They know it's affecting the health and wellbeing of everyone around them, but act like they either have the right, or their just too ignorant to realize it or care what others think. Selfishness, and weak-minded lack of resolve and no spine make them desperately cling to their right to give themselves cancer. If only they could get their various cancers QUICKLY and friggin DIE already, (without subjecting the sensible people around them to their stench and absurd arguments attitudes and excuses) then we could get on with enjoying our right to clean air, which most smokers don't seem to think we should have. So yes, hate is a strong,but accurate word for what most intelligent people should have for these disgusting things, and the idiots who smoke them, and then further display their inbred hillbilly mentality by thinking they can possibly defend their position with anything resembling reason or logic. I say throw a few hundred more chemicals into the cigarettes and we'd be free of these fools a lot sooner.

You guys...I Hate Smokers

You guys are a bunch of WUSSES!

That's nothing, you should try being forced to live with a God danged smoker, I grew up with chain smoking parents, do you have any idea how horrible it is to live in a house where about 50 ciggaretes are smoked on a daily basis? They smoked while they cooked my food, which is disgusting when you think about it because fire uses the air around it to burn, which means I was eating ciggarete flavored BBQ at our cookouts. Did you enjoy your family vacations as a child? Try being trapped in a car with 2 people who light up a ciggarete every 15-20 minutes for more than 5 hours.  I cannot stand the smell or the taste either, and if you can't either it doesnt really get better over time, I still feel sick when I have to breath someone's ciggarete smoke, smokers should not be allowed to raise children. I would have been glad to only have to live near smokers instead of trapped with them.

i hate smokers, it is disgusting to have to deal with their smoke, im not gonna point at people and tell them how to livetheir life, but come on, you cant have a little respect for the people around you?

and im talking about the people in college who smoke inside the rooms, or walk around smoking, and sit next to you smoking, i find that so disrespectful

LOL and awkard. because im one of those people whos eyes get watery and start coughing like they are having an asthma attack when someone is smoking around them.

yet getting up and moving the minute they sit next to you, is considered rude

lol what's the old saying, don't hate the player hate the game? but yes people should be respectful for the ones that who do not smoke, just as the ones that don't smoke should also consider the ones that do smoke.

Myself as an ex smoker, I understand how it is, and I respect the wishes of the ones that do not like the smell of a cigarette or cigar. It is a bad and killer of a habit that I wish that I had never started.

the way that I see it with smoking now a days is this. you do not need to hate them. the government hates them enough for all of us. and THEY have raised the tax so much, soon nobody will be smoking.
