I've met a lot of fatties who'd be much hotter with a smoking habit than a bon bon habit. "B.b.b..b I'm so much healthier gorging myself to death with food than having a couple smokes!" Riiiiiiight.
And while smoking is totally unhealthy, it takes like 20 years to demolish you. No one will ever convince me that alcohol isn't a much much worse drug. With a few bad decisions or scenarios, you can go from zero to sixty to dead in a couple hours. Or broken nose, broken possessions, lost possessions, STDs, embarassment, manic behavior, hangovers, depression, dizziness, vomiting, nausea, work issues, etc.
Meanwhile, a pack of smokes will make me stink, but the rest of my life will be intact for at least 20 years. Boy is it funny hearing how evil I am for smoking from a belligerent aggressive drunk two steps away from punching someone in the face or getting a DUI. Nothing beats that.
As an aside, I get a little satisfaction when nonsmokers have to face my "fog of death" on the way into a bar. We used to have bars and now we don't. Enjoy the cloud on the way in jerkwads!
I'm with you there. I also find it hilarious when I'm smoking outside and some guy arrives and is standing right beside me only to demonstratively coughs. Please don't give me that shit. You don't die from lung cancer from standing beside a smoker. People have become way too sensitive. I'm fine with people who don't like the smell and I really can live with a ban in restaurants, clubs etc. But I really don't like people who act, as if smokers were devils or something...
