Naivety won't get you far in this world. But you'll be fearless.

In other words, DON'T SMOKE. Or do drugs. Or get married. Or get married and do drugs, or vice versa. And most importantly, don't register to vote. It means jury duty.

I'm the only person at my work that doesn't smoke, but it doesn't surprise me.

I don't:
- Grown up with parents who do all the time. I have never enjoyed the smell of it.
- I've seen how much money my mom dishes out for it ... a complete waste of money.

The major point, it's a waste of money.

I couldn't tell you how many co-workers have said the exact phrases:
"Yeah don't ever start"
"Yeah I'm trying to quit" (while they pull out a cigerratte).

I just personally think there's better things to do. That's me.

I'm a little worried. Saturday, I smoked like half a cigarette. Then Sunday night I had a physical craving for a smoke. This is odd, because I smoke a cigarette maybe once a month or so. It was however getting ready to thunderstorm, which may have caused it, because I almost always smoke in the rain. I didn't have any cravongs today, though.

I never have cravings. Never. I must have smoked a total of two packs within about 2 years. Never had one craving for one cigarette *ever*. If I smoke, it's totally voluntary. Like, "I'm bored. I guess I'll smoke up."
I dunno; The reason why I do smoke is not because of cravings; it's because it's my life. Sort of like almost a rebellious act against my nazi-parents, I guess.
Snifit: People like you are the reason why people like me need medication. You kinda remind me of the whacko born-again Christians in my class who tell me I'm a bad person and I'm going to hell because of my religion. No one's a bad person for smoking, just like I'm not a bad person for being a neo-pagan. Calm down there, lightning

I absolutely detest smoking. Cigarette smoke, is in fact, one of my migraine triggers.

I had to live with a pair of chainsmokers for a few years and oh my god, my throat and nose and everything just hurt so badly pretty much all the time.

Not to mention how cigarette smoke gets into things and CLINGS to them. If only people that smoke KNEW how badly their clothing, etc smelled..

I had to wash my clothes at least twice when I moved in with my boyfriend, to get the cigarette smell out of them. I haven't gotten my stuffed animals/plushies yet, but I'm really worried about those, since I can't wash them...so they are probably ruined.

Not to mention it got into the wig fibers of my very expensive Asian ball joint doll, and I had to wash that thing at least 10 times. Eww.

Smoking is the dumbest thing to ever do. It eats up money, it harms you, it harms other people, and it makes everything else stink. Gross.

And I really hate it when people act like "it's my body, I'll do what I want with it. I'll smoke if I please!" because if that was the excuse with alcohol or some other shit, that'd be dandy. But smoking does affect other people.

I despise smoking to pretty much the largest extent that someone can, without actually telling anyone to stop it. Whenever I see topics like this, I always think of every possible downside of it. Bad smell, bad teeth, bad lungs, bad heart, earlier body-decay, hindered ability to smell or taste, always lacking funds, loss of popularity (from GOOD people, that is), hugher possibility of tumors and cancer, clothes smell, clothes can get burnt, skin can get burnt, skin/clothes can become covered in ash, you can accidentally start a forest fire, then get beaten up by bears who later inhabit your house and have non-stop crazy parties which piss off the neighbours, who're angry, yet too kind to tell you to turn off the loud music, and lots of other downsides.

My nose is VERY good at detecting cigarette smoke, while not quite being as trained at detecting cigar smoke. I can tell when someone's been smoking in a car, even if they're not currently doing so. Whenever I smell people smoking, I get away from them as fast as I can. I hold my breath, cover my mouth/nose, get away, then exhale as much as I possibly can.

The reason I don't just walk up to people and say, "Hey! Quit smoking you freaking idiot!" is because I'm afraid of what they'll do to me. They could take their lit cigarette and crunch it into my skin until it goes out, burning me badly, they could blow large puffs of smoke heavily in my direction, they could use my clothes as an ashtray, or other possible things.

I'm not saying that all smokers are bad people, it's just that they're people that aren't determined enough, don't care about their help, and/or are too stressed to concentrate on their own personal health. Though, from what I've seen, 75-90% of young (20-) smokers ARE bad people, but that probably relates to how they're doing it illegally, thus have a higher chance of doing other stuff illegally, too, making them generally bad.
