I am a smoker and I am sick of smoking. I cannot give it up! It is so hard, i find it easier to stop drugs and alcohol then nicotine. I don't understand why people get so upset with the smokers of this world. Get mad at the people who created the legal substance and marketed it to the past generations slowly but surely getting more addicted clients. I am mad at the Tobacco industries and Government support - along with advertising Showing smoking in movies and t.v like it is the coolest thing ever to do. Then before you know it you have all these diseases and illnesses from it. Not to mention how expensive it is to buy all the quit nicotine products. It's cheaper to keep smoking.
So instead of blaming yourself you blame everyone else? People are always trying to make money from you, and in the end it's all up to yourself if you want to give it to them.
As long as it's outside I could care less, but inside I hate the smell of it and it just sits in the room.
i'm a smoker, tried to quite twice now, but all failed because when i see my co-workers smoke, it's like automatic.... now that said, I do not smoke when there are non-smokers around me, however If i feel an urge to smoke, I make sure it's far from non-smokers (usually i'm isolated and make sure i'm at least 20-30 feet away from other people), especially the kids. but even as a smoker, i hate the smell of 2nd hand smoke, when i'm hit with 2nd hand smoke i try to even it out by smoking my self, so i don't smell the 2nd hand smoke anymore.. it's weird, but that's how it is. i'm sure other smokers will feel the same about 2nd hand smoking.
I'm sure that smoking in public places is impolite and even disgusting habit. I don't want to smell that stinky smoke and don't understand why it's so addictive to humans. I think that smoking is equal to sucking reflex and can be judged like one of the most stupid habits at all.
IT's their freedom , but i think if you have a high quality , you will not smoke in the public place for you will consider others !
In my honest opinion, I call such people passive terrorist because they doesn't kills directly but they hurts in indirect manner. So if anyone do this, should be requested to stop this and still he doesn't understand than put such kinda people into Jail as they don't have right to play with others' health.
I blame myself for being manipulated into the most stupid and disgusting habits of all time and at the same time all smokers are feeding the cunningly deceptive greed mongers. I don't know what makes me more angry. The fact the most addictive drug is legal or that they're still getting away with it. Just as bad as gambling! I hear you, i feel exactly the same way. I am trying really hard to ween myself off smoking by hanging around my non-smoking friends a lot more so the urge to light up doesn't control me. I have tried the patches, the gum, the mints and nothing has worked. So hopefully this positive change will take effect. Fingers crossed.
