the thing is, smoking is stupid.
why would anyone smoke if they werent addicted.
it kills you and everyone around you.
it tastes like tar, which i cant see how anyone will like that, makes you cough, even if your not coughing when you smoke, the chances of coughing at all times skyrockets, and you cant say that you like to cough. makes your clothes stink, a lot of people wont approach you, especially good looking girls, because they dont want to stink. your kisses taste like shit. everything you eat or drink tastes far worse after you have smoked,
i dont care if smokers think its ok if they smoke outside, its not. i can still smell and taste it when i walk past.
its one of the more expensive habits, around a dollar a minute. smokers leave their butts everywhere, which creates a fuck load of litter.
your chances of numerous types of cancer increase exponentially every time you smoke. and everybody around you as well.
your eyesight gets fucked, you develop allergies.
and even if you are not addicted, there is always the risk of becomming addicted.
going to night clubs is something that i used to enjoy, but i got sick of all my good clothes getting ruined because of smokers so i stopped, and ill wait till it becomes illegal to smoke in bars.
many cafes have outdoor seating, so people can have a nice meal in the sun, but its not actually like that, because people see it as an excuse to smoke while they eat, which ruins it for everyone else, so they sit inside, but then the smoke drifts inside and destroys the atmosphere of the whole place.
it destroys the value of your house if you smoke indoors, and you car. and many places dont accept smokers as tenants, so your options are reduced.
and all for what? what benefits do you get out of smoking.
and do i think there is a double standard? yes.
drinking should be treated the same as smoking. its a drug. addictive, and deadly. do i think the world would be a better place without smokers. by many orders of magnitude.
do i think the world would be a better place without alcohol. yes. there would be less violence, rape. murder. car accidents. unwanted babies.
sure you feel good when you drink, but its all phycological, just train yourself to feel the same all the time, ive done it. i now feel alive all day long, without the side effects.
sure you do stuff you wouldnt without alcohol. but if you did something while smashed, and it was great, why didnt you do it while sober, were you too chicken, you need a drug to get you to do fun stuff, thats weak, and you are weak.
sorry if its too long. but its how i feel
