If you don't, you should.

Tobacco alone isn't necessarily the most evil thing in the world, but the additives and chemicals used throughout the creation process is. How can you not feel a little cheated? Don't you ever stop and shake your head at the sheer cost of maintaining such a pointless addiction? I'm glad I'm not having to pay big tobacco thousands of dollars, just to poison me.

Awww...

When I come over to your house, hold you at gunpoint, and force you to smoke a carton of cigarettes... then we can talk.

Otherwise, STFU.

It's funny how many people are actually offended by these types of questions. Are you a little sensitive about your addictions?

The amount of chemicals they put in cigarettes is horrible. While I detest smoking, I don't make a nuisance of myself.

reminds me today i was outside RiteAid...this mom was carting along her two small kids and smokin the
hell out...i was looking at something near the door and had to split...

so her two kids were just idling, ...they had to wait for her to finish her smokes before they could
all enter the store..
i dun particularly care about smokers and have smoking friends but somehow stuff like this is just wrong...

I think it's relevant.
If you can honestly tell me that you can justify spending money on something that detracts from your life, as opposed to a sustenance, regardless of where you purcahsed it, . . . sorry to hear that. ;)

I don't smoke, never have. I don't do drugs. I do not suffer from any of these addictions that you so readily mock.

What I am mocking is your need to come into a forum and post such a blatant piece of flamebait. Is this helping you compensate for your lack of anything relevent to say elsewhere in your life?

Mind your own business Phuz. If people want to smoke, let them.

I can say the same sort of things about drinking...

No, now we're talking about why you're such an ass.

Why do you care?

I'm touchy about people telling me how to live my life. The choices I make are my own, and I understand the consequences. Do you see me telling you how to live? No, so mind your own business.

So, did you go to school to be a tool or does it come naturally?

first of all, its additives and chemicals "ARE", but secondly if you think chemicals and additives are the most evil thing in the world you must be 10 :). Hey everyone! Watch out for those evil additives, they're going to take over the world!!

I'm not sure where I made a 'suggestion' on how you should live your life?

Of course the choices you make are your own. And thats fine. I'm asking about a specific choice you've made in your life.
Would you get mad at me if I asked you why you bought a black car? No?

If it bothers you that much, you shouldn't have made it so obvious as to how ashamed you are of your addition.
Otherwise, the sentence I've underlined in you're previous statement would have been all you needed to say.

I don't think anyone's ashamed. We pretty much think you are a tool who posted some flamebait.
