Well it's not really that I don't like people that smoke. I know several RESPECTFUL smokers that I like. It's just that most people who smoke seem to be very disrespectful about it. Like my friends who smoke if we are outside bs'ing and he lights up, he will blow the smoke up in the air and away from people not like all around and into people's faces and crap.

Wow, I cant even believe that you would hang out with losers who ruin the beautiful bay area air by blowing smoke up in the air.

I think smokers should have to eat their cigs after smoking so they don't sit there and smolder all over other people.

Seriously...I've been up in San Fran and...it's really nice I like it...nice bay breeze and all and then WHAM a damn smoker screwing up all the nice air.

I believe that my right to breath clean air supercedes their right to smoke. We should make them wear special helmets that keep all the smoke they exhale right around their heads. Maybe they would stop then.

But what I really really hate is the people I see smoking in their house or smoking in their car with kids in the car or in the house. While I tolerate smokers...the ones that do this should be shot.


I carry around a bag of asbestos and whenever a smoker blows their cancerous chemicals in my face I throw a handful at them.

I sometimes go on a fishing boat out to sea on a fishing trip and some idiots light up standing right next to other people. Not only is that rude when the wind blows the smoke right in other peoples faces, it also vehmently increases nausea caused by seasickness.
Totally sucks when some people are so inconsiderate. Last time I told one smoker to stop since the kid next to me was feeling pretty sick but the jackass refused to do so.

The argument of 'well other people do stuff that's not as offensive and if you don't care about that you can't care about anything' seemed, at first, to be sort of logically inconsistent, but the waaaaambulance argument was so convincing that you won me over.
