Another occasion to piss on smokers? Haven't we treated them like pariahs, enough times? Why don't we do a poll on BB anal sex?
Sheessshhhhhhh! Enough!
Sheessshhhhhhh! Enough!
As I said on another thread long ago--I won't hire someone if I am aware that they have an addiction, including an addiction to tobacco.
Smoking in this day in age either means you lack intelligence--how can you not know it's so harmful--or you lack willpower. I don't want employees who lack either.

I agree.papasmerf said:I guess you would pass on a good cigar. Oh well more for me
There is a big difference between using tobacco and being addicted to it. I will admit that I am addicted to the cigarettes, but the cigars and pipe is an occasional special treat, like a good glass of scotch.
I am WOMAN ;')
lol I have not caved into the craving in six years so I think I can be considered less mouse and more woman now,,,,Rockslinger said:
Whoah,,,Defensive much?
Ummm I have not seen any 'picking on smokers',,,,,have I missed something? SMOKING just like drinking, gambling, or drugs are nasty, disgusting and horribly bad for your health but in no waydoes that mean that people who smoke, gamble, drink, or do drugs are nasty or disgusting,,,,,,,hate the disease/habit, not the patient/victim. Cigarettes are easily as addictive as cocaine from what I have heard and read,,,,starting may be a choice, once you are hooked however the choice is not so easily determined.

Mom was the same way....
My Mother fought hard for her right to smoke 2 packs of American cigs a day even while in the hospital. after she died of cancer (melanoma NOT lung) we discovered that although she always had a cig on the go she did not actually inhale it.....she smoked because she enjoyed it, the taste the smell the feeling. Her lungs were as strong and healthy as anyone's which really pissed off the Doctors who were trying like crazy to blame her demise on smoking. She loved to smoke and that was why she did it.

Unfortunately, I am a smoker. Disgusting, expensive (both health and money wise) addiction that I picked up when I was a stupid teenager who wanted to be "cool". And the worst part is that I actually LIKE smoking. I really do enjoy it. Which makes quitting even more difficult.
My plan is to quit the day I turn 30 or get my diploma. Whichever comes first.

Truth is...
I enjoyed it as well when I smoked!
I wasn't a pack-a-day smoker, but I enjoyed it and I felt relaxed when I did it. My reason for quitting came in the form of our first born child (who will be old enough to drive this summer, but not mature enough... yet! LOL). I knew it was not healthy for me, (I wasn't always the health nut I am today), but I did enjoy it. Plus, it was REALLY FARKIN expensive, and with an extra mouth to feed, well, it just made more sense to quit smoking than to keep smoking.

I used to believe that too. The truth is not that you like smoking, but that you don't like not smoking. Sounds like bad English but it's correct. Stopping the discomfort of withdrawal by having another hit is the reason you smoke. It's that simple. Hey I was in denial for 25 years, quit 2 years ago. Frees up a lot of $$$ for hobbying!
every time I see a smoker taking a drag the way their mouth purses, brow wrinkles, it looks like they are pinching a serious loaf.
Pathetically funny, disgusting.
Plain and simple, if you are a smoker you are physically ugly. And a public joke, showing everyone your bathroom habits!

Was a smoker. Quit cold turkey after WAY too many years of smoking. I am embrassed to even admit how many years I smoked for.
Hey boys and girls, we are at 142 votes cast. Ladies, remember YOU are eligible to vote in this poll. The SP/MPA/SC poll (stag only) appears to have topped out at 210. Let's shoot for at least 211 on this poll.
quiting smoking is easy
Quiting is easy. I've done it about six times myself. No one can make you quit. It's something that you'll want to do...nothing personal but smokers smell like smoke, their clothes smell like smoke. Who wants to kiss an ashtray?
