Smoking

[Cycleguy007]

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?

LMAO! Quiting is easy?! Not to get on your case or anything jim, but how would you know... You didn't really quit the first 5 times! How long has it been now?

Actually, there is really only ONE THING you need to know to quit smoking. It is really very simple...

DON"T LIGHT IT! Problem solved.

And before everyone jumps on me... that is exactly how I did it when I quit after an 11 year addiction to nicotine.

Oh, and your comment about kissing an ashtray? That's what toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouth wash and breath mints are for.

Not a smoker, never have been, but I have always felt for the plight of smokers in that smoking is hardly the only harmful vice that could affect others or be a burden on tax-payers.

However, my sympathies are lost because (vast majority of) smokers are such pigs about it! I rarely see empty booze booze bottles at the side of a road, I never see someone flick a half-eaten hamburger out their car window, but in my opinion, smokers invite all the grief they receive by making the world their very own personal ashtray. I think the government should create an environmental tax on cigarettes for the millions of cigarette butts laying around everywhere.

Use an ashtray and then maybe the rest of the world won't "piss on" smokers all the time.

Then, you should get out more, and see all the crap out in the gutters that I see, especially coming off the highway. You should also go to some high school yards, and see some condoms, booze bottloes and drug paraphenalia that I have seen. Ask yourself this question; why do you think that gulls circle around fast food parking lot joints? It is NOT just smokers messing up the world. We as a society are PIGS.

Having said all that, where did I say that I was a cigarette smoker? You assume too much by painting me with your brush, unless you know me personally. However, your point about trash is well taken. We ALL need to be cleaner and more courteous. I believe (at least, I hope) that we are both on the same page about not littering and being courteous!

Cycleguy007;

You have the great gift of strong will power. I applaud you for this. If only some of my past friends who were addicted to other terrible vices could have had this gift. It would have saved one of them his life.

Now, how do I overcome this addiction to pussy!

WTF! Why would you WANT to!

Sorry about that! I got carried away. Some body slap me the next time I say somethng stupid like that!

Cyclists have great willpower. The great cyclist, Lance Armstrong, abstains from sex for 48 hours before every race. Can you abstain from sex for even 1 hour?

 

[j_anderson]

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!

Just keep huffing semen-scented fag farts, you fucking shitbird.

18- 24 hrs is my max...

After that... I just give in to the power of the pussy!!

 

[Cycleguy007]

And yeah, there is garbage of all kinds in various places, but cigarette butts are everywhere.

True... I read a survey last fall that stated that the #1 type of litter is cigarette butts, #2 is chewed gum. I think coffee cups was up there as well...

 

[Cycleguy007]

But no one flinches over tossing a cigarette butt, it has basically become socially acceptable.

And dontcha just love it when you're driving along the highway and all of a sudden an orange glowing projectile of sparks lands on your windshield? Scares the crap out of me ever time!

With 159 votes cast so far, I must admit I am pleasantly surprised by the results so far. I would have thought that major partakers of sex (one of the 7 deadly sins) would also be major partakers of another of the deadly sins like smoking. For those who forget, the 7 deadly sins are: sex, smoking, drinking, drugs, gambling, gluttony and excessive biking.

 

[Cycleguy007]

Is this going to be you next poll?

1. sex: check
2. smoking: used to... But I quit now...
3. drinking: check (But only with captains and kings!)
4. drugs: does occasional hit off 420 count? Having said this, does this also count for smoking?
5. gambling: does $20 in 35 trips to Las Vegas count?
6. gluttony: does gluttony during DATY count?
7. excessive biking: ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!

Guess I'm going to Hell!

 

[Rockslinger]

Guess I'm going to Hell!

Yes, you are UNLESS you refrain from at least four more of the deadly sins. Then there is faint hope for redemption.

(Yes, my master plan is to do a poll on each one of the 7 deadly sins.)

Well THAT ain't gonna happen! I already quit smoking (cigarettes, never really gambled, and since gluttony during DATY is really covered by the sex one, that doesn't count... but there's no way in hell I'm giving up sex, alcohol and excessive biking or my occasional hit of 420!!!

Hey Noir... can you save me a spot in your condo? Looks like I'm headed that way!

Oh and Rock- don't bother doing the Sex poll... It will be completely screwed! Pun intended... as far as I know it will be 99.99999% in favour of it...

 

[Rockslinger]

It would be 100% if not for Virgin John.

 

[onthebottom]

I've always considered smoking one of surest ways to identify yourself as a complete idiot.

OTB

 

[Cycleguy007]

WELL DONE ROCK! That's exactly why I said 99.9999%

(That Rockslinger, he may be between projects, but he's still sharp as a bowling ball!)

It is all in one's values. Evidently, I like to pump pussy instead of pedals. However, I was once, in my yourth, an avid cyclist. I still have my old Cino, Gios and my trusty Legnano after all these years. Gotta get back on the saddle, for my health!

 

[shakenbake]

Read it again, I quoted you because you said people were pissing on the smokers, but I never was referring to you specifically.

Bob;

I am sorry about the misunderstanding on my part. We are essentially on the same page, I guess. The inconsiderate smokers are also inconsiderate litterers, and, I would venture to say, inconsiderate drivers, etc. It is just in their nature. That was the point that I intended to make.

 

[shakenbake]

My real beef with it is that if you see someone toss garbage out their car window, or on the sidewalk if they're walking, and someone sees it, they might be confronted about it (or at the very least, they'll be look down upon). But no one flinches over tossing a cigarette butt, it has basically become socially acceptable.

Not in some parts of the world, where they get charged with littering. And that is the way that it should be. Every one has to clean up after themselves.
