<p>I don't know if I'm alone in thinking this, but it really bugs me when people smoke. Booze, pot, cigars, even ecstasy doesn't bother me as much as cigarettes do. All those anti-tobacco people must've done a really really good job convincing me because whenever I see a friend of mine lighting a cig, all I can think of is puff=addiction=cancer=death. I think it's the frequency factor: drinkers and pot smokers usually wait for weekends, but smokers seem to be smoking at every given opportunity. The spectre of addiction is much more obvious. And if I liked a girl but then saw her smoking, I wouldn't necessarily lose all feelings for her, but it'd be like an unattractive brick wall hitting me at 50 mph.</p>
<p>Okay. Good job feeding into the stupid Anti-Smoking campaign.</p>
<p>Plus, cigarette smoke is reaallly annoying. My parents are both chain-smokers, and the smoke gets everywhere and it's so hard to get out of clothing and objects.</p>
<p>I absolutely hate smoking too. I don't care if people ruin their own health, but I don't think it should be allowed in public places so their secondhand smoke will affect everyone else. It smells terrible, sticks to clothes, makes your teeth look terrible, costs a lot......I could go on on how much I hate cigarettes.</p>
<p>I hate smoking because it increases medical costs(basically taxes) for everyone in this country. Smoking cigarettes does nothing for you.</p>
<p>I don't care if people smoke as its none of my business, I just don't want to smell it or be enclosed with it.</p>
<p>I love smokefree NY
especially when going out to dinner!</p>
<p>i know what you mean. my grandmother smokes, and when im at her house i dont notice it as much but when i get home and smell the clothes i wore at her house, you can so tell i smell like smoke. it grosses me out.</p>
<p>As long as someone is not smoking in close proximity to me inside a closed room I have no problem. Other people can kill their lungs, and I have no right to interfere.</p>
<p>hahaha, how old are you people?</p>
<p>Anywhere from 13 to 18 and higher. I assume you are a college student?</p>
<p>I once saw a poster (on public transit too) that said "Kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray". </p>
<p>If that doesn't make you want to stop/not smoke in the first place...</p>
<p>Well, that and the fact that my grandparents both smoke and have both been hospitalized for it (heart attack and anurism). Scary stuff.</p>
<p>I do remember that when my father moved into his first apartment, the windows were yellowish-black because a chain smoker lived there for ten years before he arrived. He went out the next day and bought four bottles of Windex, which gave back the original clearness after a viscous yellow liquid-tar and nicotine remains-rolled off the window into mutiple buckets.</p>
<p>I don't like smoking but I think its hypocritical of 'uber accepting' liberals to condemn it. It's a free country.</p>
<p>"I hate smoking because it increases medical costs(basically taxes) for everyone in this country. Smoking cigarettes does nothing for you."</p>
<p>Do you want to ban hamburgers too?</p>
<p>I'm not for smoking, but I think smokers should be left alone if they're not indoors. Not allowing them to smoke outside in some cities is a little outrageous. And this is coming from one of 'those liberals', Purest.</p>
<p>looks fun.</p>
<p>I'm 18. I figure a cigar once every few months can't kill you.</p>
<p>No, the person in that picture looks like a 30-year chain smoker. Quite different from enjoying a cigar once in a while.</p>
<p>It's sad that kids aren't taught more about propaganda in schools. So many anti-cigarette commercials, and especially anti-marijuana commercials, are full of logical fallacies and false correlations... Just look at that ad...</p>
<p>I do know that there is a large mix of fallacy and fact in commercials-after all, it is called advertising, not fact.</p>
