<p>Especially the girls who do it. They think it's really sexy and makes them look hot. It's not! This is not the 1940's anymore. I equate smokers with old wrinkled hags or that lady who smoked through the hole in her neck. It's a disgusting habit - it's one of the biggest turnoffs. Not that I'd want to date either but I'd rather date a [slang term for a female dog] than a smoker. Last year I turned down a good looking girl for 1 reason, she was a chain smoker. Really nice person and very good looking, but was smoking like a chimney. One of my friends smokes, probably a pack every 2-3 weeks, but I always avoid him when he's lighting up.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the only thing worse than a smoker is a whore (obviously Im not including rapists and murders).</p>
<p>Yeah I live in Germany and all my friends smoke. I take it back 90% of my class smokes. I guess I've gotten used to the secondhand smoke, but either way they are contributing to my early death. In summary, I can't wait to get back to america.</p>
<p>Why do you feel it neccesary to bit ch about things you don't like. If you don't like it, change it. Since you can't change this one, shut the fu ck up. What made you think anyone cares about your opinion on this matter anyways?</p>
<p>Thank you for sharing your personal tastes with us. However, this is an internet forum where there is no danger of 2ndhand smoke. So calm down a little bit. If you don't like smokers, avoid them. The government is making that easier for you by banning smoking in public places. You don't have to put up with smokers anymore if you don't like them. And smokers can continue to do their own thing in the privacy of their own homes, where people will not constantly harrass them for their life (or death?) choices.
Unfortunately most people nowadays are desperate to trumpet their own morality and ideals. Anyone can look down on smokers. They're easy targets--addicted to lethal smoke that many people find foul-smelling. My suggestion is: if you find out that someone is a smoker, move on and keep the rant to yourself. The world doesn't need more diatribes, wrong or right.</p>

<p>I beg to differ. I know at least two cases where people were hospitalized for spending too much time talking on AIM and messageboards with smokers. Very sad indeed... One of them now has to live with an oxygen tank.</p>
<p>"You can't even get into a bar. Whye fu ck do you care what I do once I'm in one?"
You seem like an intelligent person. I'm 19 and I have my ways to get into bars. If you want to smoke go outside. Better yet, go inside your car and close all the windows and see how it feels.</p>

<p>Well, both secondhand smoke and nuclear tests can give me cancer and kill me, even if I don't smoke or test nuclear bombs. Either way, I don't want either around me, and I think I'm justified in feeling so. Why should your choice kill me?</p>
<p>"Don't judge people. I don't like smokers either, but it doesn't mean i'm going to cut someon off immediatly if I find out they smoke."
I don't cut them off, I just don't hang out with them when they smoke. I'm not saying that smokers are bad people, I would just never date one.</p>
<p>Worried Student, your first post came off much stronger</p>

<p>MallomarCookie- yea as dating material. I don't care (though I'd prefer they not) if they do smoke, just as long as they aren't around me when they are doing it. I brought up whores and [female dogs], so I thought it was obvious that I'm talking about dating.</p>
