It blows my mind people are so judgmental. Probably because their mother didn't breast feed them. Isn't formula basically the same as breast milk? That's just pathetic.

621,000 cigarettes. I was a chain smoker and also an air traffic controller, 2/3's of us smoked in that job back in the 70's. I smoked 2-1/2 packs from 1971 until 2006 minus twice I quit for six months each, so I calculated 34 years. I enjoyed it, I never wanted to quit. I was given a prescription for a drug called "Chantax", it has no nicotine. I quit after 5 days, now that I've quit, I wish I had never started.

You don't think smoking a pack of day of something that is proven to kill is pathetic?

I have never quite understood the hate from non-smokers, such as yourself. I mean, really?

People like you bitched and moaned about others smoking in public places and you got what you wanted. Smoking is banned everywhere, (even outdoors... zoos, parks, etc.). Yet, you're still being a holier-than-thou douche and still bitching about what others do to themselves.

How would you feel if people ragged on you about all the dicks you smoke?

I haven't had a cigarette in years, but I'd light one up right now if I there was a way to blow the smoke through my screen into the face of every asshole who behaves like this. One of hardest parts of quitting for me was shaking the feeling that they'd won.

This reminds me of a story...

We were waiting in line at Ihop, (this was right before they passed the ban), and we had asked for the smoking section. The hostess apologized and told us that they were completely non-smoking. We said, "okay, thanks anyway", turned around and was leaving, (we figured we would just go somewhere that wasn't packed and allowed smoking).

All of a sudden this little gray-haired lady, (she must have been pushing 80 and looked like death warmed over), pipes up and says (loud enough for everyone to hear), "I'm glad they don't allow smoking... smokers are disgusting". That type of shit is uncalled for and just made her look like an uppity bitch.

Nah, but she got "the look". The, "listen here you old bitty, you're going to die soon anyway, so shut your dusty hole", look.

How am I being holier than thou? It's a pathetic habit that can kill you. It's as simple as that. You can do it all you want, I didn't bitch about you doing it. I never said that you need to stop. I just said that it's pathetic.

You don't think that you're acting like a douche about it? Come on, King. The other non-smokers simply posted, "0", "zero", "nada", etc. Yet, you felt the need to throw out the phrase, "pathetic habit" and carry on.

It's an addiction. One that is extremely difficult for the majority of people to kick. The last thing that people struggling with such an addiction, (myself included), needs is someone talking down to them.

Mkay?

It wasn't proven to kill back in the day, and it was socially acceptable. Quit being a dick.

Everything kills you dude. Everything. I've never smoked a cig in my life, but don't rag on people.

I could stand to lose a few pounds. You drive in a car. Shit kills people.
