Because you kill others with your second hand smoke, smoke demon.

Strange, but smoking's a lot worse for you than pot.

AHAHAHAHA, at the last bit, do a bit of research on what it can do to your mind.

Smoking is bad, so we just harras you so u stop :)

tobaco is just a must for the modern human;)

That's the problem. I don't want to like them. Yes, I am curious about what it would be like, 'cause it must be pretty good if people are always smoking them. The reason I would never try one is because I know that I would eventually want to quit, and that would just be another addition to life's problems. Besides, though probably extremely exaggerated, all those "don't smoke" videos to touch up on long term effects that I really just wouldn't want to deal with.

I've always been the type to try new things.

It's not that you're missing out on smoking, which was very nice for as long as I did it but no more; you're missing out on having the right attitude to life. People are dictating life choices to you. If you've never smoked a cigarette and are never going to, and you're really anti-smoking, I'm sorry, but I think you're brainwashed. This is coming from someone who is in the process of quitting atm - you guys really need to adjust your perspective on living.

Yeah, I will try new things. But that doesn't mean that I have to try EVERYTHING in the world (Including smoking). Maybe it's just that you are a lot more curious than me, but what smoking feels like just doesn't interest me enough to want to try it. I just don't like to do things that could get you addicted. Heck, when most of my friends were playing WOW a year(?) back, I thought about it because it looked really fun, but said screw it, because I know stuff like that is addicting, but not really bad for you. I just hate getting hooked on things when it becomes more based on compulsion rather than fun. Plus, all the little things like how it is just one more thing to pay for and the fact that I would have to constantly try to hide it from my parents. Too much stuff to deal with. Life is a lot simpler with out cigs.

Plus, as a side thing, health is important to me in that I plan on majoring in Trumpet performance. If anything happens to my lungs, I'm basically screwed. (yeah, I know that a bunch of famous jazz trumpeters smoked, but they were pushing the envelope a bit.)

And on the topic of smokers in general, I don't really hate them. I just don't like when your talking and all of the sudden, they pull out a cigarette and start blowing it right in your face. These guys only make up a fraction of smokers, though. So, in general, I don't mind others smoking as long as they do it outside and alone or with other smokers.

It's just a plant, like marijuana, all that smoking propaganda is targeted at pack a day smokers.

You say that like cigarettes are some big taboo while marijuana is perfectly accepted by society. I think you're forgetting marijuana is illegal while cigarettes remain legal.

Yet again, you've made the assumption that people smoke to look cool. Ask anyone over the age of 20 why they smoke, they will not say "to look cool". Grow up.

Most of them will say 'because I am addicted', if they know enough about themselves.

The effects of smoking are different for each person. Some people go through life smoking side effect free, others aren't as fortunate. I choose not to smoke because I don't wanna be one of those people that walks outside in the middle of winter for a cigarette. To me it's just not worth it. The time it takes me to walk outside and smoke a cigarette is time I could be doing something more productive.

As for Earfetish, why do people start smoking then, in this day and age?
You say that a nicotine rush is nothing to be afraid of and actually good to tick off your list. You say life is lacking if you never had that feeling.
Yet, loads of people still start smoking because they were too curious of smoking. I can tell, since 90% of the people I know from school are currently smoking on a daily base.

You claim that you should just try it, but isn't the first cigarette enough to make you addicted?
Of course, you could be repelled by your first experience, but you might as well start taking a liking to it.
I am not the kind of person that depends on his nicotine. I am not addicted to anything. I have enough willpower to stop even using the computer. (Of course, I can't for obvious reasons, like school).
But I just don't like the idea of being dependent on something.

Some of us don't want to get lung cancer you know, chances are I'll become a victim of second-hand smoke.

i dont hate smokERS.i hate smokING...theres a difference <3

SMOKE THAT SHIT IN YO HOUSE!

Smokers are deadly to those of us who have breathing problems, such as asthma, from the start. We just can't handle it. And even if you don't have a condition, the smell is just atrocious.

There are other ways to get a high.

Some people just don't want to breathe in smoke fumes from smokers. It's a matter of public health.

ohhh so inhaling smoke DOESN'T do anything to your lungs. And here i am coughing everytime i inhaled it because i thought it was in fact actually obstructing my ability to breath when actually it was the propaganda that was fucking my sinus's

oh it is all so clear now :/

seriously...what if a person has asthma or a lung condition. Who knows what a lot of smoking can do. I really can't stand it when a person with a cig walks by me and smacks smoke in my face. That's like a big fart right in the face ruining my nice air.

Wow, what is it with people, who evidently haven't smoked a thing in their lives, desputing that it does make you feel something? That's like me denying chocolate tastes good even though I've never had it (which isn't the case btw.). And to the guy saying he's never heard of overdoing cigarettes, the thing about overdoing stuff was pointed at drugs in general ;).

That what I'm referring to, only way to avoid it is by walking in front of the smoker, but you can still get blocked and the fact that there could be another smoker in front of the other doesn't help either.

CANCER!!
:runs around in circles

Smoking is bad cuz it makes your teeth yellow and shit
but who cares in my opinion, it relaxes you. but their is tar and shit in it witch is bad

SMOKING KILLS

People hate what they dont understand.

Because people don't like future generations to look at teens who smoke and try to be like them.

That's probably because of how disgusting it is to everyone around said smoker, and what it does to your body is even worse.

I hate smokers because they bring me to cancer hell with them >=o

If you want to get high, do weed. At least then it doesn't eat my lungs.

if weed was legal the second hand smoke from weed would be just as bad.

but i do agree with you that people who smoke without thinking of those around them anoy me greatly. i do smoke but i work very hard to stay away from non smokers when i do.

but really when you think of smokers you think of the 10% or so that stand around people who shouldn't be exposed to smoke and that group stands out to you most, like for smokers the anoying anti smokers of the non-smoking population stick out most to us. its the same as how that 5% of lawyers makes the rest look bad or how the 5% of judgemental christians stick out from the "hate the sin love the sinner" christians.

your just seeing the worst parts of the group and assuming that the rest are like that.

According to research smoking does a fair deal more damage to the cigarette than it does the smoker.
FACT.
