I'm an off-and-on again quitter. Smoking is the worst habit; it's not discriminating on people to:
not want the world littered with cig butts.
not wanting to smell disgusting cig smoke as people walk by or worse, loiter, blowing their garbage into houses and apartments.
not wanting to pay for the enormous burden this habit puts on the healthcare system for nothing but perpetually addicted suckers who got hooked before they got sense.
it's a burden on society writ large, from the asshole flicking out a cig that starts a wildfire (the world is already burning) to the dickheads who vape on the train. I wish it would all go away.
Smoking is the worst habit, I've said it many times myself but it's not disgusting. It's the worst in terms of cost, what you get in return and the fact it's a drug thats only real high is making you want more.
People smoking doesn't equal litter, to blame them all is.. Disgusting.
Fair but I smell plenty of gross people every day who aren't smokers.
Don't know where you live but in Australia, we pay almost $60 a pack and that $40+ of tax is for my healthcare.
Yeah yeah, I wish you would go away or at least become a bit more tolerant.
it does - it's air pollution of the worst kind. their fucking buts end up in the marine life. want more tolerance? get fucked or stop smoking you douchecanoe.
You're a fucking retard and obviously didn't read any of my comments. I quit and I never fucking littered. The worst kind of air pollution is from factories, power plants and refineries - cigarettes are completely negligible.
Go get some education.
sure bud, whatever you tell yourself.
Nonsensical.
