Stupid Smokers Are Redundant Phrase  |
|
So, one day I sit next to a smoker, and he inhales and exhales smokes like he is breathing, or if he is not doing that, he would keep his cigarettes on his finger and keep it burning and annoying the people around him.
And I thought: "Stupid smoker!"
Then I realized: Hey, wait a minute. Stupid Smokers are Redundant Phrase! All smokers are stupid! They inhale carcinogens into their lungs, they bought it using their money and they got nothing left of it except smells, irritated lungs, and being poorer. They even annoy people left and right and have no intentions whatsoever to stop!
Stupid Smokers Are Redundant Phrase! What do you think?

1. syankee525 (3362) | 4 weeks ago | well no we all arent stuipd. first of all i wont sit or stand near people who dont smoke. and if someone came up to me and said it was bothering them i would say sorry and move away from them. but i was at a party once which was outside this man came up and said your smoking is bothering me, i told him i was sorry and that i would move away from him more. but i guess he was one of those stuipd none smoker who thought he could push me around. after asking him three times to stop pushing me and i dont like to be touch by strangers then i finally said ok old man push me again i'll push you back even harder. lucky the person i was talking was a cop and told him hey you stuipd illmanner none smoker if you push him again and he knock the*hit out of you its call self defence. so you stuipd none smokers think you can put your hands on us smokers dont think so. just because i want to smoke dont mean i am stuipd and i am sure there are things you do and what you drink or eat is stuipd to others. but none smokers like you who are rude i love blowing my smoke in your face for being illmanner

Zenstrive (206) | 4 weeks ago | You being smoking is a disruption to the society. You puff carcinogens away into the atmospheres thinking that you have some fun without regards to other's health. Moreover, you give lasting stinks to whatever environment you are in.
You sap away resources when you are smoking: your money that can be spent to betterment of yourselves or your family, wasted time you spent when you are smoking for no apparent reason than short time enjoyment. Then when you are down due to your health problems, you sap away the resources too: the time and money spent on doctors and medicines. Resources that can be spent many other ways.
You see, if you take clear look at it, smoking is one stupid habit. You buy a thing simply to burn it away while poisoning yourselves? Yeah, that's what I call stupid.

Zenstrive (206) | 4 weeks ago | No sir, I don't do christmasts, and really, I simply point to the fact that people do useless thing and still proud of it and defend themselves that they do not harm people by doing it but still they harm themselves.
What would you call people who harm themselves knowingly and willingly? A Masochist?

syankee525 (3362) | 4 weeks ago | my thing is we are free to pick what we want to do and i look at this way everything we eat or drink kills you, even driving can kill you. to me its no different but if i am going to die at least ill be happy and when i do smoke i dont blow smoke into other faces and i make sure if i am around people who dont smoke try not to allow smoke get near them. its like because you dont do christmas means i shouldnt, or if you dont rock music mean i should listen to it. it like me tell you by not doing christmas is wrong but its your choice to do so just like me smoking. ' and not like any smoker dont know its bad for them i do know this but i dont smoke because i need it, i smoke because i get bored and i dont want to gain the 60 lbs back on due issues with my back so if its smoke or gain all my weight back and have more pain in my back and being laid up for months at a time i pick smoking

sid556 (10499) | 4 weeks ago | syrankee...read his discussions on poor eating habits...he has no room to talk here. don't argue with him. He is just self-righteous and arrogant.

syankee525 (3362) | 4 weeks ago | oh if was from him again i was going to tell him no matter what he say i am still going to smoke and if he was near me i would blow smoke in his face. have a good one

2. dawnald (9499) | 4 weeks ago | We would call that an oxymoron.
But the fact is, I know quite a few smokers who are very intelligent people. My mother was one of them and quite a few online friends smoke. Once you start it's hard to stop. You could say that the person is smart, but they are doing one thing that isn't smart. Just like if a person does one bad thing in their life, that doesn't make them a bad person.
As far as blowing smoke into people's faces though, that's just rude.

Zenstrive (206) | 4 weeks ago | To know that one thing is useless to do but still do it, what would we call someone who is doing that?

sid556 (10499) | 4 weeks ago | Do you mean for example like eating out and eating at KFC and knowing that it is unhealthy and yet you keep on doing it? Like that? And then you make excuses for that behavior such as not having a wife as if someone needs to take care of you...like that?....is that what you mean?

dawnald (9499) | 4 weeks ago | We all have bad habits, but smoking is an addiction, very hard to quit (so they tell me).
My brother Alan is, by IQ, the family genius. He never finished high school, laziness. He works long hours and barely scrapes by. He has a wife and four children. Both he and his wife, who also has a high IQ, are smokers. If they were to quit smoking, they'd probably have a little extra money to help them with their problems. But 1) they are addicted and 2) they enjoy it. Is that stupid? I'm pretty sure you would say yes. Heck, my brother might even agree with you. Does that make it easier for him to quit? Almost certainly not.
And as for smoking in Indonesia, you don't have the laws there to prevent the advertising and to remove the more harmful ingredients, so people get addicted and it's even worse for them. Maybe it's some kind of pleasure to help them cope with the poverty, I don't know. But the laws need to change and people need to be made more aware of the dangers. Is the corrupt government keeping that from happening?

3. Pitgull (1061) | 4 weeks ago | Until you stop driving, consuming American products, or anything in between, attacking smokers is not going to solve the environmental problems that we face.
What disrupts society?
Preventing people from the healthcare that could allow them to get on a plan to quit smoking, to purchase the medications they do need, to build up a society of healthy, skilled individuals who can handle the problems we face...
People make mistakes, and no one is perfect.
Everyone has their vices.
One lapse of reason does not make someone the enemy.

4. greenfeathers (553) | 4 weeks ago | Well, as a smoker I'm not surprised by your self righteous attitude. You non-smokers are a rather pompous lot. As a non-driver who repeatedly deals with toxic fumes and orange alerts from many(!) non-smokers who have no qualms with the health issues of the individuals who need deal with the results of their errant, selfish actions as 'health conscious' non-smokers who don't give a tinker's dam about the rights of the individual or the health issues of the individuals or with screwing up the natural environment because their right to the overuse of internal combustion engines burning petroleum products is more important than ANYTHING ELSE! So if I breathe in the carcinogens from a non-smoker's engine, and deal with the stench of a non-smoker's engine, and deal with the screwed up environmental issues of a non-smoker's engine and one day die from the effects of these I should revel that it was caused by a health conscious non-smoking driver instead of cigarettes?! You need to get down off your high horse before you fall off and hurt yourself and if you want to preach at somebody then find yourself a mirror. Start there and don't point the finger at anyone else till you're done there..

Zenstrive (206) | 4 weeks ago | Now you put this issue outside the context. It is known fact that today's technologies still unable to produce vehicles that are carcinogens free so those drivers are not able to choose.
But you can, and you stupidly still chose to smoke and continue to puff carcinogens and pollutions into the shared environments.

greenfeathers (553) | 4 weeks ago | I beg your fukking pardon! So you justify poisoning people because you don't have a choice..Well thank you Hitler for an insight into justified victimization! You don't have a choice? Go total electic..go bicycle..go on foot..You just want to believe that because you are part of the arrogant elitists that you have the right to dump on people who offend your peculiar sense of values, very self oriented, and because of that self orientation you think you can hide behind 'Its not my fault!!' Get a life..you're obviously wasting the one you got..

sid556 (10499) | 4 weeks ago | Hi greenfeathers....don't let this uneducated, self-righteous person get to you. If you go into his profile and read just a few discussions you will quickly see that it is just silly to argue with this person. He is right...smoking is bad for us (i'm a smoker too). The difference between us and those with other problems is that we readily admit it is a bad habit and we are addicts. We do try to be considerate to others and we struggle to quit. This person eats out every nite because hmm....doesn't have a wife to cook for him....eats at KFC....talk about unhealthy!!! I tried to be compassionate to him on his eating habits and emotional issues and still I got insults and rudeness back. We are educated on smoking and what it does to us. We are also considerate to others. Does he even have a clue as to where his restraunt food comes from...I'll bet not or he'd be living on his peanut butter standby. it is hard to even get angry at him if you read into him.....he is just ignorant that's all.

greenfeathers (553) | 4 weeks ago | Thank you! I really appreciate that..Its kinda funny. I got a picture in mind of someone jogging down a busy city street, sucking in all the toxins, for their health or hopping into their suv to go to the bike trail to ride..Its really rather scary that folks can be so blind to the man in the mirror..oh well..again, thanx..enjoy!

5. sid556 (10499) | 4 weeks ago | I am a smoker. I began smoking many many years ago as a kid. I am not stupid...I am an addict. These days there are very few places where smokers could possibly be as rude as the one that you describe regardless of how thoughtless they are. Where were you anyway? I mean, we can not smoke in any public buildings. We can not smoke on the grounds of many public areas. Many landlords do not allow smoking in their apartments. That being said, most of us have gotten the hint....our smoke offends non-smokers. We know that 2nd hand smoke is harmful. Most smokers do not smoke around non-smokers or children. Most are considerate enough to go outside and away from others that don't smoke. Not all smokers are stupid at all!!! Did you ask this person to put out his cigarette?? Did you let him know that it was bothering you? If not...why not? And again....where were you?

Zenstrive (206) | 4 weeks ago | I am living in Indonesia, and there so many stupid people here that thinks smoke is better than the well beings of their wives and childrens, and they even think smoking is necessary for getting far in their job.
So you realize you are an addict and you do nothing to stop it? What does that make you?
| |
|
|
sid556 (10499) | 4 weeks ago | Well first, I have to say that you are very self-righteous indeed. Yes, I do admit that I am an addict. I have tried countless times to quit and only temporarily succeeded. I have used the patch and been hypnotized twice. I started smoking at age 10...I was an addict by 11. I'm 53. I'm not making excuses but it is very very hard. I have cut back tremendously and won't give up in my efforts to quit. Do you realize that this is right up there on the scale as heroin addiction. It is tough. That all being said, I've read up on some of your other discussions. So you eat junk food and your excuse is lack of wife??? I've tried to be compassionate to you in your other discussions regardless of your lack of compassion and understanding to the problems of others. My point is that we all do things that are not to our best interest....doesn't mean we are stupid....means we have a problem...made some poor choices. Addiction is tough and just because I've not been successful in overcoming it I refuse to let someone as judgemental as you get to me and I hope that it doesn't anyone else reading this. Putting someone down and calling them stupid and inconsiderate does nothing to help and says more about yourself than it does anyone else. Maybe instead of putting down the people with a problem that you yourself are lucky enough not to have then you should put your focus and energy into the problems that you obviously have. Not justifying my smoking or anyones...it is a dumb, unhealthy habit. Does not make us dumb people. And for your info....I have not missed a days work EVER for illness and I am 53. Can you say the same?? I don't have insurance and havent been to a doctor in years.....don't even have a doctor. how about you?
| |
|
|
sid556 (10499) | 4 weeks ago | oh and just to let you know....you are way too assuming. You just assume that I do nothing to stop it?? How arrogant of you. Do you do anything to correct that character flaw? I really could delve deeper into this after reading more about you but I wont. Let's hope you get it and back off. You are not perfect and should not be so judgmental and self-righteous. On some level, I suspect you get that but use putting others down as a way to avoid looking at your own issues which are evident.
