You cannot possibly stink of smoke by walking for the whole 0.5 seconds of your life through a group of smokers outside your work or wherever, so stop complaining. I am not a smoker, but I certainly do not break into a conniption fit when I pass by smokers. Do you really think you are going to develop cancer by inhaling a waft of smoke as you walk into your work every morning? Do you bitch when you are standing outside and a car drives by you? The concentration of carcinogens present in vehicle emissions is comparable to that of cigarette smoke.
Smoking is not evil, GoodToGo. Cigarettes are no more evil than a goddamned BigMac. People bitch so much about the cigarette industry and how smoking is detrimental for one's health. The health problem paramount in this country today is the average American's diet. How about you rant about that? Perhaps you can scream about how lazy people that eat fast food and lay on their asses all day make you sick. At least that is a reasonable complaint.
Yes, it is a smelly, filthy, and disgusting habit, but generally for those that are around it all of the time. The smoke is not going to affect your overall health if you are exposed to it for less than a percent of your lifetime. People possess this funny little thing called free will. People are going to smoke, drink, get fat, etc if they want, and you are in no ffin position to condemn them. Are you so perfect and devoid of flaws that you can possibly dispense judgemets about people for the decisions they make about their own lives?
Spend your energy on something more productive. STOP BEING SO GODDAMNED SANCTIMONIOUS.
Umm lets clear a few points over here shall we?
1) I am not a compulsive eater who hogs on bigmacs or whatever cholesterol laden food that you can think of. I am fit and lean and run 2.5 miles everyday. So much for the lazy ass part.
2) I drive a Nissan Sentra which is one of the most fuel economic cars. Of course it still not as good as carpooling or public transportation but on the other hand, I dont work and Atlanta mass transit sucks big time. And walking is not a very practical solution in a spread out city like Atlanta. The car is only used sometimes (50-60 minutes times a week) to get around to do basic stuff like groceries or pick some food up.
Am I saying that I am perfect? Hell no! All I am saying that I try to cut back on my bad habits so that the world can be a better place to live in. Of course sometimes I eat bigmacs or drive more than 60 minutes a week, but at least I dont go around smoking like chimney and smelling like a f*cking skunk. I could have resorted to name calling as well, but I forgive you for your lack of coherent arguements. Also read love1u0's post. You could probably learn something from the guy.
Edit: Also dont confuse neccesity with free will. Driving a car is my neccesity, driving a 35mpg sentra or 1mpg SUV is free will. I chose sensibily, but have you?
