People are real pricks when it comes to smokers huh? How tall is that horse you're sitting on?

If it were something that didn't affect me, I wouldn't really give a crap that people smoke.  Hell, the smoke itself doesn't even bother me since I just learned to live with it (and what does that say about smoking?), what bothers me is how badly it makes everyone who smokes smell like ass.

I know smokers love to say they don't smell for whatever reason, but you do and it's disgusting.  The moment you start affecting me because you smell like feet, ass, and gingivitis I can start complaining because you are affecting me.  I seriously want to throw up anytime someone who just smoked a cigerette gets within 10 feet of me.  I just can't understand how those people can't understand how disgusting they smell.

Yeah it's as disgusting as the smell of someone who's drunk and on top of that you gotta deal with him making himself look like an ass and would probably piss himself in the next 10 minutes.

Yes, obnoxious drunks are obnoxious, but what about the people that occassionaly have a beer or a glass of wine?  They don't affect me in the least (assuming they aren't morons and drink and drive).  Or are you assuming anyone that ever drinks fits into that catagory?

What about the person that has the occassional one cigarette?  They still smell like ass after they smoke.

The thing is that pisses me off about your comments is how much dumb they are. Why do people smoke ? why do people drink ? why do people are become assholes in general ? It's a bad habit and I am not defending it or saying it's not bad for you far from it, but just to come here and start judging and telling people what the outta do or not do in their privacy is obnoxious.

If someone is bothering you with their smell tell them to stay the fuck away from you or just move on it's the same as sitting next to a guy who haven't showered in 2 weeks and smells like ass.

And I do generally try to avoid smokers but there are some times you just can't for whatever reason.  And again, other than telling people they just stink, I'm not really trying to judge people.  True, I think smoking is one of the dumber things you can do and I have no idea why people start but that doesn't really mean I think I'm better than them or they're horrible people, I just think they smell.

As for wondering why people start, it just confuses me.  What does someone who has never smoked get from smoking?  It makes you smell, it costs a lot of money, it's horrible for you, and yeah, that seems just about it.  I know why people get addicted to it, I just don't understand why people start.

-edit-

Everyone has their habits and everyone has their bad habits.  One of my many is I chew my nails, I know it's disgusting but I do it because, well, I'm retarded like that.  Another habit I have is I do drink (though not an alcoholic), I don't get falling over piss-ass drunk, but I'll have the occassional beer at dinner, every now and then have drinks with friends, or have a nice glass of scotch after a particularly long day at work.

Yup, those habits are just as bad smoking in some regards, just the difference with mine is I don't affect other people.  I suppose I could affect other people by spitting my chewed nails at people or getting falling over stupid drunk, but I don't and my bad habits stay to myself.

That's not me saying I'm better than you (the smoker), I'm just saying it's pretty difficult to keep smoking to yourself.
