I just don't get smokers...I do it to relax, stress gets me back on 'em every time...I mean, I've smoked before, sometimes still do (when I'm drunk and therefore stupid), over the times I've tried it, never once has it made me feel less stressed, relaxed, chilled....anything....I'm just wondering what level of actual chemical dependance one has to reach to either make the above true, or convince themselves this is the case.
Smoking's gross...I mean, I aint about to botch at people for mauling their own health, but smoking anyplace but your own home effects others. It's not only partaking in a drug habit outside of home, but endorsing it as well. Don't even get me started on "cigarette breaks"...I mean...I could enjoy walking up to people and slapping them hard in the face, because it makes me feel slightly better, less stressed, and would more than likely put me in good spirits for at least a while...but dp I get a random slapathon break? No.
In closing, I look foward to the complete public ban.

What about people who smoked because they liekd it? I loved the taste, the smell... I just enjoyed smoking. I like the smell of second hand smoke still, it's just something I like. I don't do it because I want to stay fit and healthy but they day I have a terminal disease is the day I buy another carton.
