Post about how much you hate smoking and smokers here. I am actually a smoker but i never realised how much some people despise smokers and smoking in general. What is it like from your perspective? I’m interested to know. Don’t hold back, I’m looking to be offended.
You can also post about weed smokers if you want but we should draw the line at crack/meth/heroin so it doesn’t just become a drug hate thread.

I recently went on vacation abroad with my partner and some friends (a couple). The guy is a fucking pack a day smoker and whenever we were attempting to get somewhere on time (ya know, the plane) he NEEDED to find a place outside to smoke. We would go special routes for this, like the smoker dictated it. He's out on the balcony smoking at the apartment every commercial break, stinking up everything. Something about it enraged me, it also enrages me that his wife says nothing about the smoking and she's not even a smoker herself. If it was me i'd make a comment about the smoking every time and it would probably end in fights. She's a pushover

Some people just refuse to cut down even the tiniest little bit. To the point where it becomes an inconvenience for everyone and, like you said, the smoker(s) dictate everyone. People should start telling them no. What are they afraid of? The smoker will have a little temper tantrum? So what. Let them seethe.

I hate it when smokers smoke in busy public areas that aren't specifically smoking areas. Idc if you have to make a 10 minute trek on your break to find a secluded area to smoke, just go somewhere where you're not going to give other people secondhand smoke. I'm guilty of smoking while walking down the street but only if there's no one around, people who just puff and blow smoke right around other people I find rude

Smokers deserve the death penalty. Whenever I see or visit my big sister and she starts smoking I spend 10 minutes telling her that she needs to stop smoking or her health with decline, I don't care if I sound like a repetitive robot, it's my duty as a sister to remind her. I hate France, litera'ly a country of chain smoking alcoholics who will ignore your existence unless you're ok with making small talk with them while they blow cigarette smokes all over your face. Last time I was going outside I sat down on a bench and 10 mintes later an old lady sat down next to me and started smoking, I had to leave because it's seen as a normal behavior here.

I hate smokers for so many reasons, they're common stuff but it's good to vent tbh.
>everything stinks
Every, single, thing, stinks so fucking much it's unreal, and I could leave a bag in the house of a smoker for a few minutes just to feel the horrible smell comino from it and stinking my clean house.
>the allergies
Just because someone is "okay" around you while you suck the stupid nicotine or weed stick doesn't mean that person won't have to deal with sometimes some serious consequences later on.
I've had nights in which I feel like I'm choking because of the secondhand smoke that I've inhaled even if it was for a while, even after taking an antiallergic, which is also I can't take all of the time because it's like getting an anesthetic that will make me fall asleep so deeply that not even the alarm clock could wake me up.
>the whole addict shit
Fuck that shit, I fucking hate how smokers of any kind can't fucking stop smoking for a while, you're a stupid ass dumbass addict, no, you can't just leave it whenever you want and no, it's not because I haven't tried it.
Your brain thinks it needs your stupid cigs or stupid weed because it's how it's wired, why can't you get a healthy addiction like drinking copious amounts of water? Or exercising? Maybe become addicted to helping people for fuck's sake, you could be a baking addict that gives cakes to the homeless. But noooooo I need to smoke muh cigarettes and muh weed to feel like a persooooon.
Smokers are the same as drunkards, just as hazardous even.
>when it's a personality trait
Fuck that shit as well, weed doesn't make you cool, it makes you look like a loser, smoking, regardless of whether you're smoking slim cigarettes or the most expensive cigars with rum, makes you look like the orally fixated loser that you are without an ounce of self control that disgusts people.
Also, wearing merch of the shit that's either rotting your brain or rotting your lungs isn't quirky, cute or funny, it's pathetic, it makes you look like an unwashed loser that needs attention 24/7.
>INB4 Muh coping mechanism Muh I'm saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Muh I'm stweeeeeeeeessed
Unless you're literally dying because of a crippling terminal illness, fuck off.
>muh alternative medicine
Petting kittens and puppies is also a good alternative medicine, petting horses as well, hiking, going to the beach, helping other people in actual need that can't afford a pack of cigarettes or 100 grams of weed and all of the paraphernalia that it needs, massages, meditation, yoga, swimming, boxing, fruit picking, farming, gardening, solving puzzles, reflections of what you've done with your life, crafts and arts, poetry, writing, music, baking, cooking, reading, acting, sewing, knitting, crocheting.
There you go, a list of things that you can do to keep your anxiety at bay, doesn't all of that sound enriching? There's even things that you can do with friends, family, where you can meet new people, or that you can even do on breaks at work instead of smoking like a massive faggot loser.

It's not like I've never smoked or vaped myself but I've been in a few living situations before where indoor smoking was banned and so I either cut down or stopped. I'm living in a country with the most miserable weather so I'm not standing out in the cold for a smoke. Things like the cost going up and it being hard to smoke outdoors without getting pissed rained on have made me just pack it in. It's not worth all the cons it brings. But I've had enough roommates and neighbors over the years who carried on with it. Opening the door all day long to go out, letting the heat out out of the house, standing out there in the rain, dragging mud into the house every hour. I never unsderstood the dedication to it.

I came home from a night shift thismorning and my neighbor was smoking (weed) at 10 am. They rent and can't smoke indoors so I swear they spend more time outside smoking a mix of cigs and weed than being inside the house. We have these tiny depressing lil non-gardens so who'd want to stand there all day. She had locked her 1 year old inside and she was just ignoring her screaming her lungs out in the background.. all to smoke weed at 10 am on a thursday. Is it worth it?

No. 1307265

I loathe smokers, especially ones who want to walk and smoke. I didn't ask to get lung cancer via second hand smoke, keep your nasty shit to yourself! Stand in a single spot and smoke in an area where everyone can avoid your nastiness. Also I see so many smokers litter too. You want to kill yourself then whatever but fuck off ruining shit for the rest of us. The urge I always feel to pick up the remaining cigarette (that wasn't even stomped out!) and press it into those people's clothes. The utter disregard for the public for a smoker's own selfishness is disgusting. I really do wish all smokers would just rope themselves.

No. 1307271

Smokers are fucking disgusting. I can’t understand why it is permitted in most countries for them to walk down the street waving a stick with a hot burning end around while expelling toxic stinking chemicals that are KNOWN to cause cancer.

Imagine if I walked down the street with a canister with a skull and cross bones on it and “this causes cancer” and “caution, hot” stickers, emitting a gas that stinks. I’d be arrested pretty quickly. What’s the difference?

Weed smokers are even worse as it affects you mentally. I stayed in one Airbnb that was listed as no smoking and the host smoked weed inside daily and it was disgusting and clearly fucking her brain up. Weed smokers become like autists and talk at you about completely irrelevant things at inappropriate times. Smokers also start to get irritable if they “need” a joint or cigarette or whatever.

Smoking is also incredibly disrespectful to how many people are starving to death or dying from cancer (probably not far from you) while you are literally paying out of pocket to shorten your life span and increase the chances of getting cancer.

Smoking also ruins your voice. Even if you quit, you can still hear years later that it’s not as soft as it used to be when just talking.

The idea of dating a smoker is disgusting. Even if they hide it, you’re still going to get poisonous chemicals on everything you own, in your mouth when you kiss them, puke.

Smokers also expect huge praise for quitting when all they are doing is rectifying their dumbass mistake to start in the first place.

Smokers create tonnes of litter with cigarette ends and increase their carbon footprint. The industry's carbon footprint from production, processing and transporting tobacco is equivalent to one-fifth of the CO2 produced by the commercial airline industry each year but no one ever mentions that.

I hate the smell of regular tobacco cigarettes and weed but worse of all is straw cigarettes, it was originally a countryside thing in my country, but I used to live in a big city where it was extremely popular, especially among university students. Everywhere I went there was someone smoking something, often stinky straw cigarette. Maybe because it's said to be better than regular cigarettes, but that's a lie and I'm not sure why anyone would believe that, or maybe it was just the hipster appeal.

Smokers cause forest fires by flicking their butts out the car window. I’ve seen a guy get pulled over for it (British Columbia Canada).
They also stink, ruin houses/cars etc and are unpleasant to be around. The way to get extra breaks at work is to lie and say you smoke and they just let you hang outside whenever you want. I hate smokers with a burning passion. My family are a bunch of addicts of meth, weed, alcohol and cigarettes. Seeing what has become of them after all these years is depressing and 100% preventable. My aunt got a nose job because coke fucked it up internally. My cousin is prostituting herself for meth and lives in a busted RV. It all starts with smoking but one bad event or peer pressure can send someone in search of something stronger.

I used to work in a poor town and there were regular customers spending hundreds of dollars on cigarettes, tax is crazy so they are around $9/pack minimum. Guys doing construction or working at the pizza joint would come in and buy 4-5 packs multiple times a week. We had to keep cartons locked in the office because was getting common in the region for people to jump the counter and steal all the cartons. People would also flip out if they tried doing returns (with stolen items) and the store credit couldn’t be used to buy cigarettes. It’s like currency in these areas.

Also, the state next to us banned e-cigarettes fairly early, so residents would plan day trips to drive to every gas station/pharmacy/head shop they could find to stock up on pods and refills while businesses were marking them down to get rid of stock.

It's gross in so many ways and all the breaks smokers get to take at work drives me nuts but admittedly I still kinda think it looks cool. It's balanced out by how severely uncool it is to constantly need to pause your life to go and smoke outside somewhere.

Either way I hope every smoker switches to vaping. They can blow their watermelon flavoured smoke in my face any day.

I dont want to totally derail the thread but I agree. I've met heavy drinkers/stoners who act like cigarette smokers/vapers are straight up demonic. I think some of it has to do with that addict/substance user trope of "oh well, at least I'm not as bad as those guys."

I live in a country where almost everyone smokes, smoking is allowed indoors, there are "non smoking" areas that are literally just another part of the room and smokers don't give a shit if someone dislikes them puffing away with small children and infants in the room. I've been told to find non-smoker friends if I don't like smoking, which is ridiculous because all I ask is for them to control themselves indoors so I can breathe.

The worst part is when they smoke and walk and you're stuck behind them on the street as they blow smoke in your face. Actually no, the sickeningly sour smell of their breath is even worse, I've been social distancing for years just because of that.

I honestly dislike both. Alcoholic drinks in moderation are fine, but in practice, I keep hearing some crazy shit from family and coworkers. Like how some people seem to have a hangover everytime they party, or people love to pressure others to drink because "it's good I swear". The second case happened to me recently when I already forced myself to waste time after work to socialize with coworkers, it was awkward as fuck, I'm never going back there.

The reason smokers deserve more hate then any other group no matter who rees about muh fatties and drinkers being just as bad/unhealthy, is that the former don't also make you eat/drink to. Smokers suck because being around them means inhaling second hand smoke, and smoking causes lung cancer, so people really don't want their chances of cancer to increase. While certain vices indulged to the point of affecting others can be bad (eating to the point of imobility and being a drain on the system/the people around you and have to take care of you, or drinking and getting violent/needing to be driven around to avoid an accident), it can be avoided with moderation. No way to avoid getting cancer by smoking in moderation, and does not force others to also indulge in the vice if they are in the same place as you.

Thank god a place I can rant about smokers. One of my jobs there are these 3 women, one you would never, ever guess was in her early 40s because how absolute ragged she looks, and part of that clearly has to do with smoking. She always goes out smoking on both 15s we get with these 2 girls and they all smoke 2-3 cigarettes each in that time (nobody actually makes it 15 its usually 20) and they always stink so goddamn badly, like far worse than usual. One day I was on my lunch when I saw them smoking and found out all 3 smoke together in 1 car, don't even bother to roll the damn windows down. When I say they reek I mean it. One girl I work closeby her and I will be 2 aisles over and I can still smell her its that strong. Absolutely disgusting

Can we talk about vaping in this thread too? Because I'm going to. I fucking despise vaping and lose respect for anyone that does it. I feel like I have my They Live! glasses on super tight with regard to vapes.

Fewer people are smoking now than in previous generations, then some marketing genius says, "Hey, what if we made it taste like candy!" And another one says, "Yeah! And we'll sell them in fun colours and give them quirky brand names!" It feels like it's specifically and aggressively marketing to children. I even seem to recall being vaguely aware of some controversy in the US where JUUL was advertising on the Cartoon Network website?

We have a retarded law in my country to fight childhood obesity now, where you cannot display candy or chocolate at the tillpoint any more because it encourages impulse buying. Nobody mentions that vapes and vaping equipment now fill that impulse buying space where the candy used to be. Then you have entire vape shops are springing up everywhere like fucking fungus, most of which seem to be entirely staffed by Pajeets who are really bad at hiding that something shady is going on.

I am utterly convinced that the tobacco companies behind vaping know something about the health risks that we, the public, do not, and are actively trying to ensure we don't find out until it's too late. Like they have literally done since forever.

I really like what New Zealand has done by raising the age limit you can buy smokes each year in order to hopefully phase them out fully.

Colorful disposable vape pens have made a pretty noticable resurgence where I live. I thought they peaked a few years ago but I think other countries have set harsher selling rules.. and so the market where I am is pushing them harder while they still can. Staying ahead of any incoming laws that put a dampner on it. I've complained on here before that there's more vape packaging littering the streets in my area than there is candy wrappers.. it has to be younger people.

The last time I ever bought one (ex smoker, used vapes while giving it up) It had the writing "I vape great!" written on it in this fancy script and it's just a piss take how cute they make them. I felt like a fool with it. It looked like a peach lipstick and lit up purple at the end. Make them bland looking at least. They did that with cigs here, removed the branding so that they look boring. Then this rainbow shit pops up right next to them? That time I bought one the cashier laid out 20 options too and I think she was surprised I only wanted one. They're not even a 'weaning off' tool any more. The whole reason we originally had them was to taper off the real thing.

I used to smoke, I would stop occasionally and then pick it back up when work got stressful. Smokers don't know that they stink. They have no idea they smell like wet cigarette butts. I would say I feel bad for my former coworkers in hindsight, but quitting that job ultimately led me to quitting smoking, and for good this time.

I used to like the smell of second hand smoke too, but now I can't stand it. It used to make me want to smoke but now it just gives me a headache. What gets me now is seeing smoking on shows or in games. It makes my chest feel tight and gives me butterflies. Tobacco companies really knew what they were doing when they created deathly addictive cigarettes and all encompassing advertising.

I wish I had never started. When I see young people smoking now, it makes me angry. Smelling smoke in my apartment from neighbors or people on the street almost pushes me over the edge. But I don't say anything to others, because I know the response would be just like mine was when I smoked.

I honestly detest alchol drinkers more cigerette smokers. If i was going out with my friends and they got shit faced, i would abbandon them on the street and whatever happens to them happens. Back to smoking, most smokers i know have the most disgusting fucked up teeth. I feel like certain cigerettes stink more than others and almost smell as horrific as weed. Tbh i just hate anyone who would willing poison themselves for fun and expect the sane non-smokers and drinkers to feel sorry for them. I have i no sympathy for people who die from cancer sticks, drugs or alcohol. I hate that it doesn't kill them sooners.

You can consider your extremely lucky if you only see smokers outside in one place. You just don't know enough smokers to see the ones who have permanently ruined their health. Do you live in a country where you need the car to go to most places, and that's why you're asking if we're Europeans? I'm European and see and smell cigarettes every fucking where, it's insane. However when Inlived in Tokyo I never had that issues and the air was way less polluted because smokers had their own dedicates spaces outside to smoke, so you can avoid them very easily. If they smoked outside of these spaces they would get fined. Even going to izakaya where smoking is allowed was far less nasty than going anywhere outside in my city. If the government wanted to put this in place they'd would all get threatened with their lives because "muh freedom"

My family has alot of 'generation trauma' I guess, CSA, people covering it up, child neglect that turns into more bad parenting when that child grows up and has their own kids and doesn't know how to be a parent etc. So I have empathy for people with legit trauma that was left untreated for so long that addiction took over first. People without a healthy upbringing or support system to even try and guide them. I lost an aunt to it. Then I used to have a friend who'd sit in the pub with us and start telling us about her dad molesting her as soon as she was drunk enough to lose her filter. She was way too generous about buying other people drinks and she had no off switch once she started drinking, it was a mess. She'd a dead mom and a dad in prison and nobody had the authority to really step in and stop her eating through her savings that way.

I still think alot of the alcoholism in my country stems from people who just sign onto state benefits for 'insert shady disability claim' and then eventually boredom kicks in because they're obviously able-bodied and not doing anything with their life. So they live in the pub and smoke and drink all day.. ironically taking their disablity money and spending it on ruining their health for real.

I'm okay with people smoking outdoors as long as they don't throw pic related to the floor. I'm my country people do that when the cigarette is still lit and they don't even bother to put it down after that. A couple of times I've seen a burning cigarette tail falling near me from a balcony and that has scared the shit out of me, I don't want to think what could have happened if it hit me on the head/face.

As a kid I didn’t mind but now I’m an adult I really resent my dad and his girlfriend for smoking in the car with me when I was little.

My mum wouldn’t believe me when I told her I could tell she had been smoking inside & that it had a bad impact on my symptoms. As much as I love them their habit for smoking inside is so selfish especially when they know I have respiratory issues. My ability to breathe apparently means less to them than satisfying their dumb cravings. I hate nicotine it’s such a lame drug, doesn’t even give people a high it just makes people addicted and gives them cancer. I think it’s so dumb that people will seriously admit to smoking cigarettes just because it “looks cool” like I’ve never gotten that at all.

One of the most seemingly obvious yet never discussed side effects of smoking is how difficult it becomes to breathe after you do it regularly. After I started smoking nearly every day breathing became challenging and I felt like an overweight suburban mom on a hot day, like I couldn't go up a flight of stairs without needing to catch my breath for a minute.
I've severely cut down and its getting much better, it's still hard not to have a cig once in a while as a little treat

This isn't much better, but I switched from smoking cigarettes (about a pack a day) for about 10 years to vaping. Maybe going through a "pod" a week. Mmm yummy nicotine and mystery chemicals produced after being heated up and inhaled
But now I don't stink. One concerning thing is that, when I switched, I didn't cough up a lung the way I did when I previously tried to quit smoking and DIDN'T switch to vaping. It makes me think my lungs have never been given a chance to clear themselves out, and I'm imagining my tarry lungs being coated with a weird film that keeps the tar there rather than loosening so I can cough it up.
I'm on a medication that helps with quitting smoking, so hopefully after quitting vaping I can post my disgusting updates here about how much nasty shit I cough up.

Every single person in my family used to smoke, but me. It was really annoying how my friends told me I smelled like cigarettes. I felt I was being shamed for something I never really chose. Every time I brought it up people would talk about how bad being a secondhand smoker is, but I was just a kid, there was little I could do. My parents and siblings weren't dumb, they knew smoking was bad, what did they expect me to do? I wouldn't convince them. I didn't have any allergies, but some of my friends did, so they couldn't do sleepovers in my house because the smell would trigger their allergies.
Now that I'm older I have some allergies, strong smells like perfumes give me terrible headaches and the smell of cigarettes is an instant trigger. I can now smell what my friends smelled in me. I don't hate smokers, but I hate how unaware they are. They used to smoke at restaurants and I remember my parents being pissed when the restaurant didn't have smoking tables. I now deeply relate to the people disgusted by that, as I also find the smell disgusting and the smoke makes my eyes hurt. I feel bad for my child version that was so exposed to it, that she didn't smell or feel the effects of it.
And I hate the smell of weed, it makes me want to vomit. I know people who hate the smell of cigarettes and don't mind the weed smell so this is probably more of a me thing.
