re: Do you feel bad for smokers that they are so weak and crippled by addiction

I smoked for over 10 years . I have proudly been tobacco free for over a year. It wasn’t easy but I feel so much better now.

gotta love how they get to have multiple breaks but linda gets in trouble for chatting with hannah for 10 minutes after lunch instead of going to her desk

What I don't get is....WHY do people START smoking? Bad for you, expensive, stinks, bad breath, etc..

I think younger people now no longer do it like 20 plus years ago. According to young folks I work with hardly anyone in high school smoked they say, when I was in high school at least half the class smoked or dipped. This was in the 90s, I guess people have just become wiser, I don’t know. I dipped in high school and started smoking at 19 and quit in early 30s.

ETA: Unfortunately I still only while hunting though will dip. Sometimes on my morning hunts I’ll bring a cigar to smoke with my coffee if I’m hunting on the ground waiting on the sun to rise. It’s been long enough now it doesn’t bother me but I never smoke a cigarette. For instance I haven’t had any tobacco since last hunting season

I smoked recreationally for a while and got hooked. Also enjoyed a good chew.

Nicotin is a bitch. Now I vape to curb my addiction but I hope to quit that at some point too.

I don’t really feel sorry for them. I just shrug them off as trashy and go about my day.

Never been a smoker in my life. This piss-ant thread title makes me want to start.

This.

But it's the only way most of these pussy-arse losers can feel good about themselves. Start a thread about something that's generally bashed by everyone and just ride the wave. There's a reason there's 20 cigarette and tattoo and fat threads a day and it's because the OT is generally populated by bitches.

I must be so different. I can pick up a pack of smokes, and smoke it. Then give it up for months, and then do it again.

What if someone has no desire to quit smoking? I've never even tried, because I don't have any reason to.

I'm also not gonna huddle in a big group with a bunch of other people. That's gross, and I don't like people that much

It's a strange addiction. I quit 19 years ago and every once in a while I find myself patting my pocket looking for a cigarette after all these years.

You are right. It is probably best to just sit there, ignorant, and pass judgment when you clearly don't know what you are speaking of.

You gays do that a lot.
