i strongly dislike it that when you go out (fresh clothes washed hair whatever) you nevertheless return smelling like a tar chimney.
what, you europeans havent heard of a shower?
no really, i smoke about 4 days a week, and on those days its about 3 or 4 fags (stogies, cigarettes, smokes, cigs, ect.) and i fucking hate the smell of it. when i am at home, i go outside to smoke, come in, go the wash room, wash my hands and face (i have a goatee that just reeks afterward), and pop in a piece of extra gum (polar ice, or uber mint).
i started smoking when i was 12, and was a very heavy (bout a pack and a half a day) until i was 23. being 27 now and for the past four years i have smoke around a pack a week. but there will be weeks where i wont smoke at all, especially in the summer, fuck i hate the heat. then there will be nights like 2 fridays ago where i go out at 6pm, and get home around 7am and have miraculously killed a pack and a half of camel ultra lights. but those nights are blessedly few and far between for 2 weeks after that night i still feel the shit in my lungs.
but as for non smokers, there is some shit that bothers me; here in the US there is a campaign called 'truth' that just have the most insulting and aggrivating ads on tv. i dont watch much television, maybe 3 hours a week and in that time i see 3 or 4 of these fucking 'truth' comercials.
problem number 2 is that in many of the cities in US there are no smoking in public laws. as in not in pubs, restaurants, pool halls, malls, office buildings, casinos and even fucking hospitals (j/k). now this means NO smoking at ALL, not just smoking sections. if that is the way they are going to do it, they should have smoking establishments, as in bars and restaurants that offer smoking where as those who do not like the smoking can go to the places that offer a smoke free environment. brilliant compromise cept that the smokers clubs will be better and the non smokers will bitch about it.
alas there is no end. i smoke because i like to, but i am glad that you dont. i will try not to blow smoke in your face if you try not to bitch or sneer when i light one up! :Smokin:
