UK Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Do you smoke? Personally, I loathe it, horrible, disgusting habit. Bring on July 1st!
Guest Stefkov Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I hate cigarette smoke. I hate going to the Ukrainian club and having the smell lingering everywhere. I cannot wait for July 1st.
Cube Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I hate it. My lungs react quite badly to the smoke - I can't be in the same room as someone smoking withouth coughing. Pubs have been so much beter (and smell a lot cleaner) since the smoking ban.
AshMat Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I started taking drags every now and then, i like the taste..
Supergrunch Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I'm not very keen on cigarette smoke, but my mum and sister are actually allergic to it.
welsh_gamer Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I have never smoked in my life, but everyone in my house smokes so I have inhaled a lot of smoke that way Was annoying in school, when people smelt my pencil case's etc, they could smell the smoke, and instantly thought I was a heavy smoker...
Colin Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I smoke, but will be attempting to give up from 1st July as my evenings out in clubs/pubs will be torture to me. If that doesn't happen, then I'll most likely cut down how often I go out. So this is the quarterly 'smoking's disgusting thread' then!
The fish Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I don't like it mainly because if I wanted to kill myself, I'd find a cheaper, quicker, and generally more pleasant way. Oh, and cigarette smoke makes coke taste weird. It really does.
Strider Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I hate smoking altogether. I don't mind the considerate smokers, them that make the effort and move away from people. However those people that think they own the world and just blow it any old way need a good smack round the head. So you end up complaining to them then there the ones that get mardy, im glad of the new law.
system_error Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I do smoke about 3-4 packs a week. Honestly I am addicted - I need the nicotine to relax and kill time. I know it is a bad and unhealthy habit so I either smoke outside or in areas where smoking is allowed. I put out my cigarette if I notice someone is eating - however I do not put them out in a smoking area just because someone doesn't like it. I shouldn't have started and I advise everyone don't do it. It sounds so easy to stop but it is not. Beside the obvious addiction and health problems it is quite an expensive habit.
Platty Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I don't smoke but don't hate it. I do however welcome the ban on 1st July as I am fed up coming out of the pub stinking of smoke when I do not actually smoke myself. Smoking will never be banned completely as they bring in too much money for the Government.
The Bard Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 It's a pretty disgusting habit if you're an addict, and there's nothing worst than having to breathe in someone elses stale exhalation. It's just pretty much the stupidest thing on earth.
My Buttons are Magic! Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 i hate hate hate hate smoking i actually was estatic when the smokin ban came into place here (ni) i also hate people drinking - 2 things you will NEVER catch me doing quite ironic that my parents both drink and smoke i would preferably not be friends with someone who smokes ( except my parents) not gonna put my life at risk just cause they want to:blank:
conzer16 Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I smoked. Then gave up. Smoke sometimes when i'm hammered. I don't like it. The smoking ban was the best thing that ever happened to the pubs here, especially because I used to work in one :P A lot of my friends smoke, so it's funny when we go to the pub now there are about 4 of us sitting on our own for 10 mins every 30-40 mins as they go outside (usually into the rain!!) !`
My Buttons are Magic! Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 .. to anyone has smoked.... .. why did you begin in the first place? im always interested in peoples answers
Dyson Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 "Smoking is for fags." Had to get that in there before anyone else did
conzer16 Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 .. to anyone has smoked.... .. why did you begin in the first place? im always interested in peoples answers Wanted to try it. Thought it was cool/sexy. Then wanted to stop. Too expensive. Smelly. Disgusting.
My Buttons are Magic! Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Wanted to try it. Thought it was cool/sexy. Then wanted to stop. Too expensive. Smelly. Disgusting. why is being "cool/sexy" so important to some people just be yourself!
conzer16 Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 why is being "cool/sexy" so important to some people just be yourself! Bingo
system_error Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 i hate hate hate hate smokingi actually was estatic when the smokin ban came into place here (ni) i also hate people drinking - 2 things you will NEVER catch me doing quite ironic that my parents both drink and smoke i would preferably not be friends with someone who smokes ( except my parents) not gonna put my life at risk just cause they want to:blank: So you hate me twice for drinking AND smoking, don't get me wrong your aversion against smoking is completly fine with me. What I don't understand is that you judge people by their habits (even though they are rather bad habits). But I would reserve such strong words as hate for different more serious problems. As far as I am concerned I don't blow smoke in the direction of someone, my breath is perfectly fine and so are my fingertips (smokers tend to have yellow fingers). So what is the reason why you hate me ? I smoked my first cigarette with 14 and didn't like it and stopped. A few years later being bored, alone and stressed I started again and it became a regular habit. So I did not do it to be cool or something otherwise I would not have stopped with 14. I think it is a bit unfair all that anger towards smokers - after all we finance the health system ... and you don't hear anyone complaining about car drivers (accidents cost a lot of money in a hospital), fat people get a stroke much more likely, ....

AshMat Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 .. to anyone has smoked.... .. why did you begin in the first place? im always interested in peoples answers We were on the way to getting drunk at my mate's, my smoker mate had one and i asked for a pull, to see how it was. I liked the taste, so i only ever had a few pulls when we wree there getting drunk. Lately i've been doing it more, but i'm nowhere near addicted atm, i don't do it enough to get addicted.
mcj metroid Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 "Smoking is for fags." Had to get that in there before anyone else did ohhh don't give us a bad name. I don't smoke ans i don't like people that do. it's such an image thing. why is being "cool/sexy" so important to some people just be yourself! peer preasure. Some people just care too much about what others think about them.
