Cigarettes... the new target for stupidity?!

I just don't like them (booze, cigs, and drugs (HOWEVER: although I haven't tried it yet, pot sounds fun... cigs don't)... I decided it was a waste of time to preach something that people would hear a million times anyways.

Drinking irks me because I already have enough of a hard time reading people, and people around me tend to NEVER drink responsibly, so even if someone is, I get nervous. But I don't tell them to leave or anything, I'm pretty cool with letting them stay, it's just kinda scary to me.

Then your not straight edge. ^^ Straight edgers are, in short, a bunch of p***y a** rage-boys, who complain to everyone else who enjoys life, because they can't get laid. It may be a stereotype, but I guarantee 90% of the time its true.

Well thats the people around you, whom I'm guessing are still not used to the whole 'able to drink' thing, and will drink to excess, I've seen it happen with my friends, of course, I've been around drugs, alcohol and smokers since a young age, as odd as it sounds, it liberated me from any peer pressure, as it was never a forbidden thing or made a big deal of. So to me, I drink, because I like the taste, I used to do drugs (only ever pot I tried ex once, but it wasn't for me) because I enjoyed the effects, I never smoked, because I never derived enjoyment from it. These days I don't do drugs, save cough medicine and Ibuprofen when I'm sick.

I hate that.
I smoke.
I MIGHT get cancer.
etc

I MIGHT get heart problems. My Uncle died on Thursday morning from a heart attack, he was in his early 50s. He excersised every day, ate healthily, didn't drink and didn't smoke.

I only say that because the amount of times I've been told I WILL have a heart attack because I smoke and how non smokers are not as likely to have one. I'm not saying I won't, what I'm saying is that people act like smokers will definatly have a heart attack and get cancer, when not all will.

So ******** what, get over it.
It just seems like American's love to act all 'im better than you because I don't smoke' online.

I think if someones smokes and you don't it's your business not there's and they probably don't care.

I actually get very pissed off when people bash and whine at smokers and act like they know more than everyone. I gladly defend smokers from stupid people because if I smoked I'd be constantly annoyed.

What's sad is when I see smokers take out a cigarette and automatically say "yeah yeah I know it's bad for me I'll get cancer" when no one said anything... They've been poked at for so long that they say it right off the bat.
When they do that, like a few friends of mine I know, I smile at them and say 'I wasn't going to say anything...' because I know they're just like me, only they choose to smoke.

Leave smokers alone people!!!

yeah well one thing is to go to people and tell them that smoke is bad for their health and one thing is for "look" better then you , however people that smoke got an higher % to get an heart attack but then again is up to you decide to smoke or not and you know the consequences it can create. For me smoke is personally a waste of money and i don't like it a lot when people smoke around me sweatdrop

I don't smoke or drink anymore. It's not an activist thing, though.

For me, when I did smoke and drink, they were dependencies and intentional facets of my image. I wished to detach myself from dependencies and that sort of image, it just doesn't suit me anymore.

Another reason was the difficulty presented by the fact my activities were illegal. It was too much work to be worth it.

Also, lately, I have become concerned with my health. I've been eating better, drinking more healthy things, usually sleeping better, and doing well to keep myself hygenic. I became bored with the lethargy that my vices gave me, and preferred to be completely inactive in my spare time as opposed to inactive due to a nicotine buzz or drunkenness.

I could qualify for straight-edge. There's no way I'm having sex any time soon (in another long-distance relationship, so it's out of faithfulness). However, this was not a conscious effort. The straight-edge life was not any part of a goal in mind.

I can tolerate smoking but not drinking as much because sadly the people I know don't know their limit which I hate and started to detach myself from them. I really don't like the smell of cigs, it just doesn't smell right to me especially the scented kind I hate those. But I think as of late I might be allergic to the smell not sure.

My comments on the subject-

1) There is a very valid point to be made in the concept of, "If one person drinks*, the whole party doesn't get drunk. If one person smokes, the whole party smells it."

2) I don't like drinking* or smoking. I feel that an individual should make the choice for themselves, even if I think both are pretty retarded choices.

3) If I were at a party, I'd rather it be one person smoking than one person drinking*. Smoking may "smell bad", but drinking* impairs judgment. No matter what number of either, I'd rather be around the smokers. I'd go to a party of all smokers, but not to one of all drinkers*.

*When I say drinking in this post, I generally mean binge-drinking, drinking to get drunk, or some such similar concept. Not social drinking, such as a single glass of wine at a dinner party or a couple of beers at a tailgating party.

I'm so immune to smoking it's not funny. It's because I've been smoked around since an infant and a majority of my family smokes. I also love to drink. Everybody drinks in my family unless they have a health issue where they can't.

Difference between straight edge and those that choose to abstain for personal reasons: Straight edgers, tend to be wussy little rage-boys whose only real beef is that they themselves can get neither served for alcohol/tobaco or get laid so insist on making us all suffer their impotent wrath. If you choose to abstain for personal reasons, like in this case, your health and faithfulness, its common sense not straight edge. ^^

I'm very well aware of the difference, thank you.

I don't appreciate the rampant stereotype you have of straight-edgers. I know plenty of normal folks who have chosen that, what you're seeing are Militants or Youth Crew.

If they are normal and chosen abstinence, then they aren't straight edge, thats my point, where as straight edgers are people that are rampant and militant on the subject. I stand by my stereotypes, like it or not, thats what I think from the 'straight edgers' I've met.

I prefer cutting.

We don't care. Sorry but attention seeking posts like this annoy me.  

[destructive emotions]

i smoke. I have been through a tough life, and dont you doubt it. My parents were abusive drinkers and smokers, which kind of led me to try it, i mean i used to look up to my parents, i did whatever they did. So now im not able to stop, and have been through so much s**t, to where i cannot stop. Everytime i attempt something goes wrong and i feel the need to smoke one.

 

[destructive emotions]

I SMOKE! im proud to admit it<<< well not really>>> but i will anyway. So everyone needs to lift their nose from everyone else's business!
