I hate it. I hate walking through a cloud of smoke outside a shopping centre. I hate seeing it blow into families, making children cough. I am fine with them smoking at home, but in public places it is just dirty. What are your thoughts?

I smoke everyday

I feel indifferent. It's a dumb thing to do, but I'm not going to go out of my way to tell someone not to do it, or make obnoxious coughing sounds when I'm near them.

  • 12.03.2012 11:27 AM PDT

I hate it when it's done publicly.

I feel like it still persists because it makes you look "adult" and most are just peer pressured into it. I feel like we should seriously start doing away with it entirely.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Personally I can't stand it. If others want to do it, thats on them, I just ask that they do it away from me. If go to where their smoking though, then thats on me, can't give them grief if i'm putting myself there.

I don't like being around it since I quit, but I'm not a fascist who wants to see it stricken from society because I don't like it.

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

I've been around it enough that it doesn't bother me anymore. I smoke myself but only if I'm drinking and I feel like it.

I have an uncle that smokes. It pains me to watch him cough and spit up blood every time he takes the puff.

I cant smoke in my dorm

Always public. Although I smoke American Spirits so even non-smokers remark that the smell seems "authentic" and better than plebian cigarretes
Lots of people smoke pipes publicly too, and then there are hookah cafes which are regular hotspots.

If you really look at the science behind it, you could smoke two cigs a day for a year and maybe lose a day of your life worst case. Second hand smoke usually isnt bad

There are reasons why you can't smoke within a certain amount of feet of an entrance at a store in Illinois. Smokers have their areas to smoke at.

Yet I go up to Milwaukee and everybody's smoking inside this one bar. It's different everywhere. But I've been able to smoke a cigarette inside a public building in Illinois this year. That was pretty cool considering it was legal to do it there as well.

Not that bad?

Smoked for 12 years before quitting in April.

Still miss it, especially when drinking beers and stuff. Luckily my bro quit too, so we are going through this together.

It calms me down most of the time.

But I'm not a real heavy smoker either, I'll usually have one every other day.

  • 12.03.2012 11:41 AM PDT

I smoke at home and seldom in publicity.

  • 12.03.2012 11:46 AM PDT

I smoke... I don't stand by doors at "shopping centers and blow it at little kids though. I also find it highly unlikely that anyone else does either. Quit exaggerating for dramatic effect!

Smoking was legal everywhere when I was a kid. There were ash trays in the middle of the mall. I don't see why people are trying to take away even smoking outside 15ft away from a door now. It is ridiculous.

Listening to people complain about their petty problems in life is hurting my mental health but there are no laws against that...

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

It is disgusting and selfish to do in public.

If people sat at home and smoked, that would be fine since I would not have to put up with it.

Outside of Hospitals, Shopping Centres & Restaurants you will always find one person hacking and coughing as they fill their lungs with Benzene and Tar, Whilst sidestream smoke gets into the little kids lungs.

But omg civil liberties and i haz rights to poison others.

If I walked into a room and sprayed poisonous gases, I would be arrested and put in Jail but when a Smoker does it oh it is their choice.

Maybe people in america smoke differently to our people in Australia, but I have seen my fair share of what some of my friends nicknamed "puffers" smoking around people and having smoke blow on them.

I enhale more smoke in one cig than most people enhale in an entire month. Sure if I smoke out someone's car or house there are g2 be side effects. Someone walking past me while I am smoking is literally inhaling minute quantities of that smoke. I am not taking puffs infront of newborn children, or elderly people with breathing disorders
Just walking down the street they will inhale 20x as much air pollution from car exhaust than when in less than a 2 second period in which they are walking in my smoke. Which makes me doubt what type of "secondhand smoke" the source is referencing, because it is very vague.
Plus there are the beneficial effects against carcinogens when one smokes cannibis, which quite alot of people do.
Never the less, out of all the pollutions we need to be concerned about, second hand smoke is far from the most destructive
