Yeah that shit annoys the fuck out of me. Society really needs to change the way we treat people who smoke.

Why smoke when you can be addicted to the superiority complex that apparently comes with not smoking?

They did… and it caused most people to stop smoking. Building that social stigma was like one of the best health marketing campaigns in history.
I say this as someone who used to and still does smoke time to time.

Gives you more lung space to inhale your own farts!

Even our farts smell better when you don’t smoke.

Many people that smoke are already mentally unbalanced. Making them a shamed pariah is doing little for their mental health, it is just forcing them to hide yet another bit of their unhappiness.
Not smoking is healthier, no doubt, but the majority of people that still do it undoubtedly have enough shame going on. Self hate comes into play, as well.

I smoke. Shame and self hatred is exactly right.

I completely agree, ads like this that say " it’s bad for you", “you’ll hurt the ones you love”, “your family will miss you”, it’s all just anti-suicide pepole thinking they’re soo much better than everyone else
blowing ones brains out shouldn’t be portrayed as a bad thing, we need change and show we respect and accept suicide!
Also as a child of a heavy smoker, fuuuuuuck people who smoke around others, i don’t care if you want to harm yourself, but stay the fuck away from other people while you do it

Dude you’re projecting your daddy issues onto other people and being incredibly up front about it.

Didn’t say it was my father, are you projecting your daddy issues perhaps?

Many people wouldn’t mind other people smoking, as long as it doesn’t impact non-smokers. But the thing is, smokers aren’t really all that considerate about non-smokers. I attended a couple festivals over the past week. It’s really annoying when you stand in packed crowd as a non-smoker and someone starts smoking. Sure, we are outside, but it literally makes breathing harder, especially for asthma patients.
I don’t really see a way in which smokers and non-smokers can coexists without the smoker impacting the non-smoker. Even if you only smoke outside of the restaurant/bar, it will still be annoying and unhealthy to people entering the restaurant or bar.
I’m very curious with how things will develop in France, where they banned smoking in area’s where children are present, which is virtually everywhere.

I can’t hear you over my 100% lung capacity. I am breathing so good right now. You wouldn’t even believe.
