hmmm, someone brought to my attention that my name was mentioned in conjunction to this post.
I merely posted a survey (like so many others do) based on my observations and my own thoughts. What people do to their bodies is really NONE of my business, nor could I really care how quickly or slowly people choose to kill themselves.
It just appears very oxymoronic to mix bad air (smoke) with good air (pure oxygen). But as aforementioned, I have never smoked (and never will), therefore I couldn’t possibly understand what it is like to fall prey to marketing and putting big black holes in my lungs like Swiss cheese.
You are obviously a proud smoker. As you should be! Just like I am proud of being a non-smoker! I have more important things to do than try to convince smokers what they are doing is bad/wrong/stupid etc. etc. Because by the time I track them all down they will be talking through a hole in their throat or dead. So really, time can be better spent helping others and doing good in the world.
The only time I get irked is when a smoker’s rudeness comes across, by thinking that the entire planet is theirs to pollute and drag others into their filthy habit by lighting up wherever they darn please.
And BTW, my stepfather is a chain smoker and I have ZERO respect for him either!!!
