Get one of those little contraptions that rolls 'em up for you. My Mum used to use one so added cool points.

tell them to smoke outside!
even if you are a dirty ass smoker, you can have some curtiousy and go outside or out of the room.

Danny Himself 10.04.2006 06:25 PM

I live in a small house with little ventilation. It hangs around.

fuckers need to learn some respect and go outside.

Danny Himself 10.04.2006 06:27 PM

 


But then they'd unknowingly confuse Native Americans..

golden child 10.04.2006 06:27 PM

haha

Danny Himself 10.04.2006 06:30 PM

 

I don't know how UK smokers miss these warnings..

Cantankerous 10.04.2006 06:30 PM

that's not a warning. that's an encouragement.

Yes, they don't seem to save you any time at all unless you are a complete spack at rolling cigarettes which I probably would be if I had ever attempted it.

golden child 10.04.2006 06:32 PM

you know hamburgers are worse for you than smoking?
how come no one talks about that????

do you eat hamburgers?

Cantankerous 10.04.2006 06:33 PM

eating one french fry is equivalent to smoking one cigarette, i think.

porkmarras 10.04.2006 06:34 PM

You should learn to kraftwerk then, Iain.It's mathematical reason over physical deficiency(i hope i spelled those 2 words the right way).

How so? They are two very different things, so how can you compare them?

because they are EQUALLY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. do i have to break it down for you?

Cantankerous 10.04.2006 06:46 PM

i forgot to mention that it looks fucking great when i light my cigarette and my lipstick and nails match.

golden child 10.04.2006 06:53 PM

i bet.

John Violence 10.04.2006 06:55 PM

Because Kurt Cobain did it.

Everyneurotic 10.04.2006 07:11 PM

smoking pot is way worse

HaydenAsche 10.04.2006 07:19 PM

Matching nails and lipstick + smoking = Mad cool points.

golden child 10.04.2006 07:29 PM

better have the toe nails to boot, even if you are wearing shoes.

HaydenAsche 10.04.2006 07:30 PM

True.

G/C, I'm gonna start rolling my own again soon. I'm so broke I can't buy fancy cloves anymore.

Alex's Trip 10.04.2006 07:40 PM

This reminds me of two guys in my biology class. I had the pleasure of sitting between them.

"Hey man can you get high tonight?"
"Nah, my mom put me in rehab again"
"Oh that sucks"
"Yeah, maybe, but I get out in a couple days"

Every fucking day. They were incapable of not talking about it.

HaydenAsche 10.04.2006 07:45 PM

HAHA.

golden child 10.04.2006 08:02 PM

cloves? no wonder you are poor.

Saying I don't enjoy smoking is like saying Courtney Love isn't a cokewhore.

Everyneurotic 10.04.2006 10:14 PM

do you think i smoke because someone forces me to? smoking kicks ass and all of you are self-repressed and try to take it on people who are enjoying it.

nature scene 10.04.2006 10:32 PM

Young people that smoke talk about it because the older smokers all have emphysema and can't talk. Haha.

Seriously though, I've never really encountered this issue. I do not smoke cigarettes personally, but I am very aware that many people that do actually do enjoy it. Personally, I find it kind of gross, but who the fuck am I to judge the decisions of others? People aren't "tricked" into smoking by cigarette companies or peer pressure. They try it out of curiosity, and heaven forbid, some people actually enjoy it! Big fucking deal.
Perhaps there is something to be said for the settings in which people smoke (i.e. public places) but I have not been presented with good evidence that second-hand smoke is a health problem. It can be annoying, but that's it. Don't try to make a crusade out of it.

I bet not many people have thought of this: What if smoking is actually a benefit to society? Maybe all the early deaths caused by smoking reduce the burden of social security systems and the like. I am not advocating smoking of course, but the nanny state advocates need a good dose of reality to knock them off their high-horse.

golden child 10.04.2006 10:39 PM

acually, i try and hide the fact that i smoke from most people.

nature scene 10.04.2006 10:50 PM

Probably because there is a social stigma against it.

HaydenAsche 10.04.2006 10:51 PM

Really? That's so unindie. Haha.

I smoke everywhere. In fact, I got yelled at and the police called on me because I was smoking at the skatepark and it's on school grounds. It's better than drugs.

bullSHIT. i would have quit a long time ago if i didn't like it.

by the way, to all of you pricks whining "you're gonna get cancer and die!"...

Arguing with the fucking aussie is no use.

Everyneurotic 10.04.2006 11:58 PM
