Smokers are sexy and fight for our rights
 
 

!@#$%! 03.03.2008 11:38 PM

fuck smoking. i just quit for good today. it happened thus:

this past saturday, finding myself deficient in mental focus, i bought a pack of marlboro reds for therapeutic use. i smoked one on the way home, then smoked none on sunday, then today i had one after my coffee in the morning.

come the afternoon my brain was still unhinged, so i lit up another smoke and deeply inhaled. i normally just inhale lightly.

i got sick and fucking nauseous. had to get to bed, i was feeling so sick.

i trashed the fucking smokes and i'll never smoke again.


ha ha- i hope...

the prices in the UK are fucking outrageous. they do have great little warning labels though.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.04.2008 04:25 AM

I have never smoked. I'm such a goodie two shoes.

this may seem like a real mom thing to say but if you haven't started by now, don't start ever because the possible health problems are well documented and it's expensive and whatnot.

Green_mind 03.04.2008 05:28 AM

Don't you have the health warning labels and such scare tactics in the US?

 


 

Toilet & Bowels 03.04.2008 05:33 AM

i'm going to take time off work in a couple of weeks to quit

nicfit 03.04.2008 05:34 AM

how much does a pack of smokes cost?

Cantankerous 03.04.2008 05:36 AM

in the US about $3.50 averagely? here it's wayyyy more than that but in most american cities i think it's about that much.
in the UK it's like $10 or $11 US.

Mrs. Butcher 03.04.2008 05:38 AM

marlboro lights are somewhere around £3.50, when i occasionally smoke it's roll-ups now, tobacco and papers come to about £4 and you'll get 30+ cigerettes.

nicfit 03.04.2008 05:42 AM

A hah aha , I guess there are cheaper ways to be sexy :D.

█████████ 03.04.2008 05:51 AM

"fight for our rights"

i smoke but i dont feel pressured or revolted by smoking bans.
i understand others have the right to care for their health.

really, cut the whining. it's stupid.

Cantankerous 03.04.2008 05:55 AM

i think the smoking ban in new york is stupid though. at least fucking have a smoking section so we don't freeze our asses off outside in the winter or sweat our balls off in the summer. "but your smoke still gets in our section, whine whine whine". okay so close off the smoking section. BAM. problem solved.

█████████ 03.04.2008 06:00 AM

it bothers me sometimes, especially at some concerts.

nicfit 03.04.2008 06:00 AM

here some places have some sort of "air recycling barriers" that keep the air from a room ro get into the other room, with no "material" barriers between the smokers/non smokers sections. I can't explain it better, but it works.

a pack of twenty is nearly £6 and a pack of 10 is about £2.90

floatingslowly 03.04.2008 08:46 AM

I smoked a full pack in 4 hours at the Built to Spill show.

mmmmm.....feel the flavor.

mangajunky 03.04.2008 10:16 AM

I'm glad yr freezin' yr asses off. Smoking is the most selfish habit in the world. I'm stuck smelling your cancerous poison every time I hang out with you.

It also encourages littering.
You buy a pack:
1 peel the celophane - toss it
2 open the pack pull the top foil out - toss it
3 pull a cig out smoke it to the butt - toss the butt
+19
23 finish the pack - toss it

23 fucking pieces of litter generated and tossed on the street with every fucking pack of cigs...and don't tell me that you save all that garbage for a garbage can, cuz you don't - you drop most of it on the ground.

Fuck you, you should be fined heavily for every pack of cigs. $10 a pack isn't enough to take care of the crap that you all do to fuck up the world.

floatingslowly 03.04.2008 10:23 AM

got a light? :)

Oh I know. I find it funny that when I'm completely down and out I have more money than smokers I know who have jobs.

If it weren't for fast food, cigarettes, and bottled drinks there would be very little in the way of litter.

Glice 03.04.2008 01:19 PM

I am on a sabbatical from smoking this month. I decided to do this because I'm pissed of with the cunting prices of tabs, and need to see if I can have an economical sabbatical. So for I've managed alright, not smoked since the 1st, and I still have a few fags worth of shag if I cave. I've only been slightly frantic, and that was calmly diffused upon work sorts.

The problem is that I'd like to be able to smoke 6 months on, 6 months off (i.e., in the summer); I think, given the smoking ban, my days of all-year smoking are over. I'll enjoy it all the more come the summer.

Everyneurotic 03.04.2008 05:22 PM

to all those who are pro-cigarette ban:

i feel bothered by stupidity, stupidity causes more pain and death than cigarette smoke and since i find stupidity offensive, i demand that stupid people be not let into any closed building i may be inside at the time.

let's wreck everyone's freedom.

I pay $7.70 Canadian for a pack of 25. I know people who spend over $10.

Everyneurotic 03.04.2008 06:18 PM

oh yeah, i pay $25 pesos for a pack of 20, it's kinda like around $3 u.s. dollars.
