Anti smokers annoy the hell out of me too but I know I'm being very dickish when I'm smoking. I used to love these 'you only get one life' arguments too but they are complete fodder. What like you have to smoke to enjoy this one life or something?

All this B.S. about living life to the max, mannnn. What you need tobacco for that? All it does is temporarily give you the sensation of relaxation and stress reduction non smokers enjoy all the time. A cigarette doesn't make you feel better after a meal. It just makes you feel normal like every non smoker at the table. It's called addiction. It fills an insivible hole for about half an hour.

Again I can't stand the anti smoking brigade - people can smoke all they want - but at the same time I'm long, long past my youthful rebellion days of smoking apologetics. It's a fucking retarded habit.

yeah i do believe trying things, cigs, booze, drugs, gambling or whatever makes you happy is living your life in a much more productive way than not trying but still having an opinion on them things.
and i agree i'd like to stop one day, but when i'm good and ready, not when other people say so
