    I live alone and actively wish I could die. I’m not hurting anyone but myself.

    I am glad that it’s not cool with the younger generations, and that the whole vaping fad kinda died back.

    Still though, the amount of self righteousness and lack of empathy from some non smokers really makes me glad that I will never have to hang out with those types of people.

    Addiction is a hell of a thing, and when the alternative is worse than quitting, it’s extremely difficult to quit.

      Youre seriously trying to guilt trip non-smokers here? Sure, addiction is horrible and some people are really struggling, but the majority of smokers I know dont give a shit that theyre actively killing others by blowing smoke into their faces on the street. Its ignorant and toxic behavior which is tolerated because of decades of brainwashing by the industry.

      I have very little empathy for people who choose hurting others for their own convenience. Maybe start with empathy for poor people that struggle surviving because they are being exploited, or people that are systemically suppressed, then move on to empathy for smokers and other criminals.

      I hope you get better, but your struggles dont excuse the millions of smokers actively harming their environments without a care in the world.

        I’m not trying to guilt trip anyone. The self righteous superior people clearly dgaf what I think and the feeling is mutual.

        … killing others by blowing smoke into their faces on the street.

        Ah yes, the age old tradition of going up to a non smoker and blowing smoke directly in their faces. Fun times.

        I’ve been a smoker for a very long time and I’ve never seen that happen, unless you count shotgunning cannabis, and that was always consensual.

        Let’s get real for just a second. What you actually mean is occasionally you catch a whiff of cigarette smoke while outside. I’m sure you don’t go stand next to smoker, and I’m positive that they don’t “blow smoke into your face”.

        Even in my backwards ass state, you can’t smoke indoors in public places, so it must be outside.

        If you are so concerned about your health that you think simply smelling cigarette smoke and walking away will kill you, I sure hope you never leave the house, attend a BBQ, or go camping, because you will likely be exposed to other smells just as likely to kill you as that.

        I have very little empathy for people…

        That much is clear

        Maybe start with empathy for poor people that struggle surviving because they are being exploited, or people who are systematically suppressed

        Who says I don’t? Who says I don’t fall into those categories myself? Having empathy for one group of people does not preclude you from having empathy for others. I’ve never shot heroin or smoked crack, but I feel bad for people struggling with those addictions.

        I don’t condone smoking indoors where non smokers live or around non smokers if they are outdoors and can’t walk away for some reason, I just don’t think someone should be treated as if they are human excrement simply because they are a smoker. You don’t agree, that’s fine as long as I’m not forced to be around you or have to listen to your sermons.

          There you go again with the fucking victim role and guilt tripping. Dont even need to read the rest of your bullshit. Maybe think about if your attitude plays a role in your miserable life.

          Edit: I still ended up reading the rest and your way of twisting words and literally cutting my quotes to twist their meaning is truly disgusting. Any shred of sympathy I had for you with your original comment is gone. Im glad you probably dont bother many people in real life, assuming anything you wrote is true which doesnt even seem likely anymore.

          Also read up on second hand smoke, because you obviously havent heard of it.

      Smokers are addicts that it’s “morally acceptable” to shit on. The self righteous love it.
