If they used adult diapers instead of toilets in France would you suddenly think it was sophisticated to make us all smell your shitty diaper? So now the rest of us get to choke on your poisonous smoke while you kill yourself slowly. Vaping is just as stupid as smoking but vaping doesn’t force non-smokers to have to smell your nastiness. If you smoke, please just find a faster way to kill yourself; you stink.
I hope you have kids and that they start smoking in their angst-ridden rebellious phase and become lifelong smokers because of it.
Not only that, but I also hope every time you get to see your kids, you smell smoke on their clothes and when you do, may it remind you of this time on lemmy when you said all smokers should find a faster way to kill themselves.
So, smokers choking me every time I go to a store because they’re standing outside the entrance committing slow motion suicide is gentle? They’re all killing themselves and in the modern world, they know it. 80 years ago the public may have been ignorant of the toxicity of tobacco but in 2025 smokers know damn well that smoking is suicide. I just wish they would do it without me having to choke on their poison with them.
Actually, let me update those wishes a bit: Not only do I hope your kids become smokers, but now I hope one of them gets a fulfilling, high-paying job as a tobacco company executive.
And after that? May your house be struck by lightning and burn to the ground, and the only thing that saves you from living under a bridge is the fact that your wealthy tobacco company executive offspring can afford to just buy you a new house with his hard-earned tobacco blood money, so that way every day you live your life knowing that your existence is subsidized entirely by smokers.
Bro why are you so defensive about a bunch of poison-belching stink bombs?
^ See, funny thing about me is that when you say things like that, my brain actually interprets it as “Not only do I want you to smoke right next to me, but I also I want you to blow all the smoke right in my face after every puff you take”.
Bro, I don’t care if you kill yourself with tobacco or by jumping from a high place. You’re free to do what you want. I just shouldn’t have to breathe that nasty shit with you. Smoking is like masturbating. I don’t care but you shouldn’t do it in public spaces.
Okay, how about we compromise? How about I just put up a sign that says “if you don’t like the smoke, get the fuck out of my bar” and that way, you can just choose for yourself whether or not you’d like to give the place your business instead of expecting everyone else there to bend over backwards just to accommodate you?
Smokers are a minority. Far more people are non-smokers than are smokers. Bar owners who cater to smokers are shooting themselves in the foot. Lots of people who like to drink, dance and party avoid bars because they don’t like smoke. Hawaii banned smoking in all buildings open to the public and within 100 feet of the entrance of any building open to the public. Not one bar or nightclub was forced to shut down. The idiots were just forced to poison themselves in private.

Wrong. Actually, most club/bar owners really don’t want people like YOU there, because nobody wants you pestering their customers and driving people away.

^ See, here’s how I know you’re full of BS: I live in a major vacation area and there’s only one single non-smoking club in the entire city.

Then move to Hawaii. I know I’d feel better if people like you were stuck on an island hundreds of miles away from the mainland where you can’t bother the rest of us.
Also, I’d like you to know that every time I encounter an annoying Smoking Nazi like yourself who love giving holier-than-thou lectures about smoking, I instinctually light up a cigarette while they give their anti-smoking lecture, and I intentionally blow the smoke right in their face.
23% of Americans smoke which means 77% do not smoke. Smokers are clearly a minority. 29% of US males smoke compared to 17% of females. That’s why it’s usually a sausage party in smoke filled rooms. You can poison yourself or masturbate covered in scat but do it in private. No one wants to see or smell that nasty shit.

it’s important to remember that these are everyday people who have fallen into an addiction that they desperately would like to quit but can’t.
I do understand your anger though. It is very very annoying and harmful for everyone else around smokers and you are justifiably upset about that.
Instead of being mad at the bottom level people, you should be mad at the billion dollar companies selling people these highly addictive drugs that ruin lives.
I also hate tobacco companies. I don’t actually hate tobacco smokers, I’m annoyed by them. I was addicted to alcohol for a long time. I get that addiction is a rough road but when I drank alcohol, no one was forced to drink with me. Smokers who smoke in public force everyone else to smoke. If they want to do it in their house or their own yard, I don’t care. I feel the same way about people who drive cars. The exhaust pipe should be inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle and they should have to drive with the windows closed. See how many miles they drive when it’s them inhaling their own poison gasses instead of the rest of us.

Naah, instead of “forcing” people to drink with you, you ended up blowing way too much money on drinks for a stranger you just met because “you like their face”, bet that person $100 that you could piss in a cup from across the bar, then when the bartender asked you to stop you asked her to “show you her tits”, then punched the stranger you bought a drink for earlier because “you don’t like their face”, then after getting kicked out of the bar you call your ex at 2 in the morning proclaiming your undying love, right before driving wasted to get back home and end up t-boning some poor soul and putting them in the hospital.
Y’know. The standard type of stuff alcoholics do when abusing their drug of choice. But by all means, tell me more about how I’m the worst person on the planet because my cigarette happened to bother you a little, Mr. Chug-A-Lug. 😉

Having kids with the world as it is? That is entirely too cruel. Have some heart.
I think thats a bit too rough, you need to calm down a little :)

Presumably because they’re just people, and don’t deserve death wished upon them?

Addiction sucks. I quit 2 years ago. It does feel nice to breathe clearly.
Unfathomably based
