Alright, so literally a few minutes before I read that thread yesterday I found out that my middle/high school best friend's dad had his cancer come back, and she has a lot of problems herself because of the smoke. I was in shock and very angry. And when I was in high school, I was given shit for not doing it, so I always just kind of saw smokers as assholes. So I'm not going to take back what I said, because I know being angry doesn't give me the right to be cruel, I'll just re-word it.
It's not that I don't respect them as people, I just don't respect smoking... I just don't understand it. I've seen it ruin a lot of lives and waste a lot of people's money.
And to the guy up there who said he goes away from his family when he smokes, all the power to you. I may not respect smoking, but I respect that you have consideration for others.
