there is a large step between smoking/ driving 1mph over the speed limit and murder. it takes a huge step to do that, you are preaching pure radicalism. you sound like some scared radical trying to impose his ideas on the masses. are you going to drink the kool-aid so you can escape the terrible smokers?
smoking in the trees, how far are these people into the trees. first off no smoker would go into the trees to have a smoke, the only thing you smoke in the trees are trees so first off the trees is a terrible example. second off how far do you think these smokers would travel into the trees, they probably wouldnt go more than a few feet past the edge of the run. on the lift you are 30+ feet away from the next closest chair and wind is blowing by causing pretty much any exhaust to blow away from the next chair.
grow the fuck up kid, its smoking deal with it. smokers arent anymore likely to be a douche bag than you or me, and if they smoke in inappropriate areas where they are in close proximity to others who are not smoking, then they are an ass. but smoking on the lift is not one of those places. you are at least 30ft away from the person behind you and there is always wind which blows the smoke away causing very little smoke inhalation for other riders. smoking in the lift line is fucked up, but not on the lift.
have you ever skied by a snow cat? have you noticed all the exhaust coming off of it? have you ever been by camp fire? have you noticed all of the smoke billowing into your face? have you ever smoked weed? have you ever been stuck in traffic on the freeway? have you ever been in a city? im sure you can answer yes to all of those, so why are you getting so butt hurt over a smoker 30-50 feet in front of you up on a breezy lift.
seriously all of these negative posts being assholes to smokers are probably all under 16.
(directed at edew19) sure smoking is bad for you but people do it anyways, that doesnt make them dumb. im sure you have done dumb things before, you knew they were dumb but you did it anyways, why? because you enjoy it. enjoying something thats bad for you doesnt make you an idiot, we all ski but we know we could die any day doing it. smokers know smoking is bad for them but they enjoy it so live and let die be it their choice.
you guys, i dont even smoke and i am defending these smokers because you guys are being complete immature assholes. how do you feel when that random kid tells you how gay skiing is, sure its not that big of a deal, but what if every kid pounced on you telling you are an idiot for skiing, and how much of a douche bag you are, im sure you wouldnt like it.
come on kiddies, grow up. its called the real world
