You know why cigarettes are to guilt???

Because they’re GOOD!  

I quit years ago but man sometimes I smell one and I want one.  

Yeah I quit years ago myself, but I did enjoy smoking.  

I have no desire to smoke now, except for an occasional urge to fire up a cigar when out fishing.  And no way I'm spending $5 for a pack of cigarettes, that alone is a reason to quit.  

Smokers stink too, you don't notice it when you smoke, but when you quit, ugh.

I can't understand why burning leaves and brush, burning trash, sitting by a campfire, or sitting behind a diesel truck at a stop light has no hazardous effects.....but just walk past a guy with some tobacco and you're doomed ?

People are freakin' crazy. 🙄

I am sure if you inhaled burnt leaves the same amount some one sucked on a cigarette it wouldn’t be good for you as far as diesel trucks, they by law use an additive that gets rid of the obnoxious particulate smoke they once belched...

exposing one’s self to known bad things like smoke, heavy metals, radiation and many chemicals is like playing Yahtzee, smoke and play with chemicals you get two dice, add radiation your get three, pretty soon it enviable you will get dead by it, many times you have no control over your exposure, like the people who lived in times beach where they “ got rid of some dioxin”....I always wonder how many of those folks are still alive

I used to ride bikes with a couple guys, and they'd get to the top of a bastard Hill and there I'd be smoking a cig.  They were all....Are you crazy? WTF is wrong with you?

I said, hey I'm just killing time waiting for you "healthy" jackasses to catch up to me!

Dude, you're a fisherman. You stink too, you just don't notice it until you quit playing with fish, scented jig trailers, and powerbait.  

My wife doesn't smoke, never has, and I told her that if my smoking ever bothered her to let me know. She bitches about everything else I do but has never said that I stunk.  I only smoke in my shop, on the deck, or in our kitchen which is somewhat isolated from the rest of the house.  I don't smoke in the vehicle unless the windows are down.     

That being said, I can't stand being in a smoke filled bar or in a room with 5 guys all smoking.

It isn't good for you, no doubt about that.  But what is?  Everything that a person eats, drinks, breathes, or is exposed to throughout their life is risky.

Well I can take a shower after fishing and wash out the stink, won't stink again till the next time.  You'll be stinking as soon as you fire up the next smoke.

Deny it if you want, cigarette smokers stink.  Quit smoking you'll see what I mean.  

[fishinwrench]

I ain't denying it.   But if you're standing close enough to smell me then I'd appreciate it if you'd back off anyway.   My wife, kids, and dog are the only ones that have any reason to be that close to me.

Don't have to be that close,  quit someday and you'll understand.

I can handle being around smokers in the open, but it gags me in enclosed areas. How people find that "fun" is beyond my comprehension. A coworker of mine smells like a straight up ash tray when you get anywhere near him.
