What the fuck? Did you guys just spend 3 pages arguing about the meaning of the word ironic? We need to get back on topic.
So while I think that you do have a right to smoke, at the same time I have the right to think you smell like ass and lump you in with the people who don't shower.

I smoked for about 9 months or so as a younger man. I eventually realized (while under the influence of another harmful substance) that I was only doing it because it allowed me to burn off my nervous energy by keeping my hands and mouth busy. I got self conscious about this, thinking others could detect that it was a sign of weakness. So that was it, I just smashed up and threw the rest of my pack away then and there. No last cigarette, nothing. One drug prompted me to stop another. Kind of... ironic, right?
Also, I know the feeling of nervous energy all too well. I'm always twitching and shaking without meaning to. Some part of my body is almost constantly in motion.
I don't smoke, never seen the appeal. Don't smoke weed, although I occasionally consume it. However, I would like to start smoking cigars. Don't know why, they just seem dignified or something. Albeit, a bit smelly.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.
I don't hate smokers, I just know that "some" not all, are kinda inconsiderate when it comes to others breathing the smoke. I hate seeing parents with kids and babies in the car with them and all the windows are freaking rolled up and the mom or dad is puffing away. I just think that is really selfish. But I do have friends that have kids that smoke outside never inside of the house, and never smoke in the car. They realize that they don't have to share their habit with everyone else, especially their kids.
I used to smoke in school. Just because we could. The smoking age limit was 16 back then and I looked older than 16 anyway. Maybe the the reason I started was because we used to go to my mates shed and smoke weed during lunchtimes. I just needed an extension of that when I couldn't get my hands on my own weed. The strange thing was I never really had a compulsion to do it and one day I just stopped. Think it was around my end of year exams, I was too busy to smoke and I just forgot to do it. Then never did it again. Every now and then I want one when buddies are having a smoke or such on they way home from the pub but I never give in.
I'm not anti smoking, it's your body. Just as long as you're not being obnoxious about it then I don't care. Just like I don't go farting in your face for a couple of minutes every now and then I don't expect people to smoke in my home or in my car or in my personal space, just because the smell gets stuck in my hair or in my clothes but also smoke stains walls and I don't want to have to paint my damn ceiling and once somebody smokes in a car you can never really get rid of the smell, which lowers the value if I want to resell.
I can't hate smoking because that would make me a hypocrit but it's not the nicest smell in the world (well, weed is nice but not a desirable oder to have at work etc) it's nice to just go to a bar (in this country smoking in public places is illegal) and come back without smelling of other peoples smoke.

Which is why you became the Action Sequence Pro right?
