Scum of the Earth: Smoking Drivers
I don't smoke. I dislike smokers and I especially dislike smoke pushers, the people who think that unless you are slowly filling your lungs up with enough smoke to spend the last 5 years of your life hacking and wheezing and breathing via oxygen tanks that you aren't cool or worth knowing. I think that those of us who can breathe unassisted are actually the cooler, smarter ones. Sure, we might miss you when you're dead but I've got no desire to jump into the grave with you. The worst kind of smokers however, are those that smoke and drive. There is nothing more revolting. I see someone puffing away on a death stick and driving and my reaction is visceral.
Yesterday I saw a woman in a sports car, with an expensive hairdo and super long nails puffing away as she was driving. She might have thought she was hot shit, but to me she looked like the worst kind of white trash. You could be the hottest, sexiest, most popular woman on the face of the planet, but the second you get into a car and start on the fags you become the lowest common denominator.
And let's face it, you are. You can't even get from A to B without succumbing to your addictions. That's pretty damn pathetic. Not only do you not have friends because you smell like a rubbish dump and if you're a coffee drinker as well then you smell like the newly risen dead, but you're also alienating people you've never even met who see you sucking down a ciggie as they drive past and think "Jeez, how trailer trash is that?"
Men are just as bad as women, although I suffer the urge to punch their teeth in far less than women because most of the men already look like bogans, usually driving utes and wearing wife beaters, so there's not much lower in the social scale they can really fall to. Women at least, are clean about their disgusting habits. I've known men to drive cars where the entire floor of the car is so covered in cigarette butts that you can't tell what colour the floor is (obviously it's brown since it's covered in dirt, ash and scum grime, but if you wanted to see what colour it was you couldn't). Seriously dudes, your car is a crack den. That's gross.
The moral of this story is that smoking is revolting. It makes women look like trailer trash and men look like dirty bogans. Zombies smell better than you. You are gross.
DISCLAIMER:
This is my opinion of ALL smokers, including those in my family and every single one of my friends.
Ok Kaitee. sorry, I subscibed as anonymous, something is wrong because I can not connect even if I am registered (user: infowebexplore). Anyway, I got your point on my website. Well, you are right and I undestood perfectly what you said. Working in the medical system it is scarying being exposed visually to these kind of diseases. I am also freightened when I see pictures and videos about the effects of the smoking such that the next thing coming to my mind is to quit smoking from that moment. but of course after a while I forget and start back with my habit. Now, the reason why I am puzzled. I do not understand to whom these campaigns are assigned for. Smokers or non-smokers. If they point to the smokers then it is ok for me (it means someone cares about "my category" :),,,instead I hear more and more nonsmokers compaining that I incline to think that all propaganda is for their protection. If so, in this situation, I would ask a nonsmoker where, when and for how long is exposed to smoke??? in general in the street do not think someone is affected (plenty of space), at their home no problem, in institutions as well, therefore the only inconvenient places are the pubs. Do you really think someone inhaling smoke for a short time from another person could be touched to death? How many times a week can someone frequent the pubs? let's say in general at the weekend and even then suppose it does not spend the whole day inside. My oppinion is that this became an purposed reason of the nonsmokers to complain. Not really because they feel any smell around, but because they are a bit maniacs (ha). In nowadays society people are different and you can not constrain them because it does not work for all. A clear example is here in Nederland. As well known the Dutch drug policy is pretty liberal with stuff like marihuana, magic mushrooms, etc. It is a pragmatic policy but works better than anywhere else. The idea is: if a problem has proven to be unsolvable, it is better to try controlling it instead of continuing to enforce laws.(some sources about the Dutch Health Center studies can be found on wikipedia).
Well,,,I think I wrote too much, maybe more than the original articla itself, sorry,but I just expressed my oppinion and you know,,,it is not easy in a few words.
Hope I did not bother you.
Greetings.

Yes, I recieved the message. I've had a problem with spam comments in the past so all comments made anonymously have to go through an approval process before they are published. It's time consuming but much nicer than seeing ten pages of spam per one legitimate comment.
It doesn't really matter whether a person frequents pubs and clubs several nights a week or only every once in a while for a particular occasion. Is it really fair for a non-smoker, who might be a non-smoker because they're severely asthmatic for instance, or just because they don't like the smell, to be surrounded by people blowing smoke around the inside of a building where there is a limited supply of fresh air from outside? I never really went out very often when I was younger but when I did, I always came home with my hair and clothes stinking of other people's smoke and it would make me feel dirty.
The smoking laws here in Australia are more controlling the problem than enforcing laws that prohibit smoking. There's no law that says you can't smoke but the law does state that you have to be considerate about it. Not smoking in shopping centres is common sense. Not smoking in restaurants is a godsend, there's nothing that really ruins a nice expensive meal than by someone at the table next to you smoking (in Melbourne it is still allowed and we had to move tables because the woman just lit up one after another and it was pretty foul and my husband was getting very angry). Not smoking around children's play areas is also common sense, as is not smoking in enclosed spaces like pubs and clubs.
Studies have shown that passive smoking and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke contain just as much of a health risk to people who don't actively smoke. Is it really fair to expose others to that knowing that the risks for them are just as great?
Some people just really don't care who their smoking effects and others do. Sure, it might be unfair to tar everyone with the same brush, but the fact is that the minority who don't give a toss and willingly inflict themselves on others are the ones that people have an issue with and feel compelled to complain about. My brother is a smoker, yet he always excuses himself from the conversation, goes outside and away from everyone to smoke because he doesn't want to smoke in front of people who don't like it. If more people were as considerate there probably wouldn't be such a huge anti-smoking lobby.
