I hate…. people who can’t give up smoking

Yes, I’m still alive, despite numerous people wishing otherwise. One of the fantastic things about being me is that you’re never short of a few death threats now and again. It certainly gives me a smile whilst I’m enjoying my cereal in the morning.

One thing that pisses me off a great deal is people who say that giving up smoking is difficult, or “the hardest thing they’ve ever tried/done’. Clearly these people lead sheltered lives, because I don’t imagine they’ve ever tried climbing a mountain, or inserting a pineapple into their ass. Those are some difficult things, let me tell you. The people who use that excuse basically haven’t even bothered to try. They don’t want to give up, which is what it’s really all about.

The most common excuse I hear from assholes who’ve failed to give up smoking is; “I enjoy it too much” or “It’s the only enjoyment I get”. Shit, please, who the fuck are you trying to kid? That’s blatantly the anthem of the people too weak to give up smoking. I’m sure people addicted to crack enjoy their addiction too, but at least they don’t fucking delude themselves about it.

Before anyone claims that I “don’t know what it’s like”, think again. I used to be a full-time smoker. One week in January I fell ill and couldn’t smoke for around 5 or 6 days. When I’d eventually got back on my feet, I figured that as I hadn’t smoked in 5 or 6 days, what point was there in lighting up again? 7 months later, I still haven’t touched a cigarette, nor do I want to.

It amuses me how there are all these fucking give up smoking aids that do nothing to address the underying cause of the addition; which is that your body is addicted to nicotine. You think that you’ve given up when you’ve covered your body in patches, you use nicotine gum, and you have a fucking nicotine inhaler? You haven’t given up anything. All you’ve done is taken an addiction and made it healthier by removing the tar and other potentially cancer causing materials. You are still, fundamentally, an addict. You really expect praise for that? What a great achievement, congratulations douchebag.

If you people really want to give up smoking, you will. No ifs, no buts, no excuses, you’ll just do it. You don’t need all these bullshit aids that cost more than cigarettes themselves. Stop being such weak loser pussies and just STOP SMOKING.

    I quit smoking. I has been about five years now. I miss it sometimes when I get really stressed out, but for the most part it was a great choice.

    That being said, I hate alot of things too. I think the thing I hate the most is that Michael Pitt does not love me. That I hate worse than anything. But also I hate other things like my job and soap operas and people who smell bad. But mostly it’s the Michael Pitt thing.

    Nice blog.

    Reading this one was bittersweet… Mostly bitter, like the nasty, sour taste of hypocrisy or a flaming stick of death lodged in between your gums.

    You attack current smokers and seemingly glorify your own magnificent ability to quit…

    …why were you so mentally weak that you were influenced to start in the first place?

    Smoking is fucking disgusting and it’s one of the most grotesque socially-acceptable behaviors left in society today. What makes it even worse is that you’re not only killing yourself by doing it, you’re killing others around you.

    It’s funny though… Weed is criminalized here (USA) while tobacco and alcohol abuse run rampant throughout the country.

    Me, personally? I’d kill (again, speaking hypothetical here) every one of you goddamn nicotine addicts and alcoholics for poisoning my society. (Yes, that would include you by proxy, Vince, as you’re a former smoker and would’ve been dead for years now on principle alone for your contribution to this sick habit’s perpetuance.)

    Kinda like what Stalin was doing with the Soviets, except Soviets have redeeming qualities such as their amazingly beautiful child sex slaves and their hilariously unpronouncable names… Won’t find any of that shit in a goddamn drunk chain smoker… Unless they’re, like, a little booze hound nymphet with a name like Slaytyaviskomova Emphysema or somethin.

    Clearly you need to be beaten-the-fuck-to-death with a dictionary, because how the fuck can it be hypocrisy when I’m an ex-smoker, idiot? The article wasn’t about smoking, it was about people who make excuses for being unable to give up. Perhaps if you weren’t so full of yourself and your excessively long bullshit comments, you wouldn’t have forgotten the content of the article you’d just read?

    I don’t glorify anything, you pathetic little pissant. I merely illustrate that as an ex-smoker, and as someone who has successfully quit, I know it can be done. All it takes is trying. None of this bullshit “I enjoy it too much” fucking excuses.

    Now, enjoy Lemonparty.

    Totally agree. What is worse is people who complain about having to go outdoors to smoke. Bunch of filthy, smelly bastards the lot of them.

    @Vince
    You fat bastard - That’s right, you know ;D

    To QuoteTVUnquote.

    You would kill all smokers and/or ex-smokers for ”poisoning” your society.. and.. we are killing everyone around us?

    Firstly, I’m not even sure how you’d justify it’s killing you or anyone around you. If your excuse is second hand smoke, then my excuse will be - get the fuck away from me. No one’s twisting your arm to stand next to me or anyone else smoking outside a building or next to my stool at the bar counter, I’d much prefer you go sit a good twenty feet away from me on that old man’s lap that isn’t smoking. In fact, in several states, including my own, nearly all indoor establishments are prohibited by law to have a smoking section or even allow it. This is bullshit and follows the same narrowminded bias concepts your spewing.

    How can I say this without being bias myself? It comes down to choice. The government has so ”gracefully” decided what is and isn’t ”healthy” for us and has done us the ”justice” of removing the choice straight from the system. I don’t give a fuck if I can’t smoke at the local diner or bar at 1am anymore, it does however torque me that someone can’t purchase their own bar and decide whether or not their customers can smoke in it because some whiney cunt waitress or waiter doesn’t like getting paid to serve drinks through a cloud of smoke. - Here’s a hint, get a different job you stupid fuck. Noone’s forcing you into that particular employment.

    Your complaint is that cigarettes and alchohol are killing your ‘’society”. Really? Are they? Do I really have to bring up the generic ”guns don’t kill people, people do” arguement? Some stupid shit drinks too much and runs into a 90 year bat crossing the street. Alright, sad story, but it comes down to self accountability. That particular person was a stupid fuck and probably should find a nice square brick to sit on and spin. Agreed. But if I want to grab a twelve pack and drink in the comfort of my own home, I’ll be damned if some arogant fuck like yourself can sit and judge me, a person they’ve never met, and find their statement’s justified. Kindly go get fucked.

    How the fuck do you justify killing every smoker/drinker (”hypothetically”)? Your complaint is it, itself, is killing people…. sooo… you’d turn around and follow the same concept? Scream hypocrisy when your opinions or ”hypothetical delusions” don’t endulge it. Again, you don’t know me, you don’t know everyone that drinks and/or smokes, and you can get fucked for using whatever negative generalization you’ve conjured in your fat head for these kind of people. Albert Eistein smoked, should we have smothered him in his sleep for his ”crimes against society”? How deep and long under a rock do I need to live in order to think like you? Please tell me, so I can started planting land mines ”X”-feet beneath every rock I see to ensure I run into fewer dumbfucks like yourself.

    To Vince.

    Damn straight. Whenever I’m badgered by someone for smoking and they ask why I don’t quit, my response is ”I don’t want to.” I like smoking, I don’t want to stop smoking, so I don’t. And I don’t make excuses for it like its a fucking sin.

    Good blog. Even as a smoker, I hate hearing lame excuses for peoples habbits.

    I hate these people too GAWD DAYUM!

    I have even threatened my family with legal proceedings for smoking around me, this is how much of an asshole I am.

    I don’t deserve a job, useless waster like me!

    Obama? What an ass, I bet he touches goats.

    Y’know, sometimes my lawyer and I go down to this lake and explore our sexuality.. sometimes it gets out of hand.. I’m just thankful I can’t get pregnant!
