Yes, I said it and i will say it again, I think any young person who smokes is stupid. I'm not one to have pet peeves because I'm usually oblivious to what people do as long as it doesn't directly affect me, but I just get so annoyed when i see a young person smoking. It annoys the hell out of me, especially when said smoker is a med student or doctor. A lot of med students smoke weed, but that's a different story and that's not what i am talking about. I'm talking about cigarettes.
I got into a fight last year with a friend because he posted a picture of a cigarette butt with pink lipstick on it and i was like this is so stupid and he was annoyed because i was cursing his friend out. I just can't help myself, especially in this day and age when there is so much information about the dangers of smoking, so you can't claim ignorance. It's just a stupid habit people pick up when they are younger and then get addicted and can't stop. It's not cool at all.
If you are reading this and you smoke, i think you are stupid. You don't have to stop if you don't want to, only you will be hacking your lungs out when you end up with lung cancer. You might want to check the mortality rate for that. But then again, the mortality rate is 100% cos we are all going to die, so if that's the way you chose to go, that's the way you chose to go, but i still think you are stupid. Just my humble opinion.

So we are adjusting that warning under cigarette packs to "smokers are 'stupid' and liable to die young" . I think in most cases, they learn it from friends. You can't just go & light a cig if there's no peer pressure on you.
ReplyDeleteI feel you oh...I just don't understand how people can know that the thing kills and see many cancer cases and still not give a damn.
ReplyDeleteStupidity is definitely stubborn.
Common, dont be too hash on them. Some of them actually want to (wish they can) stop. But stopping a bad habit is no small deal. Its the same for every bad habit you can think of.
ReplyDeleteHi Madame Sting, I can't thank you enough for this free laughter this hot afternoon. "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" This is what they'll start saying later, when they can't stop the bad habit.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me when I hear that doctors and med students smoke because they know the dangers involved.
ReplyDeleteNo reason justifies smoking.
lol our family doctor smokes :(
ReplyDeleteYou can direct him to this post :)
DeleteI guess when they see the effects of smoking on other people, they always think it can't happen to them cos they are in control but it can.
ReplyDeleteI think it's more of an addiction than anything. Nicotine is addictive. The best thing is not to start at all cos it's hard to stop cos even when you see the effects, you can't help yourself. It takes a lot of effort to stop smoking.
