i still see quite a few friends and family and strangers who smoke.......cigarettes, cigars, mj, and hookah. there are quite a lot of hookah bars and cigar bars that have popped up in our area over the past 7 or 8 years. just because they smoke doesnt stop me from inviting them into my car, my home, my work. my s/o smokes and i am pretty sure he will NEVER quit. it would never stop me from being around him or from loving him. the people i am close with do not litter as far as i can see AND they go outside to smoke.

our condo complex at the beach requires you to smoke only in your individual units, however, with the system they have OR if people leave their balcony doors open, it is easy to smell the smoke......of all types.
Absolutely. They don't have leprosy just a "hobby" like others who drink, etc. do.
Stamp collecting is a hobby. Model building is a hobby. Kite flying is a hobby. Smoking is not a hobby. It is an activitiy that endangers the health and lives of both the smoker and those in their environment.

@QueenDanceALot Remember the old job applications that asked what your interests/hobbies/activities were?

"Smoking-it's my favorite hobby." ROTFL

"Closely followed by drinking and over-eating, as my second and third favorite hobbies." LOL

Personally, I find drunks much more repugnant. I have no sympathy for them. They kill people in auto crashes and throw their beer cans in my yard. I know so many people whose parents were alcoholics. It's very destructive. I can't believe they still allow people to drink in restaurants.
I just find this attitude so sad. Alcoholics are addicted. The ads for alcohol are everywhere. It's hard to go into a restaurant without seeing a fully stocked bar. We don't know how to help addicts. People need help, not scorn.
Tansy, my point is that it is now quite fashionable to denigrate smokers. It is a legal product, but smokers have been run out and restricted by the same people who drink and smoke marijuana, who somehow think that their sh** don't stink.. Its "that"very hypocritical, holier than thou attitude by others that I find sad. Tobacco, regardless of its health risks, is the original cash crop that was integral to the founding of this country. It is legal, and smokers are no worse people than drinkers or prescription addicts. But its OK to comment on how rude "they" are.

Thanks for the further explanation, @GrailSeeker. I am sympathetic to anyone caught up in any kind of addiction. I grew up with an alcoholic father and all the turmoil that brings to a kid. He did manage to kick cigarettes but still died of lung cancer.

Boy, it's great to see all this tolerance so many of you demand for every other thing that people are or do in society today, but can't tolerate 'these' people.

Many here aren't saying the habit or act is disgusting, but the people are. How sad that some people expect others to tolerate their 'rights' choices, decisions, but can't offer that back to others.

Typical.

Funny everyone thinks making marijiana legal is ok though so I guess smoking pot is certainly socially acceptable-

And for everyone asking why they throw butts out the window when was the last time you saw a car with an ashtray????

Maybe ask a pothead -they smoke while driving too how do they save theirs??????????

Pastime/hobby, all the same thing.

Yeah, a pastime is pretty much the same thing as a hobby but smoking is neither one.

So I gather you think that smokers should not be responsible for their refuse. Litter is litter. Perhaps smokers should carry ashtrays wherever they smoke. Like I mentioned earlier, it is disgusting to go to the beach when smokers consider all that sand to be their personal ashtray. If smokers wish to gain any respect, I think they should take some personal responsibility for their habit.

They can't put an ashtray in their car?
