"I wish smoking was just a LITTLE bit bad for you.
Bad enough to keep away the bouncy, sporty types, and super-busy managers. But not bad enough to kill you.
Then it would be ace. I want to stand with the smokers again."

Then go get a vapouriser and use 0% liquids, about as dangerous as sniffing the steam from a bath with bubbles in.
Find cheap shoes first though, for the wannabe dm sad face reporters.

I think they might be the sort of people who watch daytime television as well Wink

TealFanClub · 06/07/2015 14:39

All you non smokers are going to look like damn fools lying in the hospital dying of nothing.

VanillaTwirl · 06/07/2015 14:47

Smoking is so sociable and v v glamorous - was always at my best with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
It only became less amazing when the killjoys banned us from everywhere tbh.

I miss smoking - I smoked for 23 years because I enjoyed it!

I have no wrinkles either, and a selection of fine shoes.

TealFanClub · 06/07/2015 15:21

Perhaps fags are actually an elixir of youth - none of the ex-smokers here except me seem to have any wrinkles.

Jengnr · 06/07/2015 15:32

You know what I think when I see those smokers?

Lucky lucky bastards!! I'd love to smoke again. They were great days. sigh

IhateMagic · 06/07/2015 15:32

I was a cool smoker, like, Marlon Brando cool. Could roll a fag one handed, blindfolded in a storm hanging upside down you get the idea but, after so long I began to feel like scum. I envied the clean girls, fresh, no baccy in their pretty handbags. I quit, but still miss being cool!

RachelRagged · 06/07/2015 15:34

Oh DFO OP

Sick of all this smokers bashing ! How many of you so aghast at it have cars ? Even walking down the street there is polution .

MAYBE its thanks to whingers like you who managed to get rid of smoking everywhere with your paranoiad entitlement !! Ok in middle of winter I suppose ay ? Piss off.

Allbymyselfagain · 06/07/2015 15:36

I'm sooooo bored of sanctimonious judgy twats glaring at me when I have a fag. How about im allowed to scrutinise your outfit/hairdo/make up/parenting skills and tell you what I think of you? Oh but I won't because I have MANNERS. I'll go have another fag and calm down again

TheHouseOnBellSt · 06/07/2015 15:37

AllByMyself my sister does a little "Happy fag dance" when she sees people looking at her smoking....think River Dance with lots of manic grinning.

RachelRagged · 06/07/2015 15:41

OP sounds nasty , , Judging their shoes >?? Wrinkles ??

I smoke .. 48 and no wrinkles, Some friends I met via another the other day thought I was 43 or so , ,NOT a stealth boast just showing OP up for what she obviously is , A Goady Fucker

RachelRagged · 06/07/2015 15:42

Hear Hear AllByMyself .. . I alas speak my mind but it grinds my gears too,

They're only miserable outside 'cos you moaning gits won't let them do it inside any more.

I got a hell of a lot more fresh air and sunshine when I smoked though, nowadays I only get out at lunchtime - used to have a couple of fags an hour "back in the day" - well worth it when you looked at the grey faced troglydytes that never got outside at all......

FineDamBeaver · 06/07/2015 15:45

Why, ilove? I think OP's just messing around

Volenflo · 06/07/2015 15:47

Nice.
