The two pitchers of beer and twenty wings I had last night? I know they're horrible for me. Still enjoyed every minute of it.
Wings taste good and beer lets you get drunk. Cigarettes do nothing for you. They don't get you high, they taste/smell like shit, and you pay a lot for nothing. Crackheads spend a little more and get so much more. I view them as much smarter.

Again, what does your opinion on it have to do with whether or not somebody chooses to do it?

You can think it's dumb all you like. But, it's their personal choice to do it.

I'd prefer if they didn't do it around me. But, don't give two shits if they smoke 12 packs a day.

Some people think wings taste like shit too. Ever notice how everybody everywhere doesn't always like exactly the same thing? Funny isn't it.

I completely support a private establishment's right to ban smoking, what I strongly disagree with is the Govt forcing them into no-smoking status. That is completely your choice to go to non-smoking only restaurants (which is exactly what I always did before the pussy laws came into effect) or to go to smoking places if you want to light up.

As far as smoking outdoors goes, don't be a pussy, just walk around them. Goddamn people have some ultra-thin skin anymore. Its a wonder we can even keep infectious bacteria from invading our bodies with weak-ass skin like this.

Smittie, why would anyone who isn't a complete idiot ride a motorcycle? They have been proven, over and over and over again to be FAR more dangerous and lethal than the 4-wheel alternative? Your helmet and leathers won't save you when shit goes raw on I-20 when surrounded by cars, pick-ups and semis. Not to mention road hazards such as gravel, oil, animals and refrigerators. I mean, obviously these people are extremely dumb (yes, I said dumb) to greatly risk shortening their lives or quality of life just to get from point a to point b.

We should outlaw those dangerous motorcycles! I'm gonna draft a petition...

People who don't ride motorcycles almost always understand why people do it. They just wouldn't do it themselves. However people who don't smoke can't figure out why people smoke other than they are addicts. If you smoke pot, shoot up heroine, do cocaine, or wack off 10x a day the people who won't will understand. They know there is a high that most everyone would enjoy if they did it. But cigarettes don't get you high. There is no way they can taste good and if they do then stick your head over a hickory bbq.

And even if you are addicted I don't see why you wouldn't do everything in your power to stop or take up some new vice.

I'm not saying the government (or anyone) should stop people from smoking. I just don't want them to blab on about how it is harmless or more specifically how it won't harm ME. You smell like shit, cost ME money due to your health problems, cause health problems for others, and are proven to be dumber overall.

And the fatasses who are stuffing their face with burgers are reacting to the natural instinct to eat. Though they are still pathetic themselves.

So what group of people do you not consider yourself better than? Or is it just that certain behaviors are ok....as long as you do them...

And no, not everyone who doesn't ride a motorcycle understands. I find that most don't actually.

How are chocolate and fast food addictive? What chemicals in them make your body dependant on it like nicotine does?
Haha, what better way to gain repeat customer business than FOOD ADDITIVES!

BTW Oreos are a big one that I know off the top of my head... 23 stimulants designed to keep you coming back for more. Sorta like the amount of "flavors in Dr. Pepper".

I'm a legend in my own mind so no one is better than me.

But seriously when you pick up a cigarette what do you get out of it? When you tell me you pick up a joint I understand why someone would do it. I can't for the life of me think of why someone would find a cigarette enjoyable other than fulfilling into their addiction that they wouldn't have if they never started. Or that they actually think they are cool. That shit lost it's cool back in the 50s.

Quoted for the TRUTH.

Most, if not all cagers think people who ride m/cs have a death wish.

And for the whole "smokers vs non smokers", you live your life, I'll live mine. I won't bitch about your habits, you don't bitch about mine.

As stated above, grow a thicker layer of skin and get a life.
