First off, let me just apologize in advance because whenever I have a long, arrogant post, at least one person gets offended by it. So, in advance, I apologize if anyone found my last post or this post offensive in any or every way.

People who want to smoke are just... well... not very... smart. I mean, you are given this wonderful life, and just for some cigarettes that grant you joy, you would cut you life in smaller pieces. "Life's too precious to waste," but I feel that people who chose to smoke just because they want to already wasted a lot of it. Smoking reduces moments from your life, and it speeds up the time till you death. For someone to throw away their life is just a horrible, horrible mistake.

If a person just smokes rarely, that's way better than someone that's addicted to smoking. If, say, my Grandpa smokes a cigar every few months, that wouldn't hurt, but people who smoke every single day are killing themselves literally! When someone smokes almost or more than a pack a day, then you know that they have a problem. It may be hard to stop, but those people know, for a fact before and while they smoke, that it would destroy them.

Yet you say that you want to smoke just because. You should always think three times again about what you really want to do. The choices you make gravely affect your life. Just because you want to smoke doesn't mean you should smoke! I know that you know about all smoking does to you before you started, right? Yet you still intend on smoking. That is a terrible error.

Some of you might say that this is a bad analogy, but it really isn't. If a person gets depressed, you know that they'll think about suicide sometime. They want to kill themselves, isn't that right? But do they in the end? They might, we don't know that, but they do think about whether or not they should commit suicide. Because after the person goes through depression, they will think back about how they wanted to die, and they will regret ever thinking that. The same thing applies for smokers. I don't know if smokers ever regret smoking or not since I am not a smoker, but I do know that after they quit, they will realize how stupid they were to smoke in the first place.

Another thing you can compare this to is a person in jail. Weird, I know, but it fits. Think about it this way: a person gets really mad at someone, and that person is thinking about burning the house of whoever it is that they are mad at. Sure, they'll feel a lot better after they do it, and they might even do it again, but you know that when they get caught and end up in jail, they'll regret it. They'll regret letting their mind take over and not thinking it straight.

If a smoker is lying in his or her deathbed due to lung cancer which they caused by choosing to smoke, so you think that they'll think, "I can't believe how stupid I was! Why did I ever smoke? I knew that this would happen to me, but I didn't think about it straight. Now I'm going to die early because of a single mistake!" or do you think that they'll think, "So what? I smoked, big deal! I chose to do what I felt like, and if this is what I get, fine! I don't care; I going to die anyway, right?" I would think that most people would think or the former one.

But here's something that I want to make clear: I don't hate smokers! You might think I do after what I said, but don't get me wrong! I have family and friends who smoke, but that doesn't mean I hate them; I still love them. I don't hate the person; I hate the smoking. If my friend smokes, I wouldn't mind, but I wish that he would quit. However, if he tells me that I have to smoke to stay friends, then I would ditch him. But I would advise him to quit and help him quit. So, we got that cleared? I hate smoking, not smokers!

That's all I have to say now. I just think that smoking is a disgusting habit and a horrible decision to make, and I will never smoke. I know why you people chose to smoke in the first place, but you know that it's bad for you, don't you? Before yo get lung cancer, I would strongly advise you to stop smoking. In all honesty, I'm not trying to be rude; I'm only speaking the truth. I know that this isn't the first time that you've heard this. Once again, I apologize if anyone finds this offensive or patronizing, and once again, I am against smoking!

Thank you! -Fayt
