Bet you've also never heard anyone tell you they got an ls1 at 16 and didn't get one speeding or moving violation ticket until they were 19 . It's all about that self control.

I havent smoked a cig in 2 days, I have no carving for them. Ive been too lazy to go buy a pack, but today Im gonna go get a pack and start smoking again. I smoke cus I want to, its relaxing and tastes good. If you dont like my vice, oh well. Wait til our Hitler imposes taxes on something you like and the smokers can sit back and laugh as you taste the very oppression that you perpetuated.

Matter of fact, coffee is bad for people so i vote to raise taxes on coffee beans by 1000%. It makes me sick when i have to smell someones coffee, and coffee drinkers think they can just drink their coffee wherever they want. Those ********, they would quit if they had to pay $20 for a cup!

OK Mr. Cigarette lover, what is "******* ignorant" about my point? I think I'm tolerant and fair, but I don't think I should be subjected to have to smell anyone's smoke. I've already stated that I don't think cigarettes should be banned, that they should stop making them, or tax the hell out of them. Smokers have rights just as non-smoker do.

I do however feel that smoking should not be allowed indoors in an closed environment because it's a health hazard, and you think that's "******* ignorant"? IMO smokers can smoke all they want, but they should have to do it outdoors to where there is ventilation. I think that's a fair compromise. You obviously aren't considerate towards other people and couldn't give a rat's *** about whether your smoke is offensive, nor are tolerant of another opinion other than your own.

I dont mind being told where to smoke at, I understand that other people dont want to breathe my smoke in. Thats fine with me and Im a very polite smoker, I wont light up unless I know that it wont bother anyone. But what i do have a problem with is the government imposing their preferences on private business owners and stealing my money every time they get a chance. It blows my mind that you guys are willing to support more taxation of the American dollar, I guess its clear who yall voted for. Yall are perpetuating your own downfall whether you believe it or not. It isnt wise to argue with fools so lets agree to disagree and Im done.

Thanks for not participating in this discussion any further. You are in a completely different zip code from most logical people.

I know what he is saying but i don't really want to quit smoking, i kind of like it. But if i had a desire to quit $20 a pack would make it much easier. It was originally a joke but then someone decided to make a ******* argument about my comment. This is pointless . . .
