How come everyone hates smokers????

Question

Do I hate you for being stupid????

Answer 1

I am a smoker and I know thats its bad for me but I do it anyway. but I am considerate for those around me who dont smoke. i just look at it this way, the air we breathe today isn't safe. it is just not from smokers.

Answer 2

I don't hate smokers. I used to be one. The major issue with smoking is that it is not only harming the smoker, but also everyone in the same room as the smoker. Smokers in general get a bad rap because there are some who feel it is their right to smoke anytime and anywhere they want and they don't take other people into consideration. It's a stereotype.

Answer 3

Not everyone hates smokers. Most people who don't smoke don't like anything to do with tobacco - the effects on them, smell, etc.

A big topic in the UK right now is the public smoking ban that will be introduced in July.

I would have thought the idea of having seperate rooms in pubs staffed by people who smoke would have solved many of the issues there - but the government has gone for a ban (notice they don't actually mind getting the tax revenue from tobacco)

Smokers are a minority with no ethnicity and so are an easy target.

Answer 4

Don't hate the smoker, just the smoke. It stinks, cause headaches, sinus problems, not to mention the long-term cancer problems not only for the smoker but all the people who have to be around the smoker. It's not the non-smoker who's stupid.

Answer 5

I don't believe that people hate the smokers themselves, they hate the habit.
It pollutes other peoples air, I have allergies and cannot be around second hand smoke because of it.

Smoking is dangerous to the health of the person who is doing the smoking, and is damaging to the health of their children and family around them.

Smoking can cause a lifetime of health problems to themselves, due to all the chemical ingredients that are in cigarettes that cause people to become addicted and find it difficult to quit.

Smoking can cause circulatory problems in women and men which can lead to reproductive difficulties and heart problems and strokes, as well as various types of cancer.

Smoking is also a very expensive habit, most people spend upward of five to ten dollars per day on smoking. You could be putting that money in a savings account and you would have between $1825.00 and $3650.00 in a savings account in one year.

That is a lot of money to have go up in smoke, literally. You can tell me I am stupid, but that is your opinion; and you don't know me personally and calling anyone else stupid because of your addition does not prove anything.

Have a good day, I for one am blessed that mine will be smoke-free.

Answer 6

Being a smoker I don't hate them of course. I just hate everyone the same. And for the people who hate my smoke, well about the only place I can smoke is on my porch in in my car and if that still bothers you than oh well, hate it for ya! Name something that is good for you?

Answer 7

I quit smoking 5 or 6 years ago and people do act like they hate you if you smoke. It's very weird that they feel they are in-titled to like or dislike you even if your not smoking around them and they give you dirty looks and the such. HOWEVER on the other hand, it does smell and my husband just had triple bypass due strictly to smoking everything else he did right except that. I feel so much better for quiting. IF you can do. If you can't you should never be treated badly because of such a strong (calculated by the tobacco companies) addiction.

Answer 8

HATE is such a harsh word. I'd say we don't hate smokers, but dislike the habit. First off, its bad for all of us, not just the smoker. In its own its a disease, taking over your body, whispering in your ear to take another puff. Honestly who ever invented the cigarette company, to produce millions of cigarettes, and tobacco should get the electric chair for murder. If he hasn't died from cancer already.

If you hate me for being stupid, that is just a stupid question all in its own. First off, you don't even know me, to know if I am or am not stupid.

Answer 9

It is the wafting smoke they hate.
Not you personally, well unless you are an unlikeable person... I don't know you...so- anyhoo,
I also don't like when people wear too much perfume, I don't hate them, just the inconsiderateness for others' air space.
There are alot of people that are allergic to those things, smoke & perfume.
It does not mean not to do it, just don't overdo it & be considerate for other's people's rights.
Alot of smokers, not all, alot of them have an attitude that they can blow smoke wherever they are... & not care.
It's the attitude that's hated, too.

Answer 10

Smokers release toxic chemicals into the air which causes cancer from second-hand smoke. Getting cancer from someone just because they are using a cigarette is a pretty good reason to disklike you...don't you think? Smoking is a bad habit that ruins your lungs. Why would you want to put toxic chemicals into your body in the first place?

Any being stupid isn't really something you can control. You can control putting a cigarette into your mouth!
