eww. smokers. gross. seriously. even if you're a friend of mine, that's what i think about smoking/smokers. if you ARE a friend of mine~ don't worry...i still love you. :) i just hate the smell of it~ and i don't like it when u smoke around me.

it's not bad enough that i hate the smell of smoke, is it? i mean...my boss & 3 coworkers (i only have 2 non-smoking coworkers; it's a small office) smell like cigarette smoke all the time. but...noooo...my boss has to smoke INSIDE the office. like...right in front of my face. 24-7. ewww...i get a HEADACHE from this, to make it worse. and then my HAIR reeks of it. NASTY. and my clothes, too. so then i get in my car, and my CAR reeks of it. GREAT. just GREAT.

sometimes, when my sajang makes me go out and buy him cigarettes, butane fluid, flints, etc, i want to just NOT. cuz i KNOW he's gunna smoke it inside the office. the smoke's going to come into my nostrils, into my lungs...and CHOKE me. ewww...sickening. and it's not like he doesn't ever go outside to smoke. he does. but he goes right outside the front door..and leaves the door open. so i'm freezing AND i breathe in all the smoke n/e wayz since i'm right by the front door. PERFECT. just PERFECT.

and i just found out 3 ppl (2 of whom are VERY near & dear to me) smoke. not fun. and i told them...as well as some others...that i don't really care they smoke. well...i do, but i'm not gunna give them crap about it. if they wanna risk lung cancer, gum cancer, smelliness, emphyzema, affecting others with second-hand smoke, among many other yucky things, that's their prob, right? who am i to lecture THEM about all that? it's not like i never tried it...or hung around with ppl that did it all the time. i just hate the smell...cuz it gives me a headache.

some ppl hide cigarette smoke well. REALLY well. and that's great, i guess. but seriously...why smoke? it's just a waste of money. does it relieve stress for you? my psychology professor mentioned in his lecture that it does relieve stress. but each time, it raises your stress level. so that...over time, it relieves you of stress, but your stress level doesn't reach the original level. it stays way above. do you get what i mean? and...it's very addicting for some people. even a couple a day is addicting. believe me...many, MANY friends of mine are having trouble from quitting from just a few a day. for others, it may not be addicting. so then, WHY SMOKE? it's really just very yucky. i don't get it. and aren't we all beyond that stage of "it makes me look cool"?

i really do worry about my smoker friends, although i don't really express it very often. it's not just about me, either. i genuinely worry about ppl that smoke. seriously. and...for ppl around ppl that smoke, also. for instance, i'm at disneyland. DISNEYLAND! and there are adults SMOKING there. where CHILDREN are, for crying out loud!! geez. no respect...no consideration whatsoever.

i'm sure smokers complain, too. "where do WE have to smoke?" sure, sure..i'll give u that. u don't really have many places to smoke, right? but...if you smoke in the open, we have no choice but to sniff it all up. NASTY. why don't smokers get their own room? without ventilation. where they can just SMOKE all their crap up. and...there should be vacuums that they can suck all that nasty stuff off of themselves...so that the rest of the nonsmoking world isn't FORCED to smell all that nasty crap?? like...2 sets of doors. so there's a room before you leave the room...where u can clean & stuff. and potent soap & lotion to take that nasty smell off the hands...and really potent mouthwash & toothpaste so i don't smell it with every syllable that comes out of your mouth?? (this is for the not-so-careful smokers...most of my friends are really good about not smelling nasty)

and i know the rest of us smell nasty sometimes, too. of other crap. iono. b.o? uhh...bad breath? nasty lotion? so we should all do our parts, right?

p.s.
i'm writing this while breathing in that nasty cigarette smoke...poor me
