Smokers Suck!

Monday, April 10, 2006

Everyone should agree with me that smoking sucks. If you’re a smoker and you don’t agree with me, its because you’re stupid. I know that’s offensive, but its meant to be. I know some of you smoke, but most of you don’t want to smoke, but you’re stuck in the tar. This shouldn’t be offensive to those people because you agree it sucks.

I don’t smoke and I feel that I’m more of a person because I don’t. Smoking sucks not because I say so, but because its (1) An Addiction (2) Expensive (3) Hazardous to your health (4) Socially unacceptable, should I go on?

Twenty years go smoking was cool, 40 years ago smoking was considered more important than reproduction, and nothing is more important than reproduction, Nothing!

Currently, smoking isn’t cool. When I find out someone at work smokes be watching them feeding their craving downstairs in the hot Florida sun, I look at them and tell them disappointment in my voice, “Oh man … you smoke? That’s terrible”

No one ever fights me on that. That’s how I tell them they suck, and how they tell me they agree with me that they suck.

Bumper stickers have been used for political outcries for a while now. I love them. This one blew my mind. So funny. Wonder what the percent of people are smokers in the US. I hate smokers, but I love the internet, found some cool statistics:


U.S. Smoking Statistics

Tobacco use remains the single most preventable cause of death in the United States. More than 400,000 Americans die each year from tobacco-related disease.

Someone dies from smoking every 72 seconds.

Smoking causes more deaths than alcohol, AIDS, illegal drugs, car crashes, fires, murders, and suicides combined.

In the United States, an estimated 25.9 million men (27.1 percent) and 22.8 million women (22.2 percent) are smokers. These people are at higher risk of heart attack and stroke. About 4.1 million teenagers ages 12 through 17 are smokers. The latest estimates for persons age 18 and older show...

  • Among non-Hispanic whites, 26.5 percent of men and 23.6 percent of women smoke.

  • Among non-Hispanic blacks, 29.0 percent of men and 21.3 percent of women smoke.

  • Among Hispanics, 24.7 percent of men and 13.3 percent of women smoke.

  • Among Asians / Pacific Islanders, 17.9 percent of men and 9.9 percent of women smoke.

  • Among American Indians/Alaska Natives, 41.7 percent of men and 38.1 percent of women smoke.
