Yeah, their skin starts looking all dingy and dull. They also get "smoker's lips", you know lips that have all those litle wrinkles surrounding them that come from the constant puckering and puffing their ciggies. Plus, they can't even run a block without getting out of breath.

Smoking is SO fucking nasty. I don't see what kind of satisfaction people get from doing it. And it's stupid to put something in your body that it doesn't need. You only get one body. This isn't a dress rehearsal. And you spend SO much money on it. Oh my GOD. There's this one customer who spends $40 every 2 days on cigarettes. I'm not even gonna add up how much that is monthy/annually, because it's an absurd amount of money being spent on something they don't need. But everytime i've said to a smoker "You should stop smoking. It's bad for you." and their brilliant reply:
"I know. *puff*" I couldn't date a smoker. That'd be grounds for breaking up. Justyn smokes. He better keep his ass in Alabama.

I don't think I could date a smokere either. They breath is usually nasty, I think it would be like kissing an ashtray. Sometimes if I'm in a bar/lounge or restaurant and someone next to me is smoking, the smoke will give me a headache.
Also, they usually don't smell "fresh." That stale smoke permeates their clothes, pores, hair and home.

It really does age people badly... alters their natural voice as well

i happen to enjoy smoking. started when i was about 26 after i got sober.
what makes it so hard to quit, is that you dont see the damage done.
drugs, alcohol etc... are right in your face from the word go.

Far as appearance wise men get away with it so much more then woman. I see woman in the salon all day seeing our plastic surgeon to book laser work ( Or what I refer to as face off ) It is extensive and it works but most keep smoking and are back before you know it....

I wonder how long he is meant to live.

i understand the reasoning...but it is soo difficult to quit. i keep on trying though. its easy to say to yourself that its disgusting, stinky, expensive, risking your health, etc...but when the craving hits...its like nothing else matters.

Just replace it with another but positive habit. That's how I stop my bad habits. And customers that smoke get on my fucking nervous system. They'll come to me and say "I need cigarettes." and i'm like "....." and then they're like "....." then I say "well...what kind?" Because we sell like...20 different brands and shit. And they'll say "Newports." and I'm like "....." and they're like "....." then I say "Newports soft pack, box, soft pack 100, box 100, medium box, medium box 100, lights box, lights 100.." and they're like "yeah."
