Besides the way you always smelled of the stuff, what else do you, or did you, dislike about smoking? Here are some that I can think of quickly.

1) The nicotine that would drip down the walls of your bathroom, from the steam of the shower, that took forever to scrub away.

2) Running out.

3) The small wrinkles, around your mouth, that you know are going to come in time, if you keep smoking.

4) The price.

5) Your home smelling like stale smoke after you and other smokers were in there lighting up.

6) Wanting to smoke, but you can't find your lighter and have to resort to lighting it on the stove, and then taking a look at yourself and realizing how much of an ass you are to have to resort to that because this stupid little white thing, filled with tobbaco and chemicals, has you addicted to it, and that you are WEAK!

7) Feeling embarrassed to smoke in a restaurant, so you want to rush out of there so that you can enjoy one.

8 ) The nicotine film on the inside of your car windows that is a pain to remove.

9) Going without food so you have enough money to buy your beloved cigarettes.

10) That if it weren't for all of these things, and many more, including that they aren't good for your health, that you really do enjoy smoking.

Everything.

While I smoked I didn't really hate anything except running out (which NEVER happened )and the cost, but now that I'm smoke free I'm not really a big fan of any aspect of smoking.

I had a card party this weekend and my crib still reeks of smoke.

The dark circles under your eyes that smoking causes.

The "smokers cough".

White clothing becoming nicotine stained from the smoke in the air.

The fact that you know you look like an idiot smoking... there is nothing attractive about it at all, yet we don't stop.

Yep... it takes awhile for it to air out, and there is nothing out there that works to remove it other than opening the windows and time. Everything else, like sprays and candles and such, only tend to make the smell worse, because, though it tries it's hardest to mask the odor, all it does is mix with the nicotine and it smells even worse!

Yuck!

11. Standing outside your backdoor at 11.45pm on a wet, cold, windy and miserable Scottish November night smoking a fag because you promised you wouldn't smoke in the house because of your newborn daughter and wondering if smoking still made you look cool but deciding to spend your otherwise wasted 10 minutes trying to shake some life into your blue, numb fingers.

Helped me stop though

Smoking a fag...that expression just kills me

WHEN YOU'RE NOT THE ONE SMOKING, THE SMOKE IS ALWAYS IN YOUR FACE...
WHEN YOU ARE SMOKING, THE SMOKE IS ALWAYS IN THEIR FACE.

As a non-smoker...The taste and smell of it on someone's breath!! Some cigarrettes are way worse than others. I think for me the worst tasting and foulest smelling cigarette is Benson & Hedges...pretty much any flavor.

Others that qualify for high ranking stank...the generics, Doral, Merit, Newports.

I hate the taste and smell of it that I won't even consider dating anyone who smokes, no matter how hot he is. I always become resentful of it and it ruins any relationships I might try to have.

Ugh!!

The Price for sure...I heard recently that they might go up to 8bucks a pack in Cali...If I am gonna pay to kill myself it better be cheap...

the lung cookies

Smoking to me is just unattractive and I hate the smell...

and I am an occasional smoker... go figure!

TRUE! God, when I smoked and I would be in a restaurant and would finally light up... it would seem that my smoke, and ONLY my smoke would trail into everyone's face... but everyone else that was smoking at the table appeared to have smokeless cigarettes. That's the main reason that I stopped smoking in public, because mine always hit everyone.

I was raised with two smokers and my eyes would burn to the point the wouldn't open up. We would have to go through this ritual of me flushing my eyes out. I've NEVER smoked anything. It took my mom getting double pneumonia before she stopped.

<--- still enjoys smoking...can smell nothing

I SMOKE, AND MY BREATH STAYS MINTY FRESH!!!

ONE OF MY ASIAN FRIENDS HAS A THING ABOUT SMELLING
CIGARETTES (TURNS HER OFF), BUT WE'VE NEVER HAD THAT PROLLUM...

Christ, before I started smoking I was never that repulsed by cigarettes. I never really cared unless someone was blowing it right in my face.

I never entertained the thought of smoking when I was younger. I started smoking at the age of 28. It was a choice between starting smoking and crack so I thought i'd start smoking.

Kari...I have chosen not to smoke for 3 Months 3 Weeks 4 Days 23 Hours 43 Minutes 16 Seconds. Cigarettes not smoked: 2319. Money saved: $376.96.

Smokers breath is horrible...at least carry some candys or a travel size "Scope" you can get down at the chevron in mintygreen or blue.

Honestly, I fucking hate it when people (esp. people I don't know) bum them off of me. GO AWAY!!

I hate the way my fingers smell after I've smoked, but I'm trying to keep away from the smell-aspect cause it's so obvious.

I hate having to tie my hair back everytime I smoke in fear that my hair will singe. One of my friends has really long, beautiful hair and once I watched it happen to her.

Being harassed like fucking hell everytime I try to buy them cause I don't look legal (even though I have 3+ forms of ID)

When it's windy and I have to sit there and try and light the fucking thing and tie lighter just keeps going out and eventually I have to ask my friends for help.

Food for thought...

I already pay $5 a pack here.

SUCKS!

I quit smoking and drinking on Easter Sunday

On my way home from work on Tuesday I stopped and bought a few cans of Stella. Six cans later I went back to the shop and bought a few more beers and a packet of fags. :yaY:

I am a closet smoker.

I don't smoke in restaurants.

I don't smoke at work.

I don't smoke in my car.

I only smoke in one room in my house.

I really hate smoking but am teribbly addicted.

Me too! I hate telling people I smoke. And people knowing. Anyhow I ONLY smoke outside. I have never smoked inside. What's it like, guys?

Plus I don't even know if I count as a smoker anymore. I'm down to one every few days. And even those I don't care about. I can't be addicted.
