Smokers

People love to complain about smokers. And deservedly so. But people never seem to hit upon the same reasons as me when it comes to their dislike of this foul breed of human.

Yes, they smell. They don’t usually know they smell and refuse to believe that they do … but I think it’s pretty well established that if you smoke, you stink. It can’t be avoided!

This isn’t what gets to me.

Yes, they’re blowing out used cigarette smoke into the air – contaminating the air that you’re breathing, increasing your chances of all sorts of illnesses and diseases. Again, it’s well documented so I need not go into it here.

Obviously, that’s annoying, but still isn’t my biggest problem.

The things that really get to me about smokers are pretty much ignored or simply accepted my most people.

Isn’t it incredibly annoying that smokers just LOVE to sit in the no smoking areas of restaurants?

You don’t see this in the UK any more, as smoking has been banned in restaurants anyway, but it still happens all over the world, every day. They’re fully admitting that it’s unpleasant to be near people that smoke! What kind of weirdness is going on in their heads at this point?

“Ew, smokers. They’re disgusting. I want to sit in the no smoking section. But first, I think I’ll have a fag!”

… and of course, they then come back to the no smoking section in a cloud of cigarette smoke and nicotine stench for all of the non-smokers to enjoy. Now, THAT is annoying!

Sit with your own kind, you freaks!

But the one thing that really irritates me is that it seems to have been accepted that smokers are perfectly within their rights to sling the rubbish generated by their habit wherever they want!

Bits of clear plastic from the outside of the packet – Chucked on the ground.
The empty packets themselves – Chucked on the ground.
Ash from the cigarettes as they’re being smoked – flicked anywhere and everywhere.
And of course, cigarette ends.

Millions of them every day dropped to the floor at bus stops, outside office blocks and anywhere else they may be when they run out of carcinogens to suck down.

How has this seeped past the public’s consciousness?
Why does no one say anything?

Any other bit of rubbish people drop in the street, you’re well within your rights to ask them to put it in the nearest bin rather than leave it on the ground. But not the precious smokers! No! Nothing’s ever said!

What, are we protecting their feelings? Do we feel sorry for them with their addiction? … their voluntarily chosen addiction?

Fuck that.

They’re anti-social and need punching in the face. It’s not like they’ll be able to fight back – all of the tar clogging up their lungs and the lack of oxygen in their system renders them as weak as kittens!

The revolution starts here!
