Question

Why do the people dislike smoking, please give reasons other then health ?

Answer 1

Because it stinks, and makes me stink even if I'm not the smoker. Because it sometimes makes me feel like I need to leave a room to get a breath of fresh air. Because it has my mother in its clutches and she can't stop. Because the tobacco companies have lied consistently while adding addictive drugs to cigarettes and advertising to children and teens. Because cigarette comanies, including their executives and employees, make money from the addictions and deaths of others.



And because it makes me sick, especially if someone smokes at a meal, or smokes a cigar around me. Maybe that's a "health" concern, but it's one of the reasons I dislike rude people smoking around me. Per your question I won't even talk about the scientifically proven long-term health affects of second-hand smoke.



So, other than health, why do you dislike colds and the flu, or drinking poison?

Answer 2

I don´t dislike smoking, but people have told me that the smell is incomfortable and yellow teeths are unattractive. I´m not sure but i think that another reason persons dislike smoking it´s due to the image that it gives to a person. I´m not sure how people look at it in Europe or other places were smoking is pretty common; however, it's possible that smokers give an impression of bad education and lack of moral to does who live in countries like Dominican Republic were there aren't that much smokers.



I personally see a smoker as I see any other person who might be good or bad, regardless their habits.

Answer 3

Smoking makes the environment unpleasant for everyone nearby: it makes it hard for others nearby to breathe and it smells very badly--you can tell someone is a smoker even if they are not smoking presently simply by the odor. People who smoke do not notice the odor, but everyone else does (sorry).



There was a study done that showed that smokers were less productive at work than were non-smokers: this is due to being distracted by the urge to smoke and by taking smoking breaks as well as due to taking more time off for illness (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1524684.stm and http://www.jointogether.org/news/research/summaries/2001/smokers-less-productive-at.html)



Health is the biggest concern: for everyone nearby--they did not choose to breathe another's second hand smoke, and it is sad when they suffer the consequences for others' bad habits (flight attendants and waiters/waitresses and family members who do not smoke have come down with lung cancer just by breathing others' smoke--totally uncool).

Answer 4

notice how everyone who said something bad about smoking got a thumbs down. I hate it when I used to go to the pub for a few hours and afterwards I come home stinking like smoke. In my country it is legal to smoke in pubs but I got no where else to go to have a few drinks and play pool so I make the choice to smell like smoke rather than miss out wiht some games of pool with my friends.

Answer 5

OK - other than health (although I thought that would be enough reason to dislike smoking)!!



Your hair, skin and clothes smell disgusting.

Your breath smells terrible.

Your skin looks tired and dirty.

Your house smells stale and dirty.

Curtains, soft furnishing and wall in your home discolour and look dingy.

You have to talk to people through a haze.

It is very inconsiderate to others who do not smoke.

You go out for a night out, taking time to look presentable and feel fresh, only to come home smelling like an ashtray.



Is this enough reasons for you? Well you did ask!

Answer 6

It stinks. I'm a smoker, but I admit it stinks. I don't smoke in company though, so I'm not inconsiderate about it.

Edit: Why do people insist they hate smoking because it could kill them? What about everything else which might do that? Cancer? Road accident? Struck by lightning? Heart attack? A mini meteor falling from the sky and bumping you on the head?

With that attitude you might just as well stay in bed for the rest of your lives to avoid any situation that might be hazardous to your health.

Answer 7

Before the recent law change, smokers just exhaled their smoke over everybody, the smoke being the by-produce of their enjoyment.

However, it got onto clothing and you take the stink home with you..



I do not smoke but I do drink vast quantities of cider this means that my by-product being urine.

How would the smokers have reacted if I had p*ssed all over them and their clothing?

Answer 8

It's a stinky habit and many (not all) smokers are very inconsiderate of the people around them when they light up. I had a room mate who chained smoked and NEVER emptied an ash tray without being nagged to do so. The butts and ashes would just pile up in a heap, and this grown man had to be constantly ASKED to empty his own d- - - ashtrays. I've also had people stand next to me, while I was sitting down, and their lit cigarette would be right in my face.



I like that expression, "Please don't smoke and I won't fart"

Answer 9

It stinks, makes my eyes water, stains everything yellow and causes immense amounts of litter - people who smoke seem to think it's OK to chuck their disgusting cig ends, used matches and various litter from cig packets all over the place. Also, smokers think it's fine to chuck lighted cig ends out of moving cars and into the faces of pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.



Enough reasons?

Answer 10

the smell of the smoker is really overpowering

The smell of a smokewr who does not shower every five or so hours is really really overpoering

The smell of a smoker who does not shower daily is disgusting



The breath of all smokers is really not bearable.

The smell is my reason I would never live in the same house with a smoker. NEVER

Answer 11

Think how much money you will have left for other things if you stop smoking. I have never smoked, own my house in London with no mortgage, need I say more.

Answer 12

do you really need another reason? have you ever been a nonsmoker and been around smokers? the constant having to go take a cigarette break, the smelling of the smoke, the fact that the smoke gets into your clothes, your hair, etc. how about the cigarette butts everywhere, just tossed out casually? and how about the attitude of smokers when you tell them they cant smoke inside your car, house, office, whatever. or when you tell a smoker who lights up to put the cigarette out, and they take one or two more puffs before they toss the cigarette where ever they choose.

Answer 13

I dont-I like to smoke a cigar every now and then-to inhale that acrid taste is quite satisfying adn an aquired taste-health reasons are bogus-every one is going to die sometime-you can get worse diseases(diabetes,heart attacks,etc) from drinking too much soda or eating hamburgers/

have a *** if you want one-it looks cool!

Answer 14

Probably cuz its gay as hell... *Puff* *Hack* *Cough* Look at me I am cool I am smoking a cigarrette and I can't stop. I know you say don't list health reasons but my grandpa on my mom's side has COPD due to smoking and now he can't breathe at all he has machines doing all the work for him. My Grandma my dads mom quit more than 20 years ago and now is in her 80's and can't breathe to save her life. My other Grandpa my dad's dad died from it when I was four years old all I remember of him was "Grandpa goes to sleep with a breathing machine while Grandma goes to sleep in another bedroom"

An old roommate of mine has the same thing he is 50 years old and can't take two steps without stopping and cussing at the world and coughing and throwing things around the room shitting his pants cuz he can't get up to go to the bathroom.

Second hand smoke they say is even worse on people than the one smoking it so Thank you smokers for killing me softly

Yeah smoking is really cool!!

Answer 15

Okay.

I'm fifteen, and in high school, where smoking is like "cool".

I personally find smoking to be disgusting.

I think that if you want to smoke, then it's fine as long as you do it on your own property. I hate smoking because it not only kills the person who smokes, but also the people who happen to pass by when your'e smoking in public. Like, I don't want to die because people want to take that garbage in. I think about when I have kids, and I have to bring my kids into public places where it is acceptable to smoke. The thought of new borns breating in cancerous fumes disgusts me.

Answer 16

It stinks. Makes everything around it stink. Stains teeth, fingers hands. Smokers litter more than anyone else. Smokers cause fires, throwing cigarettes out of their cars.

Answer 17

I have a sister in law who likes to blow smoke in the faces of the people she is talking to, not only is it rude, but it hurts my eyes and my sinuses.



Smoking leaves smells in the house and on other people's clothes.



Generally people who smoke teeth are yellow, their breath bad and their fingers stained.



Contrary to the belief smokers just look stupid, standing out in rain , snow , or whatever, catching cold so they can have their drags on ciggies.
