I think you should re-title the thread "smoker's lounge" and subtitle only un-healthy people allowed.

how is my statement "suck it" blaming others for anything. maybe your the one guilty of something. a smoker too ashamed to admit it?

Nope. There's nothing I'm ashamed about. If you haven't figured it out by reading my posts here, I'm actually quite shameless.

im defensive bc im sick of the judging #######. if you dont smoke, then why come on here and and judge and demener others who do? you dont know me, or anyone else on here, so stating smokers put cigs before kids is offensive and insulting. Your first sentence was your opinion, your second sentence was a cry to argument. thats pathetic

So your insinuation is it's caring plenty about your kid to smoke around them? Notice how I care to actually address the point, rather than carry on about pointless banter. If you don't do it, there's nothing to be defensive about. What I read as "judging #######" sounds to me like you're only looking for support for such actions. Won't get any here, even though the bottom line is, I don't care what you do to your kids.

There is no such place anymore!

Seriously though, who hasn't heard it all before? I've heard a lot worse, so I really can't take it personally. There are people who truly *hate* smokers. I've accepted that.

When I quit again, I'll hate you all.

Sure Tell that to those who have been killed by a drunk driver. Or to the ones in jail for driving stoned. And I have never heard of someone arrested for driving while smoking.

And you cannot smoke anytime --- most workplaces are non-smoking, and so are restaurants and malls, etc.

I understand your points, but really. Think this through.

This obviously does not include points where you cannot smoke due to decisions made by others, like laws or rules set by others.

Beyond social, there's also personal, leisure time.

stop twisting my words around to make your point seem useful

and how am i looking for support? i didnt make the tread, i wrote in it, then you come along all high and mighty with your judgments and insults.

and trust me, if i ever needed support, it wouldnt be asked for by you, someone who is judemental and fast to call ppl out who are not like "you".

as youve noticed, this is a thread about smoking, not lecturing smoking, if all you have are insults for smokers, im sure there are suckers out there who will listen to you, but you wont find anyone here.

I have too, but to tell you your priorities are not in order bc your a smoker and you have kids, is just judemental and rude. ppl like that sicken me.

It does brother --- you cannot smoke in public places. Leisure persolnal time is MINE. In MY house.

But then again, non-smokers opinions about my lifestyle are as important to me as the mating rituals of clams. Peace.

Any of the other smokers tend to have mostly friends (and partners) who smoke as well? I wonder which came first, the chicken or the egg.

Hubby likes the occasional cigarello (sp?). Most of my friends do not smoke.
