do you make any reactions when you come across someone smoking a cigarette?

hahaha! some of my smoking friends sometimes jokingly and stupidly ask me if I have a light. LOL they just can't quit smoking they say. it became their habit and they said it helps in the digestion of the food they ate.

my sister (who does not smoke) started having a lighter with her everywhere she goes... just because she was going through what you just said :)

hahaha! pity her. ^__^;; i had a lighter too. but it was for emergency purposes way back in college when i was living in a boarding house/dormitory. i needed something like it just in case i need to light a candle. ^__^;; i dont carry it around. now, i dont have one.

Good association. It's true with a lot of my friends because of deadlines and nagging clients. I'm sure it's not the only reason why they smoke but it sure does contribute to their stress. When I'm in deep thought you might catch me biting my lower lip from time to time. That's about it. I don't smoke mainly because my parents were heavy smokers and it drove me nuts. I can't be with a woman who smokes either. The smell, the taste when you kiss. Ugh! Glad to know you're not blue. Let me know when you want to add an image. We'll do it together. ‹(°¿°)›

Good for your mom. She'll be around a lot longer for the two of you to enjoy each other's company. Glad to know you only tried it and didn't continue. We can't change others unless they see the light all by themselves. So we accept our siblings, friends and others for who they are. Putting an image up this time will be painless. I promise. Just let me know when. ‹(°¿°)›

really? my mother too was a chain smoker before. i dont know about my father coz they were separated when i was 3. my mother though, quit smoking all by herself. not with any help of someone or anything. i gave her the thumbs up for that. i didnt like her smoking too. i feel like i can smell the smoke wherever inside the house even if she smokes outside the house. i still do though, because my older sister smokes. my brother smokes too but he doesnt live with us anymore since he got married. anyway... well, as for my smoking friends, if they dont listen to me, its ok. as long as their smoking doesnt bother me. ^__^ an image! yeah.. i forgot about that.. yup, i'll call for help if i get in the mood to edit my page again. ^__^;; thanks jumpinjack. and if i blue, i'll for cheer up-ping. ^__^;;

In my country, smoking in public places is forbidden by law. I'll bet you everything I own that not a single smoker was fined in my country for smoking in public. You get choked from smoke on the street every day.

If they issue the law but they never enforce it, it's useless...

Wish it was that way in the US. Totally banned in public places. They're working on it. ‹(°¿°)›

Last week, a UK politician was approached and 'cautioned' by transport police for smoking on a train (this is illegal now in the UK - he is a politician, he helped to make the law!!??!!). He tried to say that it was OK because he had his head out of the window... The police said 'really..? you had your head out of the window??', 'Yes' he replied, 'OK' said the policeman 'we are now going to caution you for sticking your head out of a moving train!!' ha ha ha - it's absolutely true, check it out

really? hahaha! serves him right! these kind of politicians ought to be ashamed of themselves. they created a law, they should be the first ones to follow it! right? they are really abusing their power with much gusto. good thing the police were straight and honest to their jobs. they should be lauded for that. hurrah for them! ^__^ I wish all police are like that. they won't care if the offender is of higher authority like politicians.

the ever considerate sem. ^__^ i'd be disappointed if you do otherwise. but still, cantyou just quit smoking? ^__^ i'll treat you to a movie (fantastic four) if you do.. hehe..

5 times lang pala e.. ^__^;; what other movies would you like to watch? basta ba you'll totally quit smoking e. ^__^

ummmm, how about treating me to 5 times...kaso anlayo mo sis...hahaha

oh i see. so that's a hukka. thanks for the info sang2k2. its always fun to learn something interesting. ^__^

what is a hukka?

hukka is an olden style of smoking, even chillums offlately hukkas are introduced in hotels and restaurants by adding fruit flavor to it they serve u. it has a pot and a pipe attached to the pot on one end and the other end is used by the person to take a puff.

purposely or not, we have the right to react, especially if the smoker is smoking in a prohibited area.

LOL that sounds weird. ^__^;; a smoker that doesn't like second hand smoke.. doesn't make any sense, just like you said. LOL

for sure? I can't believe that. there's an effect, you're not jus aware of it.

oh kun, you smoked before??? was it hard when you were quitting? what made you quit??

yes, i was a smoker b4.. ANd i did thinking of quitting after smoking for 3 yrs.. But i din really quit till 6 years after i started smoking ^_^ THe reason is due to the increasing price of cigrattes here is way too high and thus i decide to quit ^_^ Same like all others, i tot quitting will be hard and i tried to cut down the number of sticks i puff everyday( from 10 a day to 3 a day) hehe.. I felt like it's very troublesome to control it like that and so i went cold turkey instead.. LOL.. But luckily for me, i do exercises reguarly, so i din face with any withdrawal symptons ^_^ hehe.. and till now, i haven touch any cigrattes for 1.5 years ^_^ hehe

yeah. these rude people should learn to have manners and be sensitive to other people. ^__^

oops. careful there. there are lots of smokers here. ^__^

you should let it out man. if you don't feel well about it, then do something about it! ^__^

sometimes I tend to move away too. but sometimes I get so stubborn and I will say to myself "why should I be the one move away?? I was the first one here. h should move away, he's on the wrong side of the world." ^__^;;

LOL so i tend to look like a retarded when i wave my hand?? ^__^;; at least a retarded is innocent than the insensitive smoker. LOL good for you you're sensitive towards others.

you're right about that! some smokers really do get inconsiderate. they never think of the people around them who can inhale the smoke.

most of my friends are considerate too. when they are smoking, usually when we're having a drinking session, they would puff out the smoke away from me. they know I don't smoke and I don't like the smell of the smoke.

good for you haven't encountered rude person. some smokers will still continue to smoke even if they see people coughing around them.
