Something makes me want to take your lunch money. Might be the bow tie.

The following are the reasons I am not going to post a picture of me smoking:

I don't like pictures of myself in general.
I'm poor right now and to get the smoking fix have dusted off my old pipe...if you think that bow tie looked silly, a dude smoking a tobacco pipe in this day and age...goofy looking...
Pictures of yourself smoking might only be second to pictures posing next to your factory spec low cost sports car on the 'internet/myspace douche bag photo' list of things to do.

I imagine if subjected to fire, I'd burn.

a dude smoking a tobacco pipe in this day and age...goofy looking...
I was walking down campus walk the other day and I saw some fat blonde guy smoking a pipe. I had to blink a few times.

Do not tell me it is unnatural, I have heard enough of that--about the smoking and myself in general.

Just try it.

That might be understandable, if you look like I do.

I'm poor right now and to get the smoking fix have dusted off my old pipe...if you think that bow tie looked silly, a dude smoking a tobacco pipe in this day and age...goofy looking...

And what, may I ask, is wrong with that?

Pictures of yourself smoking might only be second to pictures posing next to your factory spec low cost sports car on the 'internet/myspace douche bag photo' list of things to do.

What?

Why do I get a sense that you should be standing on a street corner with a stack of newspaper, you holding one in your hand and you screaming 'EXTRA EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT!" ?

I think he called you a douchebag. You two should fight!

It must be my youthful features.

When I'm smoking, I'm usually too busy rolling on the ground to have my picture taken. *nod*

I think he was reacting more to the bowtie, greek fisherman's cap and suspenders. And is that a creme colored suit you're wearing?

Flat cap.

Yes....

I have been told it is all unnatural.

Just try it.
Judged by the pics I've seen, his beard alone could do that!

I do smoke, but I don't feel like posting a picture of me smoking. Somehow I just can't compete with the OP.

No, no! Do English Renaissance. I want to see someone wearing a neck ruff.

I couldn't give a crap about what is and isn't "natural", but there are so many things wrong with that outfit, that I would indeed be cheering on that taking of your lunch money that was mentioned previously, all the while shouting cues to have the bully exact the type of punishment such a vile lack of even a rudimentary sense of fashion propriety should lead to, with the side result of having the ensemble (and I use that term blasphemously) forever effaced and precluded from any continued nightmarishly ghoulish existence.

As for smoking, that's just disgusting (so, so, so disgusting, wretched, stomach churning) and libido poison (while that outfit was a libido electric chair), the latter in quite the literal sense, as one of the earliest sign of the small vascular disease it leads to is impotence. Hence, eeuw.

This. Smoking is disgusting, and I don't like it. (And the smell of cigarette smokes makes me very nauseous.)

With that said, I don't have anything against people who do it. It's your life. I just ask that you not do it around me. :)

I do enjoy a good Cigar, but I dont smoke habitually or on a regular basis...

That pic was taken at one of the clubs at the IP Casino...

I quit smoking... (again). It's unhealthy, addictive, expensive and yet somehow tasty like cookies. I especially like vanilla cigarillos - they smell so good. Mmmmm... vanilla cigarillos <drools/>. Anyway I don't smoke *tobacco* anymore and very little (ahem) *else*.

You remind me of a psychiatrist I had at college, whom I took to calling "Dr. Bowtie" so frequently that I actually forgot his name, until my mom came across an article about him in the paper a few months ago. Apparently he had his license taken away after he had an affair with a student/patient. I guess she had a thing for bowties.

This. Smoking is disgusting, and I don't like it. (And the smell of cigarette smokes makes me very nauseous.)

Strangely, the smell of other people's cigarettes makes me very nauseous... yet I've smoked during different periods of my life, for months at a time.

I'd post a picture, maybe, but no one has ever caught me smoking on film. I usually only ever smoked on break at work.

...were you sleeping in our supply closet/on the pallets in the alley? Homeless people used to do that sometimes. Especially the lady on the bike, remember the bike lady? Man, I don't know how that bike stayed upright.

Using that logic, it is evident the world should be destroyed.

That is a matter of conjecture--as other activities are.

Just a question...If you think Smoking is Disgusting, Why bother posting in a thread asking for a picture of you smoking? Is that not just plain stupid?

Only time I've ever smoked is when I accidentally burnt my hair with a soldering iron back in a year 9 tech class.

I smoked when i was drinking with some friends once.
They asked me to get cigarettes and some soft drinks, so out i went, half running half gasping for air (i was pretty unfit at the time), run in, get the soft drinks from the shelf in the store. look around frantically for the cigarettes, ask drunkenly where they are (this is at about 3 in the morning), run back to the flat with my haul.
After much encouragement i take a few puffs of one and then have to abandon it. It tasted foul. I awoke the next day with my lungs on fire, horrible horrible stuff.

Corrected. Self-righteous indignation is what he does, so he looks for places to express it. He really is a loss to the evangelical community.

Drunk of course.

I occasionally smoke, but almost never tobacco. And I don't have it on film.

To point out it's disgusting. Really, you sure asked an ironically stupid question.

To point out it's disgusting. Really, for just having asked if one behaviour was stupid, you sure asked a stupid question.

It's disgusting, smells bad, is awful for your health - yet it's a massive turn on.

"Wrong"? Does it defy the Bible?

It defies human decency.

"Vile" is relative....

In some cases, while in this one it is defining.

Whose standard of "propriety"? Yours? Society's?

Non-blind people's, and I am certain even the blind would be irked if it were described to them.

Don't project.

Your understanding of the meaning of the word "conjecture" is conjecture.

To point out it's disgusting.

But whats the point of pointing it out to a thread full of Smokers...Its like telling a Swimmer you hate Water...Its entirely pointless...

But whats the point of pointing it out to a thread full of Smokers...

They're the ones most in need of having it pointed out to them, especially in a thread where they'd like to glorify it. Really, your questions are not very thought out at all.

They're the ones most in need of having it pointed out to then. Really, your questions are not very thought out at all.

Then make a thread about not smoking...

But, the thread explicitly states its for smokers...therefore, non smokers, would have no bearing on the subject...and therefore would be off Topic...

I think its a little silly too Skallvia, but if the OP honestly expected to make a thread like this and not have someone comment on how smoking was bad, then he's very naive.

No offense bro.

They're the ones most in need of having it pointed out to them, especially in a thread where they'd like to glorify it. Really, your questions are not very thought out at all.

So then that makes you feel as though you're entitled to get on your moral high horse and let us know what you think because you feel we need to be informed about our habit?

Meh, whatever. Sad.

But whats the point of pointing it out to a thread full of Smokers...Its like telling a Swimmer you hate Water...Its entirely pointless...

hmmm, i don't mean to interrupt but if you hated water and you told a swimmer i suppose they'd be alerted to this fact and avoid taking you swimming, and generally helping you stay happy, or less upset.

So if you hate smoking and say so in a thread about smoking this isn't unrealistic (it's a way of either encouraging others to change their behaviour or polarise two opposing ideas of what the implications of smoking are), although it may provoke people to debate about it.

True, but the point is that if this was a Thread about Swimming, and you came in and say Swimming is Disgusting, Its probably not going to stop them from Swimming...

And therefore would be pointless...

well it might not stop or change a persons behaviour. But they might at least think about changing it, or look at their opinion on whatever topic you're discussing.
Typically people only hold strong views or opinions on a topic if they have experienced a very personal issue with it (e.g. say a person hates dogs because they were attacked by one), and if this view is on a controversial topic and two people hold strong opposing views on it...well God help us, or if God isn't your thing then LG will have to do for now.

I don't smoke, but if someone offered me what was considered an excellent quality cigar, I'd probably give it a try. The smell has never bothered me, and I don't care who smokes or why. Similarly, I don't drink, but I wouldn't turn down a $500 shot of Napoleon brandy, just so I could say I'd done it. You have to live a little sometimes.

black powder gunsmoke > tobacco smoke :D

What I smoke isn't something I'd want pictures of me smoking to exist. And I'm just not cool enough to beat the OP's picture.

*snip*

Everyone knows smoking *is* bad. It's not a question whether it is vile, disgusting and unhealthy - it's also pleasant and addictive. If you've never been a smoker then you can't understand. It's also a huge stress reliever. There is nothing that makes a five minute break actually worth taking than having a nice smoke. I got addicted again when I was writing my BA thesis.

I don't think It's anyones place to judge, even if they are right about it being a bad habit. Personally It's a habit I'm trying to break but I'm also not going to deny myself the occasional smoke. For myself I draw the line at buying packs of smokes. Thats another reason I like those cigarillos, because I can buy singles or 5er's.

It defies human decency.

In some cases, while in this one it is defining.

You continue to call anything you do not enjoy vile and indecent--how very Christian.

I am not blind.

I don't smoke... I can't even be around someone who is, my throat closes up and I can't breathe.

I imagine if subjected to fire, I'd burn.

Now, now, that was the question...

When set fire would you produce smoke?

Some one snapped a picture of me lighting up last night at work. I immediately thought, "Curse you, NSG thread!"

No, I don't have that photo.

I still want to know why you were smoking at my old work!

Because it was perfectly situated between the movie theaters and no one would bother me. Though if I smoked enough I'd end up at Jack's or Planet Fresh Burrito, miss my movie and have to go back and smoke some more and catch a later showing.

Jaaaaack's. Oh, you brute, why did you have to mention that place.

I weep regularly at my current distance from that place.

If I had a camera, I'd post myself enjoying my personal favorite smoke, unfiltered Pall Malls.

I didnt get nearly this much trouble in My smoking thread, >.> lol....

Nope, I do not smoke. I think it's disgusting but I'm not going to judge anyone for their habits.

Probably end up doing a long-term sub job. If the universe aligns itself and there aren't too many positions cut, and some older teachers retire (seriously, my kindergarten teacher is still teaching, and she wasn't young when I had her) I might get rehired for my current job, or another overload class. Which will be another year that doesn't count toward tenure. -_-

no. i don't smoke anything. not even hams or fish.

although i'll eat smoked fish, though i prefer to immediately freeze it on catching instead.

What a bizarre premise for a thread.

Ah, so that's what you look like...if I was really short...and you were vaguely suspicious of me...

I don't smoke. I tried it once, in the interests of trying to lose weight. I felt like my nose, sinuses and lungs simultaneously burst into flame. I knew then that I was never going to that much pain, trouble and expense just to develop a bad habit.

Right after I made my initial post I worked on some dude's short that night and I swear I heard a 'click' right as I started to smoke and thought, "Nah..."

Sure enough, someone took a photo of me. Smoking. Right after I got all snarky about that never happening.

Penance for my snottiness, me smoking. A pipe even because I'm out of money. At work, no less. (except shorts don't pay, so there)
