Some people get struck by asteroids. Worse? lots of life went extinct from a giant meteor colliding with the earth. So, the theory goes. Compassion? You're throwing an anomaly example. Useless. Deal is, smokers tend to be nasty, especially those that STINK of fumes. Worse? Those that bring their hacker cough public. If you can't keep your shit habit to yourself, go home please and die already.
Clearly, employers think the same thing these days for two reasons. 1. Pathetic addict smokers cost TOO much, are absent too often, and under-perform because they're chronically distracted by this fixation. 2. They're not very welcome among non-smokers.
Should I mention that in real estate, homes that are smoke-free sell at a better price? Same goes for cars. Nobody wants a smoke-infested hotel either. Looks as if restaurants are promoting an entirely smoke-free atmosphere.
Hilarious example! People can get lung cancer from all sorts of insults. There's environmental pollutants. Heck, there are viruses that can corrupt your DNA to spark cancer. I'm sure that lady didn't parade around in public hacking sputum all over people. I'm sure she didn't huddle at doorways with a pack of neurotic addicts fuming the entryway. I'm sure she didn't pitch litter all over the place. Shit happens to us all. What next? You going to tell me about the poor 8 year old child with leukemia? I have humanity but it is selective. I unselect smokers. Why don't I list the sad cases involving infants born to ignorant mothers who smoke during pregnancy. Cigarette smoke is a teratogen which causes horrific birth defects that are preventable.
There are smokers who lose their jaw from cancer. They may have to have a tracheostomy. Smoke inhalation leads to hypertension and heart disease. Exactly, how is that worth smoking? I'm thinking WTF! Quit! Quit that idiotic self-destructive habit. Educate your fucking self to realize this is an addiction that can be defeated. Duh! Too many people kick the habit. All they need to do is decide to quit. The rest is purely mind training to reform their habits.
I hate these in denial smoke-tards that light up anywhere they please. They look like chronic languishing misery. Not exactly company I want to keep, nope.
Medical is my world. These people don't go away. Yes, I should look on the bright side here. They keep healthcare booming. True as that. But, they cost taxpayers an enormous sum of money. Most of these addicts I see are sucking off of Medicare, yet, continuing a destructive habit. This isn't a true disease. It is preventable. What a shame. Its worse to see some dirty hag smoker parent with children in tow. Fantastic, I'm sure those kids love their great role model addict parent. That's really responsible of that parent. Lets see, smoking increases that parent's risk of heart disease. Is that a good parent? No, its selfish, piss poor irresponsibility.
Oh yes, I'm the jerk for pointing it all out? Good.
Smokers are a vile lot of disordered shit. You tell them how they can stop suffering, yet they choose this demented default action. I see them come in for respiratory treatments. Waste of time and money! They're great for Darwin jokes. I can't stand the sight of them. If you're going to to this shit, do it someplace I can't see it. Pick up your damn butts, or I swear I'll try my best to impose a tax on that silly product you buy so someone can keep things nice and clean. Pickup your own health care costs,or at least send the bill to Philip Morris. Better option? Quit. I still haven't met one of these off the deep end addicts that show much personal character or brains to try quitting. They shrug their shoulders or laugh in denial. My final sensible conclusion here? That kind of addict is a lost cause.
Oh silly me. Of course you had no choice to go into the medical field. Of course you weren't to expect that there would be people who were aged and diseased for various reasons, including smoking. Od course you shouldn't have any level of compassion for ill people, regardless of the reasons behind their illness. Of course you should clearly have no understanding of addiction and how it works.
My mother was a smoker. She raised two children who are disgusted by cigarettes. We both have chosen not to smoke. Many people raised by smokers choose not to smoke.
You've never known anyone who quit smoking? My grandmother, aunt and mother have all quit. I know friends of theirs who have quit.
You cannot control the actions of others. People do many things that are detrimental to their health and I doubt you are exempt from this. You can control your own actions. Maybe you should focus on yourself instead.
Maybe you should find a new job since you're clearly lacking in several skills required for it, and you find my story of a healthy woman dying a painful and undignified death as "hhilarious".
Excuse me, I'm realizing that you're just too uneducated to get my gripes.
If you insist on it, I can give you cited evidence. If you insist, I can blah de dah about my knowledge of the addiction process for tobacco. Oops, its really nicotine they seek. Yes, former smokers exist. They can quit.
This is a gripe. In real life, moron, I treat these people very well. I have ethics. They only see the face of compassion. I still think the overboard addicts ought to hurry up and die off already.
Medical? Expectations? I love it. You should listen in on the running commentary that happens behind the scenes. People have to talk to get it out of their system. We see just how STUPID patients can be. This doesn't mean that we care less. On the contrary!
Parents should quit that habit. If they so-called love their children, they can muster up the strength to do it. Its an addiction. Cigarettes aren't a nutrient. You don't need it. Its not water, its not oxygen. We all know damn well that it leads to chronic illness, forget that it reduces a person's lifespan, or lets them live an ailing pathetic existence. One can get through a few weeks of withdrawal issues to get clean. There is rehab and support.
You should be present when one jackass smoker is getting his Medicare-funded treatments while someone else suffering pneumonia or whatever is one room over. WTF! That Medicare-moocher is going to light up the moment he leaves here. Useless.
Listen dickwad, I'm one of the "old people" who smoke. Yes it IS a disgusting habit and I fully know the consequences of what smoking does to my body.
It's an addiction you know? I have successfully given it up for 3 years and I fully intend to give it up again for good.
I do not feel that I deserve to die for this addiction and what charli.m is saying is that you should have more compassion and this, this makes you say that she is uneducated?
You are different. You want to quit. You're trying. More power to you. I wish you all the luck in the world towards your goal. :-)
I'm talking about those that do nothing. I, honestly think its because they're not paying for treatment out of pocket. Its 'free' to them. Its system abuse, essentially.
Keep the insults coming. You should try listening to a head nurse curse people out. That's a sailor mouth, lol. So, I'm kind of immune to it.
Tip? Get rid of stress. That's usually what triggers people. Stress management is the key. You have to create beneficial alternatives to this old dirty habit. Its a habit. You don't need nicotine.
I have expressed myself far better than you with your fancy so called education (in what, exactly?) and I've refrained from my usual instinct to quickly turn to insults, yet you have called me various unfounded things, purely because you disagree with me.
It's not my fault your country has a shitty health care system. My country has a lot more support for quitting smoking than yours. Look at the culture created by your country, blame the big companies who perpetuate it unchecked.
You are yet to tell me about your perfect healthy lifestyle. Hiding something, are we?
Lets bring perceived nationalism into this discussion. How nice. Honestly, Australia is a beautiful country along its coastlines. I've been to Adelaide three times. US healthcare is pretty pathetic for not being more inclusive and affordable, that is truer than truth. However, the US also has cutting edge treatments that the world comes here to receive. I have seen people from Australia receiving treatment here. So, its funny you mention this.
Funny, nationalism? Off the top of my head, Australia has the third highest obesity rate in the Anglo-speaking world. Its rising fast, more so among the indigenous pop. They could do something to curtail this to deflect citizens chances of getting Type II diabetes. To give you some ammo, the USA is #1 for obesity. In fact, the USA pretty much exported this obesity problem around the world. These chronic smokers I see are usually quite overweight, no surprise. Beyond that? I can't say anything bad about Australia. Nothing at all. Its a great country. There's some insanely great athletes that come from the land down under. Its a kick ass country.
These smokers that have no gumption to quit, all the while receiving endless treatment happens to be futile. Sure, I hope that treatment alleviates some of their idiot suffering. You bet I will make sure they get whatever relief is available. I'm not exactly apt to have people suffer, hence I think they should just drop dead, sadly. They just put their fingers in their ears when they're advised to quit. That's sheer stupidity. Why don't they just throw bricks at their face daily.
My health? Its far better than the average. Knock on wood! Do I count my blessings for that? Yes. Unlike most people in total idiot denial, I don't ignore evidence. No. In school, anatomy and physiology details of heart disease, fatty liver disease, and black lungs were enough to make me never do things that ruin health. Could I still drop dead from a disease? Yes. Nothing's foolproof. But, watching addicts destroy themselves is a bit baffling. I see it as a serious mind dysfunction. Its a shame to see it. There are people suffering helpless diseases they truly can't do anything about. Yet these smokers? Shrug their shoulders and light up again and again. They don't even try to quit. Its a classic case of learned helplessness. Those that want to quit, do it.
How can you just wish for people to die like that? It's like you're not considering anyone else's feelings besides your own. I get what you're saying, but it's pretty inconsiderate to just single every smoker out like this. My boyfriend is a marine and fights for this country. He's has a very stressful job. I Don't smoke, but I also don't judge him for smoking. He's a great person, and yes it would be better for his health if he stopped, but I accept him for who he is. I love that guy so much. I'm sure one day he will stop eventually, and I will be proud. But right now, I'll let him make his own choices. Hey, even I smoke when I drink. Let's be real. It's pretty fun occasionally. I'm not trying to argue, btw, so please don't take this personally. I'm not an aggressive person, I'm just sharing my point of view. I believe you should understand everyone's like I undsertand yours.
Old people that smoke please die already

Who's asking you to keep company with them? Are you so out of control of your own life you don't choose where you go or what you do?
You don't sound like the sort of company most people would like to keep.
