Why smokers suck

I just cannot understand in this day and age why people continue to smoke.
It's a vile, disgusting, annoying, dirty and pretty stupid looking "habit".
With all the statistics, charts and scientific researh we are constantly bombarded with about the potentionally life threatening effects smoking has on our health, there shouldn't be any smokers left, yet there are.... millions of them in fact with thousands more joining up each day.

I could understand this dumbass mentality back in the 40s or 50s when people didn't know about the dangers of smoking, in fact they were led to believe that smoking was GOOD for you!
Even though there was no public awareness about the risks smoking posed back then, you would think that common sense would still have a say in the matter. How can anyone actually believe that inhaling a foul smelling plant that made your mouth smell and taste like ash and gave you the occassional coughing fit could actually be good for you??

Of course everyone knows about the addictive nature of cigarettes, including the smokers themselves, but good luck finding one that will actually admit that they are a drug addict. No, instead they'll come up with some other implausibly lame ass excuse on why they "choose" to smoke. I guess they believe that since they aren't injecting or snorting their drug of choice and it doesn't come in rock form, that puts them one step above the "real" drug addicts.
That reasoning is about as ridiculous as people who believe pot isn't a "bad" drug since it comes from nature...but that's a different rant for another day... I think I've already ranted about that... I don't remember.
Anyway, the only time a smoker actually admits they MIGHT have a problem is when they are on their deathbeds, riddled with cancer and hooked to a respirator, but they'll still gladly suck down a cigarette with the same voracity of any jonsing meth-head.

Also, smokers slow everything down. How many times have you had to wait on somebody because they needed to take a smoke break? So you have to wait around, twidling your thumbs while your little addict friend gets their fix, thinking they look cool and sophisticated when it's pretty much the exact opposite. There is nothing glamorous about smoking at all!
Oh, except in those movies where some action hero dude flicks his cigarette at a gasoline covered bad guy and causes a big ol' fireball that chases the hero dude down a hallway and he crashes through a window! Not that's pretty cool!

In real life however, when some dumbass flicks their cigs out on the street they just look like inconsiderate douchebag litter bugs. Oh yeah, nothing is sexier than seeing somebody litter the street with their cancer sticks.

I'm done now.
