I Hate Smokers

If you are a smoker, and you are reading my blog now, don't get offended.
Life is short, Just do it, Break The Rules, But Know The Boundaries.
YOLO - You Only Live Once!
Now, how cruel (or sarcastic) is that?

I hate smokers. FIL used to be a heavy smoker. But he has stopped now due to lung problems. Let me story you. Many many donkey years ago, when we were still dating, we were saving up to buy a house and to get married. Then FIL was admitted to hospital due to lung problems as he has been coughing for the past few months. All these due to his smoking problems. Spent a lot of money on operations, checkups, you know, those small little things, those small little visits to the hospital every now & then, hubby and BIL paid for the bills as they are the sons (and yes, we had to delay in buying the house due to money issues, hubby had to borrow money from his brother to settle some debts and all. Ooops, too much said here).

So yes, I hate smokers. Period.

Someone promised to quit. And he did. 10 months ago. And now, 10 months after, I just got to know he's on the ciggy again. I asked why coz he'd promised to quit. He said: No reason, just feel like it, that's all. I don't have to report to you right. I have a lot of things to think about. When I smoke, I can forget about them for a while.

So, it's true a leopard can't change its spots. I hate people who never honor their word. I hate fake people.

  2. Oh dear. I guess it is not so bad if they are responsible smokers, like responsible drinks - for instance, they can go far far away from other people to smoke, do it in open spaces (and especially not in public and aircon places), don't throw away the butts indiscriminately and things like that - especially considering that it is not easy to kick the habit.

    1. *responsible drinkers* = don't drink and drive, drink with control/a limit...

    2. I think he has become a regular smoker back now.. Smoking when others are smoking, you know, it's like you want to do it coz others are doing it too, if you don't, then you are "uncool" and the "odd one out"..

  3. Hi Louiz! Me too do not like smokers. I hate walking behind them especially if the wind in blowing from the front. All the smoke gets into my face so I faster walk ahead of them. There are some people downstairs my office who like to smoke at the staircase landing and the smoke drifts up to my place. Ugh! I understand your frustration when someone in the house smokes! And break his promise to stop! Luckily for me, no one in my immediate family smokes. The last person was my late grandfather. Hope your hubby has a rethink about his smoking habit. It's bad for him and you and the kids.

    1. Oh yes, I feel you.. In my condo, that person smoked from downstairs.. So the smoke "flew" upstairs, to my place.. And my whole house will smell of smoke, yucky !

  4. I think it's really hard to quit smoking...it's not as hard as some other things, but it's still hard.

    Anyway, if your someone admits that he's wrong to start again and promises to quit, it might be good to give him support. External stress can cause relapse, in all things, support is essential. Peace and cheers! :)

    1. You are right, I think the cause for relapse is the stress and pressure he is currently facing.. But it hurts my heart la, when I see the ciggy, especially after he promised.. Hmm...

    2. Yeah, I know what you mean...

      People are human, we sometimes make promises we can't keep and although we mean well, we sometimes do things or say things which we don't mean which can hurt others.

      Yeah, I know it can be heartbreaking, but the relationship is more important, hopefully you can work things out with him. Cheers and peace! :)

  11. I am the same like you. I really dislike smokers. I wish it would be compulsary for them to wear a fish bowl over their own heads to keep the smoke from getting out.

    The worse thing is hearing about non smokers dying from lung cancer because of the secondary smoke that they breathe in from smokers.

  12. The governments should really ban smoking but due to this money minded world it is not banned because the smoking industry makes a lot of money from smokers and pay tax to the government.

  13. The thing is now I see many young girls smoking too. I wonder why did they even start smoking?

  14. Will shock tactics stop your half from smoking? Say you will smoke too if he smokes. I am sure he does not want you the mother of his sons to smoke too.

  15. I have blogged few times about my office hantus who smoke heavily. My boss has died of lung cancer in May and everyone is still smoking away like there's no tomorrow. Nothing will stop them lah. Lung cancer is very very painful and the patients often wanted to die faster.

    You should buy a cheap packet of cigarette and start pretending to show him that you share his passion for smoking so that can die together earlier & faster! Bwahahahaha...
    Sometimes you just light the cigarette and let it burn on the ashtray till end. Reply his that you also burn away money and use that way to chase away dengue mosquitoes!

    1. Plus smoking brings no benefits at all, not just harmful to the smokers but also to the innocent people around! Why would people still wanna continue smoking?
      I asked friend who smokes, and he told me smoking can help relax the mind, release stress. I was like @#$%^, wanna release stress can choose other healthier and normal methods ma!! Ish ish...

      Delete
    2. Yep, I think most excuse people give is that smoking releases stress, and it can make them forget about stress - even for a few seconds.. Sigh..

    1. Haha, but did you try to ask him to stop? I guess it won't be easy?

  18. I think that fella breaking his promise pisses you off more than his smoking eh? I don't like smoking too. That's one of the reason I run away from KL to Penang. When I was in college, whenever we had a gathering, only 1 or 2 person smokes and the rest of us scold them. Nowadays when I come back to KL for gathering, I am the only non-smoker @.@".
