This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I smoke. My partner smokes. Yes, it's horrible for me, but I'm probably going to die at 60 anyway.

Neither of us smokes in the house. We don't smoke in public around other people. The ashtray is emptied into a sealed can. Second-hand smoke stinks, and an ashtray smells even worse.

The problem isn't smokers. The problem is inconsiderate assholes who don't stop to consider how their actions impact other people. I like smoking, and I don't want to smell the half-smoked cigarette you snuffed out and shoved back in the pack that's reeking from your pants pocket.

I appreciate your consideration but if you smoke regularly, chances are you don't truly realize how bad you smell and just how far the stench carries.

Also the argument of dying early is flawed. It's not just about dying early, it's about the quality of life you'll face at the end of your life. I don't mean to freak you out, but heavy smokers have a LOT of trouble doing anything physical in old age (climbing 10 stairs, standing up, walking a few steps, eating,...). I've seen firsthand how my grandpa that liked to take walks for hours a day went to basically disabled, in the timeframe of roughly ~15 years. All due to decreased lung capacity caused by smoking.

Surgical tech here. Almost every time we run into one of those "oh fuck our patient is about to die" moments, they're either a smoker, obese, or both.

Even ignoring the lungs, smokers' organs all look like shit. When we're doing a laparoscopic case (tiny incisions, camera in the abdomen) the entire inside of their abdomen has this diseased yellow-brown hue compared to a non-smoker.

That shit REALLY fucks you up internally.

Every time I walk into a closed cafe I'm overwhelmed by the smell of 7 different vape smells coming from all directions.

"But it's just water vapor-"

Don't care. Still annoying.

I will never understand why this sub exists. It's never interesting, it's the scum of the Internet occasionally saying shit that isn't as heinous as you'd expect. Why would I i want to read 4chan shit? Ever?
