I hate smokers!

Yes, I definitely hate smokers.

For years, I didn't hate them.  Rather I felt sorry for them.

To me they were "skinned and thrown about" by the tobacco companies.

That is still true, but my patience has ended.

They are all selfish morons!

Two things happened on Monday that precipitated this attitude change.

(1) Sitting at the far northern end of the width of a Starbucks outdoor patio, some confused ass was beyond the other far southern end, even further, standing in the middle of the next store front, smoking his stupid cigarette.  Idiot smokers are under the delusion that their smoke rises to heaven where it is magically dissipated and simply "disappears".  Well, I can testify that is wrong.  Cigarette smoke travels sideways... at about the level of seated person's nose and eyes.  Moron.

(2) Picking up a friend, I spent a few minutes with the car door open while I straightened up the interior.  Some (pick your own bitter pejorative and insert here) was several yards away, his foul donkey smoke filling my nostrils, lungs, and the interior of my car.  When I picked up my friend:  "Why does it smell like smoke in here?"

To all the "nice" people I know who smoke, and up until now, I felt compassion for, here's a personal message just for you:

Stop smoking, you idiot!   You know you were duped, you know you're addicted, but above all, you know that people who don't smoke are smart and you are a moron for not quitting.

Tried but failed to quit?  Try again!  It can take up to 7 times to successfully quit.  Perhaps more!

Just quit.

Until then... I hate you.
