Do you think nonsmokers....?

Question

are somewhat ignorant of the reasons why smokers continue to smoke? And are overly judgemental and even discriminative to smokers?

Answer 1

nonsmokers are ignorant of course, because they don't understand.

i don't think its discriminatory, for example, to ask someone not to smoke in certain areas.  its not discriminating if no one is allowed to do it.

Answer 2

Yes.. But those are mainly the whiny little btches that judge everyone.

Answer 3

No speaking from a non-smoker point of view when i tell my fam and friends that they shouldn't smoke im not saying it to be judgmental I'm saying it because it's unhealthy bottom line is if you smoke your gradually killing yourself so unless your doctor prescribes you some weed due to health problems you shouldn't do it if you value your life.  So don't be made at non-smokers b/c they may care about your lives more than you do. I'm aware that it's hard to kick the habit but is possible t with alot of effort you don't wanna wait to hear that you have an illness to try.

Answer 4

yeah its your job to get them to smoke.  

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

Maybe some... I am a ex-smoker, and usually people of my kind are worse. I try to be tolerant to my smoker friends, because I know why they smoke, they smoke for the same reasons it was so hard for me to quit. I still get urges to smoke, because I like smoking... but I know my body will appreciate me a lot more if I don't.

Answer 7

No, not really.

Answer 8

YES!! i used to smoke, i quit about 6 months ago with the help of champix (a stop smoking drug) before i went on that i had tried quitting a million different ways, with no success and my non smoking friends would always say oh its easy just don't smoke, but they really don't understand how hard it is! and i think yes they are very judgemental of smokers, like when we would leave a building a light up a smoke a of my frieds would give me a dirty look and i'd here why don't you just quit... but you are definately right, people are ignorant of how hard it is to quit, and very judgemental  

Answer 9

you shouldn't say nonsmokers because that targets all of them. i have friends that don't smoke and they don't complain about it. but yes, i do believe that SOME nonsmokers are overly judgemental and even discriminative towards us smokers. and also i'm 99.9% positive that everybody knows smoking is bad for your health, even smokers. so i wish that people who didn't agree with it would stop PRESSURING me to quit smoking. just because they don't agree with my lifestyle doesn't mean they should try to change it. it's not like i'm PRESSURING them to start smoking since they don't. you can't help somebody who doesn't want your help, so stop trying to help because it's just irritating

Answer 10

The only ppl I am ignorant to about smoking..are the ppl i care about. and the only reason why i bother them about quitting is because i love them and Im concerned about their health. I dont really care what your reason is to continue TO smoke.. the reason for you to QUIT..is 100% better!!

Answer 11

I don't think non smokers realize how addictive nicotine is and that is very hard to quit.  I don't know if they are overly judgmental or discriminating to smokers.  I am a smoker and I don't blame them for not wanting to be around smokers.  We stink!

Answer 12

im a nonsmoker but i dont really care if ppl smoke...its their problem..(-___-)

Answer 13

I dont care if people smoke, i gave up 4yrs ago and will never smoke again, im not smug about it, just being honest.

But if others want to smoke, thats fine by me. if they dont, thats fine too. live and let live is my motto

Answer 14

yes maybe a little bit..

but people feel this way just because they think it is disgusting and won't take another view on it as to why people smoke..

Answer 15

Many of us are ex-smokers, and we know that "But I LIKE smoking" is your addiction talking. If you haven't quit, we see it as being too weak to conquer your addiction.

Frankly, smokers smell awful, and there's no hiding it. Going anywhere that allows smoking makes my clothes and hair reek so badly that my clothes go right into the washer, and I jump right in the shower.

Answer 16

maybe sometimes? there will always be people who don't agree with stuff.

Answer 17

no... would you think someone complaining about some idiot playing with a loaded gun in a pre-school was over reacting? or is the idiot playing with a loaded gun just a worthless sack of s*&t that the world would be better without?  Well... guess which one of those folks is most like a smoker.... yep... we would be better off without smokers.... filthy spineless trash that doesn't care about anyone or even about themselves.
