Heard about those. Aren't they expensive?

It doesn't help that some exams are coming up. Before I know it I'm out back smoking again.

I'm not sure they are available wherever Vester lives.

Although i would suggest using one of those. you can probably Acquire them from the INTERWEBZ! also.

Meh, if vester wishes to be of the smokingness, fiiiiiiine, we can't really stop her.

I would suggest NOT smoking however.

That is an excellent viewpoint. Smoking is bad, but if someone tells me smoking is bad while I'm enjoying my cigarette, I will punch them in the neck. I hear that's also bad for you.

Well...OK. But it wouldn't be random at all. It would be instant karma. Exacted by me, the self appointed karma police.

(The "excellent viewpoint" part wasn't sarcastic. I was agreeing with your post.)

Oh, i know you were agreeing with me.

But if you punched me in the neck for no REAL reason, i would be forced to hurt you.

Be careful who you try this with... Because I wouldn't doubt telling you that smoking is bad. Punching me or attempting to hurt me in any way would be a bad move.  As I said, violence doesn't solve problems.  It creates them.

 Doesn't defer from the point: Telling people smoking is bad is not a terribly clever or helpful move. They know it is bad for them. Most want to quit. The best you are doing is pointing out their inability to quit.

 As for smoking, my main issue is getting addicted in the first place. No amount of telling people smoking is bad for them will make them avoid it. This is because most people who do get into smoking do it to fit in with a crowd or be more at ease with their friends. I won't smoke because I hold a high standard of not doing anything contradictory to my nature to impress possible friends. I've done enough stupid crap to that nature to know that lesson.
 Note this is based off of observations and does not apply to everybody. Just know that telling smokers smoking is bad for them is not helpful. If they annoy you with smoking then politely tell them to stop. Over the internet, smoke isn't an issue unless those Indonesians have some diabolical technology out there.

If I smoked I'd blow smoke in your face.
It is both dismissive and insulting. And very arrogant.

Also I live in Hull.

If it's in a "no smoking" area (like most public places here, as it turns out) and it's really annoying me, I might challenge a smoker over it.
