I feel the same way. Right or wrong, when I see a person smoking, I think less of them. I think they are incredibly stupid for smoking. And it makes them look like a total jackass.
I find it hard to respect someone that smokes, because what comes to mind is someone that knows damn well what they are doing it expensive, often deadly, has absolutely no benefit to them expect to temporarily quench an addiction, makes them smell like crap, ages them prematurely, makes them useless at sports when they get older, and often makes them hack and cough constantly. And that's just for STARTERS.
Smoking is literally one of the most asinine, pointless, dangerous, worthless addictions on the planet. People that smoke need to stop the excuses, and drop the self righteous "leave me alone it's my life" garbage and grow some balls and quit. It takes a real person with tremendous character to quit smoking. It takes a spineless whining fool with a million excuses to continue to do it day in and day out, all the while making incomprehensible justifications for doing it.
