When I do smoke, it’s because I run into an old friend who’s smoking, and I don’t want to be rude.

I haven’t heard that one before. Would a smoker really find it ‘rude’ of an old friend to not smoke around them? That makes no sense at all.

I’m with you on the perfume stench, I don’t like that either, but most perfume wearers don’t pour it on so it’s not detectable unless one is very close but a smoker can be detected much further away. If a smoker goes upstairs at work after smoking outside and I follow along a few minutes later I can smell the smoke in the stairwell since it was all in their clothes, hair, etc.



Yeah, you guys can pretend that I’m young and my opinion doesn’t matter. We’ll ignore the fact that you have no idea how old I am

Not me - I specifically stated you perspective is important assuming you’re at or near college age which you sound to be. If I’m wrong about that guess please enlighten me if you feel like it. The relevance is in your perspective which some posters and the OP on this thread are trying to comprehend since as you can see from all of the posts, most of us find the decision to take up smoking in college illogical or simply very poor decision making but then smoking isn’t the only poor choice some college students make given drug and excessive alcohol use among a number of them.
