Swap some or all of the cigs for something else like Starburst candy, Vitamin Candy or Chewing gum?

Don't smoke within 4m of a door, 200 bucks fine for smoking at the junction of queen and Edward street and burned at the stake for smoking within 2 kms of a kiddies park. It's almost enough to make you want to give up

Now roll me some herbal off the acreage to chill out

Catching my drift?

Damn, I might start smoking crack just so I don't turn into you.

I don't mind the occasional commute if some education is required.

I consider it a public duty.

It's not your problem, so don't worry about it.

You might get hit by a car and killed (I hope not, because you're actually alright) when you're self-righteously riding your bike thinking you're better than a smoker.

I like smoking, it's enjoyable. I'm going for one now.

I dont think i am "better" than a smoker at all, i actually pity smokers.

When you grow up and have kids and some responsibilities to others apart from yourself, then maybe your outlook on killing yourself slowly (or quickly) will change. Your choice. Just dont sit back in your ward bed with your kids (young) stroking your arms as you splutter/wheeze your terminal breath aged 45 with any regrets or remorse...your choice.

Oh and dont think cause i ride a bike i am self righteous..i do it because im ****ing good at it..And i dont think im indestructable also..

a friend of mine...

(he is the lucky one, i know many more out here who were not so fortunate)

I was just being awkward to make a point.

When I do have a reason to (IE kids) I will stop. I've stopped before by gradually cutting down, did a couple of months but then got back on the death sticks.

I'm good a riding a bike too. I can stay up and go quick down hills

Tonight? I'm going to chain smoke and blow it all in your face.

^They're the smokers I hate. Oh and the ones who smoke before you've finished your food.

What about a Jan / Feb get together? Compare presents, show and tell?
