Like half my friend circle are smokers, and I’ve no idea why it’s as common as it is. They strike me as decently considerate smokers, but I’m not sure I’m the greatest judge since I haven’t been bothered by people smoking around me for years.

I’m an American in Oslo and the smoking doesn’t seem that crazy compared to elsewhere in Europe but the amount of those little snus pouches everywhere on the ground is loving disgusting and also the amount of people who are like “yeah cigarettes are gross and bad for you” while putting a pouch in baffles me. Yeah I know this is a kebab shop, I’ll have a #2 without corn.

From the point of view of a non-smoker, someone deciding to smoke in a public space has pretty much already signaled that they don't give a poo poo, so why even bother complaining? Smelling distance is incidentally pretty loving far unless the smoker is downwind, like, you can be annoying people who are far enough away that you can't even really make out their faces. I've had cancer once already, there is absolutely nothing good about it. I don't want to have it again because some inconsiderate fuckwad.

I sure hope all of you bike or ride public transit exclusively or you can get hosed. I quit full-stop a few months ago, although I haven't smoked with any sort of regularity for years, but there's really nothing like sanctimonious anti-smoking militancy to make you want to light up again. I'm all for blanket indoor bans, price hikes, age restrictions, putting people who litter in the stocks and executing tobacco executives, but I'm simply amazed that people still trot out the incredulous "Don't they know it's bad for them?!" line in 2019. Of course they loving do. Maybe there's a host of complex societal and psychological issues at work that still drive people, especially poor people, to smoke cigarettes. Nicotine is typically grouped with the likes of heroin in terms of addictiveness and difficulty quitting, so perhaps be glad of the headway made in the past decades and stop throwing a tantrum every time you catch a whiff of tobacco smoke on main street. Edit: I had the reply window open, this wasn't in response to the previous post, just FYI. Smokers should be considerate within reason, obviously.

My point about being able to smell smoke from far away isn't that it's necessarily a huge bother at those distances, more to illustrate that stepping a few feet away isn't a solution to you bothering people within talking distance.

I hate inconsiderate people who smoke at the bus stop, people who are drenched in so much perfume you can smell them across the room, people in conversation blocking the aisle with a loaded shopping cart, loud motorcyclists, people who honk to say hello, and people who put their garbage outside the miljöstation because they forgot the key, a whole lot less than I hate people with sticks so far up their self-absorbed asses they develop prejudices and whine about it on political debate forums.

Sorry about your eyesight and the cancer. Let's unite in our mutual disdain for inconsiderate people, be they smokers or non. I don't have a license because I get sufficiently agitated with other drivers as a passenger. Can't do anything about bus drivers, unfortunately.

Instead, we can glare balefully at all the inconsiderate people! Incidentally, the word 'olm' is a really good one. Yeah, the few times a year I have to go to Aarhus to get examined and get the scan results from my oncologist, I get to call kørselskontoret and order what's essentially a taxi-ride down there, and I get the joy of spending about an hour and a half on route 11 and E45 and being an absolute nerve-wreck from both worrying about the driver (and all the other drivers), as well as the results of the scan. And then I get to go home which is almost as bad. gently caress having an over-active imagination that lets you imagine a car crash in the time it takes the driver to correct something.

In Norway at least there has been a concurrent rise in the use of snus, especially among young people, while smoking cigarettes has gone down. They are kind of right though, it doesn't really carry the same risk of cancer as smoking does, though it will gently caress up your teeth and your gums, and it is really addictive (and it is really disgusting especially when put on store aisles, dinner plates and in not quite empty coffe cups), at least judging by the number of my friends who use it and how many times they've tried and failed to quit.

Many people try snus as an attempt to quit smoking and then just end up doing both instead.

The problem with moving from cigarettes to nicotine of any other form is that you lose the ritual, especially in social terms. It's really incredible on how many levels the brain will gently caress you for trying to quit smoking. Still easier than going cold turkey though.

Ask me about my previous concurrent use of cigs, gum and (rarely) vape.  I'd probably quit the gum if there was a nicotine-free analogue to Nicorette Fruitmint that held the taste as long. Can't do anything about my hosed up jaw, though, but at least I never touched that nasty-rear end snus.

I'm ok with 20 years of hard labor for those, executions would be for those that don't even wrap their dogs poo poo in plastic. Also, all teenagers that break bottles of glass on the playground and leaves the shards all over should be forced to pick dogshit for a summer.

Neither is tolerable, but at least I can kind of follow the mindset of "I'm lazy and it's biodegradable  ", but if you already brought something for the express purpose of carrying it away and take the time to wrap it up, why would you leave it there? Goddamn savages.

How the gently caress are you people still talking about this? Yall like to forbid stuff, we get it. It obviously impossible to talk to you guys/gals about this, you have actually continue this derail with a lot of circle jerk. Its been like 3 pages now, we get it, can we get back to politics now? This last page has been the most swedes.txt I have ever seen. I mean you all come back to the same argument :smokers are stupid, well homeboys, yall are stupid as hell as well, most humans are.

There's renewed interest in the case of the Danish state allowing the Taliban to stone a kid to death for being the wrong ethnicity. DF is, unsurprisingly, totally cool with it. You could basically follow the decision to have the kid murdered in real time. The two brothers were on TV before the deportation, outlining their fears and hopes for the future. The murdered kid wanted to be a doctor. Then he was deported and almost immediately killed, while the elder brother escaped to one of Iran's lovely refugee camps. Their deportation was decided under Thorning, but effectuated by Støjberg. Reason being that the Hazara aren't personally persecuted.
