: Because it affects other people too, I can hardly breathe when I'm walking by smokers on the street... (asthma, etc...)
Would you like to get rid of homeless people too? They stink to the HIGH HEAVENS!
it sucks for bystandards, hell, even if you're not smoking right then, many (if not most) stank after they smoke...
What about the assholes who jog seven miles in the middle of winter and come to a closely grouped class still in the same clothes, I'd rather smell a cigarette than someone's ass for 3 hours.
it's annoying as all hell to sit next to a smoker on a crowded bus, etc..
If you're riding the fucking bus, you are in NO POSITION to determine who sits next to you.
: As for everyone else posting a response to this message, they are all/were smokers, so what are you complaining about, someone has some concern for a man we all really respect and love, so they want to help Kev quit if he wants to... Heck, i'd do it for Harley
Because Kevin didn't ask for you concern. For all you know he MAY not be smoking anymore.. If that lady wants to quit smoking than she should quit smoking, that simple, she doesn't need a 'celebrity-quitting' pal to help her, nor does he need a 'fan-quitter' to motivate him.
It's really really creepy that the offer was made or that you Swami felt the need to add on the caveat, "Heck, I'd do it for Harley."
Fuck, Man, just fuck.
I'm sure Kevin and Jen know how to manage their child, but your outrightly self-righteous concern for them is just misplaced at best. Misplaced.
