This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I smoke. My partner smokes. Yes, it's horrible for me, but I'm probably going to die at 60 anyway.

Neither of us smokes in the house. We don't smoke in public around other people. The ashtray is emptied into a sealed can. Second-hand smoke stinks, and an ashtray smells even worse.

The problem isn't smokers. The problem is inconsiderate assholes who don't stop to consider how their actions impact other people. I like smoking, and I don't want to smell the half-smoked cigarette you snuffed out and shoved back in the pack that's reeking from your pants pocket.

You do you, but I hope you realize that dying from smoking is usually less "sudden massive heart attack at 60" and more "drawn out emphysema until the sweet release of death at 60."

Also, smokers mostly all smell no matter how they try to hide it.
