Today, I continued my habit of saying, "It smells like lung cancer over here" any time I see a smoker. This guy turned out to be an amateur MMA fighter, and I was his "workout" for the day. I guess his lungs are doing fine. FML

I don't usually see people coming back to comment on their own FMLs, but I wanted to see what people had to say. 136, I don't make a habit of walking by smokers. I've just had a few too many family members diagnosed with lung cancer from what should be called a lethal drug. I wasn't trying to be condescending with my remarks. I was simply giving a harsh reality in a way that could possibly cause him To put the cigarette down. To add on I'll ask a question to everyone: How angry would you be if you found out you had lung cancer or emphysema some second-hand smoke?

I don't see how you wouldn't deserve that.

You should mind your own business in future, they made the decision to smoke so let them get on with it.

Making comments like that to strangers is just a bad idea. It's not your place to "[give] a harsh reality in a way that could possibly cause him to put the cigarette down." Violence isn't the answer to an unwelcome comment like that, of course, but "smells like cancer over here" is a really snarky, uncalled-for thing to say to someone on the street. I'd be pissed too, and I don't even smoke.

Ugh, I hope you weren't badly hurt, however, I hope you will realize in the future that no one likes self-righteous assholes.

Smokers are so stupid. Karma will kick him in the ass in a few years when his lungs turn black.

To the op "I've just had to many people in my family get lung cancer" uh ever think it could be GENETICS?

It's proven that smoking kills 1 in 2 smokers. So no, if everyone in your family got lung cancer and they all smoked, it's probably the cigarettes doing it. "I've just had a few too many family members diagnosed with lung cancer from what should be called a lethal drug." Next time, read the WHOLE sentence.

If your going to be a smart ass at least know how to defend yourself!

Maybe you should keep your mouth shut before you make a comment like that. Maybe they chose to smoke, knowing that it's slowly killing them. Yes, there is secondhand smoke, but deal with it like everyone else. You don't have to be a dick about someone's nasty habit.
