Today, my mom had big news. I've been trying to get her to quit smoking because of second hand smoke for 20 years. She learned today that second hand smoke severely affects animals as well. Her big news? She's quitting. She doesn't want to hurt the dog. FML

Smoking is cool

Today, I've learned that you can get chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from second-hand smoke, even if you don't smoke. I don't have it yet, but my parents are heavy smokers. They insist that the health risks are "exaggerated". Why don't you go tell that to my grandma, who actually DOES have COPD and was a heavy smoker until recently? FML

Today, my future mother-in-law told me she thought I was severely allergic to cigarette smoke. That hasn't stopped her from chain-smoking around me for the last 3 years. FML

Bullseye

Today, my mother called me and told me that she went to the hospital. This wasn't a surprise 'cos she normally goes to the hospital for the smallest things. I was a smartass and asked, "What now? You finally have lung cancer from all those cigarettes?" Apparently, she does. FML

Stressed out

By Emily Ann - 08/06/2021 13:59

Today, I overheard my mom, who quit smoking years ago, saying that I am the only person who stresses her out badly enough to want to smoke a cigarette. I have never once tried to stress her out, and in fact I do everything I can to make her life easier. She works in retail. FML

Today, it's the third day since my mum quit smoking, and I realised that her health-drive is having a negative effect on my own health when she bitch slapped me down the stairs because she didn't get a joke I told her. FML

Dumbass idea

Today, my mother tried to tell me that nicotine is the only substance that ensures weight loss, and that nicotine has been passed down in our family for over 5 generations of heavy smoking relatives. Then she encouraged me to start smoking. FML

Smoking kills

Today, my grandmother - who has been a heavy smoker for almost forty years, and does not believe in the dangers of smoking - was diagnosed with COPD. Also, I'm now at a greater risk of developing COPD because of her (and my parents, who also smoke). FML

Today, I broke up with the girl I'd been dating for two months because she started smoking. This is a deal breaker for me. I just found out from her friend that she started smoking for the sole purpose of getting me to break it off and now plans to quit. FML

its crazy how much more people care about animals than people these days... a lot like in the movies, you can watch hundreds of people die and be upset, but as soon as a dog dies you begin to feel bad (example is i am legend, the human race was being destroyed and nobody cared until dog died)

A lot of parents will go to the ends of the earth for the kids, but ask them to quit smoking and they look at you like you have six heads. Either way, I can understand why it would hurt a lot, that she would put your dog's welfare over yours but... A lot of people tend to prefer animals to people, speaking from experience--being I'm a person who doesn't like people. After a cruel day in high school, I'd rather spend the afternoon walking and playing with my puppy then I would chilling with friends. Animals don't give you drama, lip or hurt feelings. And when they die, they don't have the same understanding of pain or death, that us humans are able to grasp. It just hurts, and they don't know why. They don't have the medical terms, or explanations for any of it. All they have is love. Unless it's a raccoon. Raccoons are evil evil things.

I have a similar story. My classmate's grandma used to smoke. News came out that smoking killed your lungs. She decided to keep smoking anyways. News came out it caused wrinkles. She quit. Completely.

#38 I agree but the physical addiction only lasts for 48 hours....after that allllll mental. If u don't want second hand smoke don't live or be around smokers! Bingo bango! You can easily move away!
