We could be heroes…

Today, I stepped outside my office building for a smoke break and I witnessed a mugging so I ran over to stop it. I succeeded in getting mugged instead of the original target. I then couldn't get into my building until a coworker left an hour later. My boss was mad and still doesn't believe me. FML

maybe ur nagging about smokes killed him?

What he meant was: Smoking kills, my friend. My friend referring to OP

18. Nagging about smoking does NOT kill, smoking DOES. YDI. Oh and second hand smoke kills too. So the person smoking isnt just ruining their life, they are ruining the lives of the people they smoke around!!

your a dumb-ass, and also a complete douche for saying that.

guys. I think someone just learned about second hand smoke and now wants to share this information with the world. my dad smokes. he has for about twelve years now. I'm 16. I'm fine..

42, I completely agree with you. BOTH of my parents have been smoking for many years, they started way before I was even born, I know they didn't smoke around me when I was an infant but they have for many years after that. I'm 18 and I'm fine too :D

@kaylanicole1255 - Have you caught on to the fact that your whining about secondhand smoke killing people is pointless?

I don't think it's pointless at all to complain. People have the right to be out in the street without having to breath in foul air/smoke. I don't think it will be too long until smoking is out right banned in public, and then not too long after that, banned to smoke near people under 18. It seems fair to me anyway, and if you think it is OK for people to be hurting those near by, then i think you are far too ignorant to have an opinion. And to those who say smoking parents have done no harm: you don't know for sure, you could have turned out to be much fitter and healthier if they hadn't smoked.

Tobacco companies make entirely too much money for smoking to ever be banned completely. I guess it's possible for it to eventually be banned in public but I don't foresee it anytime soon. Call me ignorant, that's fine, but I'll stand by what I said. I dont appreciate breathing in air-polluting exhaust fumes from vehicles, but no one is bitching about that, nor are they going to ban polluting vehicles. Secondhand smoke is in no way the only thing, or even the worst thing, that's in the air.

News Alert: EVERYTHING KILLS. Your pet could kill you. Water can kill you. Jello can kill you. Teddy bears can kill you. Earth can kill you. Cigs can kill you. Your family can kill you. Your friends can kill you. Sex can kill you. God(s) can kill you. Nothingness can kill you. Sleeping can kill you. Living can kill you - So are you going to give up all this stuff, like smoking, just so you can live an isolated life in an egg before getting hit by a car?

clap, clap, clap, clap but seriously OP, think about giving it up. not smoking for smokers, makes them stop thinking. you should have finished your smoke and then reacted, or atleast taken a big puff. that would have made you realised that a mugging usually happens when one of the person is armed, and you would not have rushed to help out - rambo style. hell, i am a social smoker and am preaching someone to give up?

Come on 28, you, like those truth campaigns are about 30 years too late and obnoxious. Practically everyone knows about the ill effects of smoking and yet people still make that choice, there's no need to go on a crusade.

She's just upset that people still choose how to live their lives instead of asking permission from the government like they teach in college. Remember boys and girls, the years smoking takes off your life are the can't remember your name, living in a nursing home ones at the end. Oh, and if I liked you enough to wish you a long and healthy life, I wouldn't smoke around you. Bitching at me will not help your cause.

as far as you know your fine now,..maybe you won't be down the road. the effects might not be so obvious now.

see. second hand smoke does NOT in fact kill

Thats funny. You all are fine now but just wait! My friends mom has smoked quite a lot around her boyfriend for many, many years. His dr yelled at him for smoking! He does NOT smoke!! His girlfriend does. Now his chest scans look like a chain smokers!

Oh and 2nd hand smoke.... explain to a 5 yr old highly allergic to smoke why she can NOT go to public places. Also calm her fears of death cause shes SO afraid that shes going to die. She has to have a nebulizer anytime she comes in contact with smoke from ciggarretes(sp). And her fear of death is justified. So I didnt just learn about 2nd hand smoke. Ohhh and Im one of those people allergic to smoke. I inhale any amount no matter how small and my throat starts closing up in a matter of minutes!

Brownie points for stopping the mugging, but do yourself a favor and quit smoking. Tobacco Companies make billions off getting people trapped in addiction. Take a stand.

@22 - Normally, I go on a bitch rant about all the "smoking is nasty and you're killing me with your secondhand smoke" comments about how OP should quit, but I respect your comment. It was very mature, and, admittedly, true.

now do you believe that smoking is bad for you?!

No, I believe muggings are bad for you.

If you're going to interfere with someone mugging someone, you ideally should have the capability of stopping it. YDI.
