Alcohol, cigarettes, vices

[Ashe]

Another awesome way I suggest for my friends to save money is to learn to play Magic and LoL.

EDIT: That said, I'd throw out a "Don't smoke, its stupid" comment but I don't expect to do more than waste my time with it. I think I don't mind people smoking the occasional cigar due to the fact that a lot of people keep it very occasional. It also, judging by the smells, seems they'd have a bit more point to them. Surprisingly, over the years I've come to a stance that I have less of an issue with weed than cigarettes, partially because there is just more of a point to it. (I've done neither, so its just an objective stance.) What annoys me about cigarettes is that due to their wide acceptance, availability, and mobility, it practically encourages people to do it more often than other things.

An example brought up earlier was the person who "doesn't smoke" but "only" does whenever they are drinking. They also like to go to the bar once or twice a week for "social time" and want to know who's hosting the party each weekend. Its kinda like a stance of "I'm not gay, I just suck dicks a few times a week". Then again, I have a personal issue where if I see a girl that I think is hot start smoking, she doesn't move to "smoking hot" but "a wild Wheezing appears!"

Anyway, a lot of people like to convince themselves that "Its k, I'll just do it occasionally, like when my friends are outside and I want to hang out with them, or when I'm drinking". At the gaming shops I hung out at, people rode that excuse a lot. They also got to the point where they were interrupting my games to pry my friends to go outside to smoke with them but they weren't developing a habit by any means. They can stop whenever they want to, so get off their back about it. Ok, then stop. I don't want to.
