redhawk76 said:...The whole "honest workforce" thing: those quiet, hard-working, competent, and patient "ants" who don't ask for (and don't even take, they just politely decline—and they can) anything except a "thank you." Why do they stay silent and let themselves be lumped in with corrupt bureaucrats?

👍

You can absolutely decline if you actually want to. It’s simple: a doctor just tells the patient, "Hey, if you aren't taking this home, just drop it off at the first soup kitchen you see." Word would get out fast, the bribes would dry up, and those soup kitchens would be loaded with ham. 🤣

I really hope you aren't actually a corrupt bitch in real life based on what you just said. 🙄

Ri§ said:What tribe were you visiting? 😉
They don't even have cash for smokes, let alone seen a smartphone...

A real tribe, one of those North American 😉. Honestly, the lack of people glued to their phones was such a breath of fresh air. A bit off-topic, but whatever 😁

My vacation's up 🙂 😛

Anthony Kim18 said:...yeah, smoke-free bars can absolutely crush it.

I've been there, seen it, lived it 😉 👍

hit up some spots in those states that passed that ban on smoking in indoor public spaces. the bars were packed, the vibes were killer, the music was top-tier, and instead of people blowing smoke everywhere, I didn't see a single phone sitting on the tables 😁

total heaven

dustycanyon6 said:Smoking is an action—it’s something you actively do. Not smoking? That’s just a state of being. If you smoke by yourself, you're just exercising your own freedom. But if you smoke around people, you're stepping on their rights because you're poisoning them and making their lives miserable. When you don't smoke, you aren't doing anything to anyone else, so nobody's freedom is getting violated. It's simple math. Maybe pick up an ethics textbook before you try lecturing people about liberty. 😉

Dusty, looks like you can't make sense of anything without a diagram! 😁

Christian Sanchez44 said:Anyone else dealing with this? How’d you handle it (or not)?😢

I just handled mine naturally through diet. Forget the pills, the meds, the drugs, Voltaren, or any other artificial crap. About two or three days before my period starts, I stick to heavy, whole-grain bread and soy milk. Soy products have plant isoflavones to balance out hormones, and whole grains keep blood sugar steady, which helps stop those weird mood swings.
You won't even notice your cycle started... 😉 🙂

Has anyone already pointed out that it’s been proven that smoking shortens your life?

Gerald Rivera17 said:.... And even knowing all this, I'm still gonna smoke. 🙂

🤣 so even knowing all this... 🤣

Gerald, sorry, Gerald Rivera17, thanks for the laugh.😁
Honestly, man, all this arguing is just ridiculous. It's like debating whether a centipede is dead after the oil tanker already hit the reef and the giraffes have already crossed the desert. Total waste of breath.

Just quit this nonsense and find a new career while you still can, because trying to de-nicotinize the entire planet is like trying to stop bird flu. 😁 😘

nimblestag31 said:...honestly, I think smoking weed makes way more sense than cigarettes. At least it smells decent and actually does something. Plus, people aren't doing it nearly as often.👋

Word.👍 😁

Angela Newman said:There’s a massive difference between booze and cigarettes. Yeah, they both suck for you. But nobody talks about "passive alcoholism." 🙂

spot on😉

Chris Mitchell11 said:I remember being stuck in this smoky crowd where everyone was totally ignoring me when I asked them to stop smoking. So, I grabbed some insect repellent—not the toxic stuff, just the heavy-scented skin spray—and blasted it for half an hour. Naturally, everyone had a total meltdown. 😁🙄

😂 Too much...
At my old job, basically everyone smoked, even the boss. I decided to fight back by lighting incense sticks, picking the most obnoxious scents I could find. You wouldn't believe how fast I cleared the smokers out of my office; they ended up building a separate smoking room just to get away from me...😉 It really just comes down to upbringing, general culture, and basic decency... you shouldn't smoke next to someone without asking if it bothers them first.

Man, I wish I could see this happen here in the States... If smokers want to poison everyone and pollute the air in public or indoor spaces, they should just stay in their own damn holes. 👍Future Law
is coming, baby...

Jessica Davis12 said:...when it comes to health issues, you've got drinking and smoking, though drinking is actually worse.

Comparing smoking to drinking is straight-up idiotic. You think my liver is taking damage just because someone else is getting hammered?!
