. . . to be that judgemental.
There is a huge segment of the population in this country that is adamant that a woman have the right to choose what she does with her body, whether it's get an abortion or become a prostitute, but God forbid you want to light up a cigarette. You may as well go club some baby seals while you're at it.
Yes, I quit smoking. I did it because I felt it affecting my health and felt I had no more choice in the matter. But I stand firmly behind anyone's decision to smoke. I would still smoke if it hadn't affected me like it did. I enjoy smoking, the taste, the sensation, the feeling, everything. Who the fuck are you to judge people?
Hey Fucking Demon, I'm sure if we examined your life we'd find you to be a fucking hypocrite as well. I dare you to tell me that you've never done anything that may not have been the best thing for you. If you can honestly tell me that I'll apologize for calling you a hypocrite, but I'll tell you to get a life and live a little.
