just a bad ugly habit
I smoke allot it helps keep my nerves down
I would rather smoke then take nerve pills
all nerve pills do is make you sleep your life away
I know cause I was taking so many of them
just to sleep to escape from the world
Not no more cause Jesus wants us to live in the moment
God loves us all
Smokers are not bad people at all

Of course with the topic of smoking, he got a rise out of some of you and you all fell into the typical over-reacting mindset on the internet. First of all, I hate smoking, but I'm not attacking Erik for the using that analogy. The analogy gives way to the point he is trying to make, which is, HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE OF WORK. As well as taking a couple breaks through-out the day to re-charge. Too many of us are slaves to work, sacrificing our free-time. My re-charging revolves around cycling and music and understanding I am not going to let work destroy my free time. ~the GURU People, calm down.

It is okay for one to decide to pump their lungs with harmful stuff every 20 or so minutes, but its another to make me, who has chosen that oxygen works for me just fine, take in secondary smoke, and increase my chances of lung cancer. If you are gonna kill yourself, do it at your convenience and away from others who kinda like the concept of being alive. Great post by the way!

So this is really ludicrous. I disagree, when I have worked with smokers, I often get less breaks because I don’t smoke, And find that I do way more than them. So this is really ludicrous.
