The First 26 Reasons to Not Be a Smoker

1) You can say you're better than the smokers for all of these reasons.

2) It's hard to quit to be better than all those people. 

3) Cancer. I mean, high blood pressure, pneumonia, increased risk of CAD, yada yada yada, but really. CANCER.

4) The smell is unattractive. 

5) So are your teeth. 

6) And let's not forget the wrinkle effect.

7) Or the sick voice. 

8) People who can climb a flight of stairs with ease are sexy. 

9) I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Haha, Robin's derp 

10) It's expensive. 


11) Plus, you don't even get to use these things anymore.

12) And it hasn't been glamorous since you could. 

13) It's just one more choice you have to make. 
There's a difference, I guess?

14) It's just one more thing work your life around. Like, who really has time for smoking breaks?

15) You contribute to Big Tobacco and all the lobbying it entails. I mean, you're taking away your own political influence there. Be a statistic in the right direction. 

16) Dat ash... 
Insert high pitched scream

17) Those butts...


18) They're finding a cure to the diseases it inevitably causes by animal testing. 
This is your fault, smokers. I'm calling Sarah McLachlan on you. 


19) You lose your sense of taste. This could be like, twenty reasons on its own. Chocolate, Mac n Cheese, fine wine and cheese, your mom's best baked goods, LATTES! What if you could never taste LATTES again!?

20) Literally everything you own smells. Bye bye resale value... 

21) It reduces your circulation so you are colder. All. The. Time. 

22) You know what else happens when you can't get your blood pumping? 
SO MUCH HIMYM. Not even sorry. 

23) Friends are like potatoes; if you smoke around them, they die... or something like that. 

24) People around you (cough FRIENDS cough) won't make "that face" when they're trying not to be bothered by your smoking smell. (Double bonus, the coughing will go away too). 
The Original HIMYM

25) Oh! Those people that cough at you when they walk by! 

26) You aren't even allowed to do it anywhere anymore. But sometimes you're allowed to do it outside, segueing perfectly into...

...BONUS: 27) This. You don't wanna be outside in this.

So maybe this was all just an elaborate framing technique to bitch about the weather. Maybe this WAS just a petty "challenge accepted" post in response to a Facebook comment.

But for realzies, don't smoke.
