Gotta’ Smoke?
This is in response to you who live here in Winnipeg and visitors. Be glad and proud that you can afford to smoke. Say no to those who bum for a cigarette so you don’t kill them with a life threatening inhalent. Don’t feel guilty for saying no, when really you’re actually saving their lives by saying no. And you, the less fortunate ones, don’t bum for a cigarette. Don’t do anything stupid to get one either. I am saying this because, this one person demanded I give him a cigarette when he saw me smoking one. I told him “no” and he didn’t accept my answer, so he violently attacked me. So I hit him back 3 times in self-defense and this is how it happened; me hitting him, him hitting the side walk, and the ambulance hitting 80mph down the street to pick him up. So find a job so you can support your own habits.

Hi Nathon,
First of all, if I did smoke, I am convinced never to bum cigarettes. I notice some friends and family feel a sense of entitlement when it comes to sharing cigarettes. Like my Mother-in-law always says: “Share the wealth”. How is it different for strangers?

You are soo right. When I moved out here it was okay, until I was walking down the street coming back from school, when a women asked me for a smoke , when I told her I didn’t have any she called me
bad names for not having a smoke. What people will say and do for just a cigarette.

I agree people need to support their own habits and stop asking people to support them. I had a similar incident like that was kinda of funny at first but got heated after I refused. So if you smoke support yourself if not just quit cause I would.
great posting!!

Now that’s funny but from experience I have a job n I can support my habits. But then with this damn layoff crap I have no job but I am looking and have one job that is talking to my references so I know that I will be getting it, but you know for me if someone bums me one when I am in need than I do the same for when someone else is in need, for I treat people the way I would like to be treated.

I strongly agree. When I used to smoke, I would get asked all the time and when I refused it would upset them. Some of them would ask as polite as a polite person can get and when i refuse they would just morph into a crazed person. I really don’t understand the concept. You ask a question and we answer. There’s no right or wrong answer really. The answer is no and it will stay no.
