Yeah, whatever. Did anyone smell the anti-smoking Nazi’s propaganda machine? I sure did. Soon enough I’ll be hunted with torches by the peasants and the “do-good-ers”. Why can’t you people mind your god damn business and stop pushing your “second hand smoke” bullshit on our throats.
Excerpt from the site: “When wearing the jacket, the smoker exhales cigarette smoke into a one-way air valve in the collar, trapping it in. The smoke is then channelled through some tubing to a pair of plastic lungs on the front of the jacket. Inside the lungs is air-filter material which darkens to a brownish stain after repeated exposure to smoke.
The lungs aren’t completely airtight, so the smoke will eventually seep out, allowing it to be used many times.”

Ok so this is an anti smoking accessory designed for smokers to show off their brown lungs when they smoke…. Yeah that definitely sounds like a good idea. The funny part is thinking that some anti-smoking nazi (as you said) would sacrifice him or her self for the good of humanity…. oh lord… I think I have a tear in my eye….. Great WTF

Supposedly you’re “polite” and blow the smoke into the jacket as opposed to blowing it into the air (where it eventually gets anyway). But you get to also see an example of what smoking does to your lungs. We all know that smoke does bad things to your lungs, that’s clear. But come on, I smoke one cigarette and suddenly all around me get cancer? Give me a break here, people…

I actually quit smoking, but it was my choice. I agree and appreciate smoke free environments now and do mind when smokers blow smoke towards me, but then again, any stranger blowing air in my direction can 1.) piss me off, or 2.) make me gag. But the whole kill the smokers thing is just a bit too much sometimes. I can buy orienting people about the hazards of smoking. I can support places not allowing smoking to promote healthy lifestyles. But having people hiss at people just because they smoke as if it makes non-smokers that special pisses me off the most. But hey, when have fanatics, fad fanatics and trendy people ever been rational?

Joker, I don’t understand how come your comments end up in the spam filter
I’ll quit smoking sooner or later and, surprisingly, it’s because of a tv ad from Australia. It had a woman with mouth cancer talking about smoking. Every time I light one up, I think of mouth cancer, and that’s not really fun.

I can only imagine the feeling. Two reasons prompted me to quit smoking though. First I was short of breath during a surf session and I think the last place you want to be short of breath is ten feet under water and the second is my girlfriend. She’s allergic, I don’t need to smoke, I love her, end of story. Hell I work cigarette advertising, have free cigs at my disposal and smoke less than at other agencies I’ve worked at. Just goes to show you that if you make it easy on yourself, it almost loses its sex appeal. but I can’t deny I get nasty ass cravings from time to time. Oh well. Another method to quit is to tally up how much you spend on cigs, after your initial calculation, realize how much shit you could have bought. I think it’s another effective way of quitting or at least reducing. Anyways, good luck with that and no worries, as long as you get to read the comments, I don’t mind the filter. Laters.

The tally up method doesn’t work for me. In Romania, compared to other countries, cigarettes are pretty cheap. I’ll let you know when I’ll get to it. Cheers.
