Why are teens so defensive about smoking?

Let me start by saying I have never smoked anything and never plan to. I cannot understand why some people get so offended about people calling out the teen smokers. Smokers already know it only hurts them so why do they defend themselves when someone calls them out? They are seriously annoying they blow smoke over to everyone else around the bus stop and it is not pleasant. Why do these people get so defensive about it? [spoiler]before you go posting about me exploiting others accounts on Facebook they made all things public and they posted on a public page, so I am just as entitled to post who they as they are to post on the page. [/spoiler] The comments on this did continue for quite some time after the picture and it just turned into a butthurt fest like all teens on the Internet but really the smokers got so offended and I cannot see how they are at all in the right here.

  • I don't like putting up with second hand smoke. My aunts husband smoked daily and she never even touched a cigarette. She has lung cancer now and is currently undergoing chemo. My uncle decided to quit but that's a slow and difficult process and the damage is done. I'm not prissy about limited exposure but I'm sure not going to hang around smokers often

    • Smokers suck. They are unattractive, unpleasant to be around, and are slowly killing themselves.

        Because they are sad creatures who either feel smoking makes them cool or they don't have the resolve to quit so they blame nonsmokers. That or they may just be dumb.

        • I smoke an ecig and I still go outside and make sure I'm not around anyone ( like within 15 feet) it's just common courtesy. When I was a kid I -blam!-ing hated cig smoke. I still do. But my ecig isn't any better and should be treated the same.

              Some people smoke because of anxiety. Skrillex did for awhile but I think he quit. [spoiler]still doesn't justify smoking[/spoiler]

            • The problem here is these kind of people think they're entitled, they think you should be the ones to walk 15 feet away because they have the right to smoke, well they don't realise that nobody has to inhale second hand smoke, the smokers should be the ones to walk away. *Prepares for butthurt idiots to attack me*

              Many of them catch shit all day long for smoking, which is an addiction, and due to the processed tobacco, one of the strongest there is. So when they are smoking it at the bus stop because they can't smoke anywhere else, and catch shit because of the direction of the wind. They get a bit annoyed. Most smokers wish they could quit. But it's not so easy. And no this is not to say there isn't a massive load of d-bags everywhere as well lol

              Second hand smoke has never caused any medical issues. However, smokers should move away from others when smoking. Edit: I'm a heavy smoker.

              • It's that difficult to walk fifteen feet away? You sound like a whining buffoon. If you think this is a massive problem, the problem is your own mentality.

                • They're probably defensive because everyone judges and condemns them for what they're doing. If I were to compare people who complain about smokers vs the smokers who complain about being condemned for the habit, the nonsmokers would far outweigh the smokers.

                  • Teens at bus stops? Because they want to look cool in front of their friends and if somebody points out how dumb and childish they're being then they flip shit Generally adults are aware of the health concerns smoking entails and they don't take pride in smoking four cigarettes a day
