Hi there

[wilmet_forsyth]

I found this community after searching the web for pro-smoking groups. I actually signed up for LiveJournal just to join this group because I feel the need to have some people to relate to and talk to about smoking. I feel really alienated now by how the world around me feels about smoking

Welcome! Happy to have you :)

Hi! I know what you mean, I hate the assumption that all smokers are miserable addicts who all want to quit and just need help to do it. I love smoking, and don't want to stop anytime in the forseeable future.

People in the states can't enjoy a vice without being fully educated of all the horrible, crippling side-effects via billboard, commercial, etc. It's good, and it's bad. :)

Welcome! Though the community isn't super active, I think you'll find the posts that do get made are always enjoyable to read.

I completely agree with you about how it seems to be taboo to openly enjoy smoking. It's like... I don't get why some people like fast food, or certain TV shows or whatever, but they enjoy it so is it really any of my business? I don't expect you to apologise for the things you like, why should I apologise for what I like? But fear not, there is no apologising for what we enjoy in this community! :)

Thanks everyone- it's great to find some like-minded people. I've enjoyed reading the past entries in this community so much. There seem to be so many intelligent people here with interesting insights.
