in offices, government buildings, stores and shit, yeah, I agree, ban smoking. It is a nasty habit and I dont wanna be around it.But in pubs, come on. If you dont wanna smell smoke, GTFO of the pub.
Yeah it is really annoying. The most annoying thing is that the places just reek of sweat now, I'd far rather smell smoke than other people's body odour.

When i was addicted to drugs. I always had something to do. I always had a purpose and felt satisfied when i was getting high. Now, i just sit around, work and waste away from life and stress. Is it worth being sober?
Everyone needs a fix, something to relax and have fun in doing. Drugs happens to be one of the unhealthy ones. Sounds cold but i think people as a community only don't want you to do it because it causes antisocial behaviour. Though as SelphieT pointed out, it can ruin relationships with friends and family members. So drugs have a steep price beyond the money.
I think it's pretty safe to say everyone has at least one hobby. I have several.
I think it's worth trying different things. Variation is the spice of life after all 😊

To be quite honest, if the person has 100% control of the drug they are using, and not vice versa, then I have no problem if they do drugs. I have done cocaine before, and I had to quit because I knew that I wasn't in control, and that the drug would end up controlling me.
Whatever extra-curricular activities you partake in, I have no problem. As long as you are in control.

Weed is just as much a drug as heroin is. The only difference is that weed is a natural occurring substance, while the latter is man-made. I, personally, never liked weed or how it made me feel. That's why I just drink alcohol.
i tried extacy and acid before and i didnt like it.
I used heroin for a while in my teens. Managed to stop before I really became addicted though. Haven't smoked weed in almost a year. I 'only' smoke now, and enjoy the occasional drink. Don't really miss it to be honest. Using heroin is one of the dumbest things you can do to your body, and weed gets boring after a while.

Excellent point Matt.

I used to smoke weed ALL THE TIME. In college, I was basically stoned every day, it blows my mind that I got decent grades. I drank beers every night, or mixed drinks with a bong rip or five. I even started my career with the same habits, only I didn't get stoned at work so much as I did in class. As I got older, I realized I couldn't live that way anymore. I began to realize that jeopardizing my career was stupid; a random drug test would have put me unemployed, plus pot made me lazy. I also started thinking about marriage and kids . . . did I really want to find a partner with the same bad habits and end up having a family with her? Nope. So I basically quit smokin' dope, and now a six pack of beer lasts me for over two weeks.
I never quite let drugs become a problem, but I put a stopper to using them when I knew it was time. It was difficult to do, but not all THAT difficult. Now my addictions are watching tv shows, making stupid videos, and sexy time with my wife. I'm not claiming to be anyone's roll model, but shit. Anywayz . . . srug
