Poll: Do you smoke?

Re:Poll: Do you smoke? by rg on Wednesday May 06, 2009 @07:12PM (#596987)

One day as I lit a cigarette someone said to me, "I used to smoke, and then I realized that I was the smartest person I knew who still smoked, so I quit." Later I thought about this and realized that I was the smartest person I knew who still smoked, so I quit too. Actually thinking about the smokers you know can be an eye-opening comparison.

I don't smoke, but several people I know who are smarter than me do. Does that mean I should start?

No, only if everyone you know who's smarter than you smokes.

If you ever noticed, almost all restaurant workers smoke. I notice because I own five.

Just curious, how much does it cost to purchase a restaurant worker these days?

I've found it strange how so many chefs smoke. Smoking affects your sense of taste, which you would think is important.

For evidence, watch "Hell's Kitchen" or "Top Chef" ... or the service door of restaurants/diners/pubs.

When your job is almost entirely about providing immediate gratification for other people, smoking is something you do entirely for yourself and your friends. Even if it involves huddling in the cold.
