As the saying goes you don't miss what you never had :)

No, to have an opinion of its taste, I have to smoke. To have an opinion on its health, its looks, its costs and its smell, I don't.
Yes. Therefore you can't say that people who smoke are morons, because you don't the most importan aspect of it.
You can say that is unhealthy, costly and smelly.
Eating shit does not make sense. I haven't try it, mainly, because, well, it does not make sense.
Naturally.
But as you have not empirically proven it, you cannot say that shit tastes bad :)
I cannot define it. I haven't tried it, and therefore I don't know exactly how it tastes, but I do have an idea what it would taste like because tasting also takes place in one's nose. So saying you has 'no idea how it tastes' is not correct.
Well I have no idea how it can taste.
Fish stinks like hell, but still it is quite tasty, isn't it?
Does onion or garlic smell well? No, but well prepared, they are tasty.
It's all about personal preferences. I think it's costly. That you differ has no influence on my preferences.
I agree.
The thing is, you named smoking as pathetic. I don't think you can make such claims as a person who never smoked.
You can comment on what you can understand [price, impact on health etc.] but since you haven't tried and have no idea how it feels like and how useful it can be, you cannot make such a strong comment on the whole thing. You can only comment the aspects of smoking that you can understand/know.
Also:
People who are smart enough and have a strong personality don't start smoking.
I don't think I'm stupid, nor I have a weak personality.
I just find smoking fun and a thing that I want to do.
Eating melted cheese is also unhealthy. But I like to eat it from time to time.
Living a life filled with only what is proper and healthy would be extremely boring for me. For someone else it might be an adventure, but people differ and it doesn't really have much to do with intelligence.

I also know people who quit and they are doing alright. Most of them smoke a couple of times each year when at meeting of old friends and parties :).
Hm...maybe weak is a bad word. I just think that people put too big importance on the organism-addiction. Of course there is some addiction, but the main problem is in the head. People got used to the idea of addiction so much, that they often use it as an excuse. I sincerely hate people who often complain 'oh I should stop smoking, but that damn addiction...what can I do, poor me'. Just stop smoking, it's not that hard.
Maybe if someone smoked for over 20 year, then yes, it might be a problem because he got used to it and it is natural for the organism to expect nicotine after lunch etc.
And yeah, non-smoking while with a 'bird' is quite typical..;)

Yes. Therefore you can't say that people who smoke are morons, because you don't the most importan aspect of it.
For you, that might be the most important aspect. For me, being costly and very unhealthy is enough not to be interested in that aspect, and therefore, I don't take that aspect into account when making my opinion on cigarettes.
But as you have not empirically proven it, you cannot say that shit tastes bad :)
It's like the non-existence of gods. You're right, I'm not sure, as I cannot be. All points leading in one direction suffices.
Well I have no idea how it can taste.
Correction: you have little idea ;-)
Fish stinks like hell, but still it is quite tasty, isn't it?
No it isn't. Fish stinks and I don't eat fish because I don't like it.
Does onion or garlic smell well? No, but well prepared, they are tasty.
Not a big fan of onions nor garlic either. You're really picking the wrong examples mate ;-)
The thing is, you named smoking as pathetic. I don't think you can make such claims as a person who never smoked.
Sure I can. Once again, I don't need to know the smell to know that I think it's pathetic.
I don't think I'm stupid, nor I have a weak personality. I just find smoking fun and a thing that I want to do.
Look, I'm not actually saying every person who smokes is either stupid or weak. I thought you'd realize not to take it that literally. It's just a stupid choice. Why would you try it? Why not try cocaine? Why not try heroin? (As you probably realize by now, alcohol is the single drug I ever tried, apart from medication of course.)

This is where I disagree some people may refer to this, but addiction exists fact.
I also believe people have different tolerances to addiction some may get addicted after one cigarette or it could take a few. Same with other drug uses that I cannot mention on a forum.
I know this as it's the latter I'm use to smoking out of habit and routine, especially when fishing potentially boredom. But I am also well aware that my receptors in the brain get very agitated if I don't get that hit if nicotine.
I have no desire to look up scientific facts and I don't tend to start, but what I'm well aware of is life experience of me and others around me.
I applaud people who never got into smoking worst mistake I done even if I do enjoy it, but what I don't agree with is the freedom of people smoking and the so called health bills this cause. The taxes smokers pay covers this and some and 9/10 people with lung cancer don't know it until it's too late.
Anyway this is getting a bit deep for bed time writing and it's making me want to smoke let's lighten the subject.

Big Brother, whom you can't tell about your drugs ;-)
Still not quite with you, but ok :)
I would be lying if I said I have never tried, but don't have no interest at all I've seen what it can do to people it's enough to put you off for a life time.
Saying that I haven't gambled on football for over a month and not been down the pub for 2 weeks, if. I quit smoking I'm nearly there.
Only problem is here I am on sokker at 1am and I have to be up in 6hours for work :)

I have exam in eight hours ;-)
In all honesty I would rather go to work than sit an exam I don't miss them at all.
What are you studying?
What are you studying?
Advanced Master in Taxation, after last year's Master in Business Economics.
But my four previous exams went well, I know I'm screwed tomorrow, so I don't really care ;-)

Nice I studied business no where near that kind of level though, confidence is key I'm sure you will be fine :)

How's your career going after the studies?
I finished linguistics, so my job prospects are quite limited ;) Did some translating, including books. Now most probably I will publish a book in 3 months which will be a huge step forward...nothing sure yet, about 90% chance it will go as I hope it will.

Linguistics :p
I'll probably try to start working at a Big 4 firm as corporate tax adviser (to specialize in that field and to gain some experience, so I can take exams to try to become a tax consultant later).

3 of my mates work at Deloitte...it's not that bad from what they say, though they have to work in different cities quite often.
and believe me, studying taxes sounds for me the same as linguistics sound for you :p
although in my defence, it was applied linguistics, so mostly concentrated on translation. If I would have to study theoretic linguistics I would kill myself.
