This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You're taking a very weird offense to me saying it wasn't cool. As I said, growing up amongst my friends, it was never seen as cool and I never considered it as such. Of course, it might help that we all had family members who were affected or ravaged by their smoking.

I don't think nor was it implied anywhere that I'm morally superior to someone who smokes or does drugs. Everyone on this planet uses drugs in some capacity.

No offense was taken, I though adding a little Futurama quote would show that it was all supposed to be in good humor. Sorry if I came across as defensive, offended, or otherwise offended you with my response. It was not my intent.

Was just adding my 2 cents as a 90's kid that the "smoking is cool" propaganda and marketing still existed, and was still effective.
