What do you hate about smoking/smokers? (Smokers this isn't the thread for you!)

I 'hate' smoking, and I 'hate' smokers (ok, I don't actually hate the person, usually, but I do hate being around smoke)
It's a waste of money...directly and indirectly. Indirectly being the health concerns, and not only for smokers. I don't like that I have to suck in second hand smoke from someone I walk by on the street...endangering my own lungs and health even though I choose not to smoke. I've seen other health problems. My grandfather has had emphysema for as long as I can remember, gets pneumonia almost every year. When I was young I did not have asthma, I now have asthma most likely caused by second hand smoke because 90% of my family smokes. Smoking kills people, smoking sends people to the hospital, smoking makes people sick, smells nasty, costs too much...and is pointless except as a crutch whether it is perceived or not.
That being said it makes me happy to see when people decide they want to quit. And I know it is hard, so I wish the best of luck.

I hate smoking as well. Where I live, smoking indoors is completely illegal (and nobody in my family smokes) so whenever I get exposed to secondhand cigarette smoke I find it even worse than I otherwise might. As part of my job, I have to go to this HORRIBLE bar/saloon place with one of my clients on Monday nights, and the owner of the saloon completely ignores the law and sits there chain smoking all night. I hate it because it's disgusting and I can't even do anything to remove myself. When I come home, all my clothes and my hair smell like cigarette smoke which is just awful. I dread it every week, but I can't afford to drop that shift so I suffer through. Usually on Tuesdays I'll feel a little bit sick from all the secondhand smoke.
I also hate smoking because I have no good memories of my paternal grandmother. She died from lung cancer when I was young, and my only memories of her are being absolutely terrified by her horrible hacking cough.
I wish you the best of luck in quitting.
