okay, so my friend yells at me every day because i smoke herbs, even though theyre completely legal. first of all, i havent smoked in over a month, and when i do smoke i make sure its something thats not bad for me. i dont even smoke weed (not that its legal..)
she b****es at me because she got a stroke, and that if im disregarding my health like that its wrong because she cant be healthy. i feel sorry for her, but i still think its really uncalled for her to tell me that im gonna harm myself because i smoke every once in a while.
if she just told me this, i really wouldnt care, the thing that pisses me off is that theres this girl who sits at our lunch table who is obese. and im not saying this in a mean way, im saying that its unfair that she b****es at me for "disregarding my health" (which isnt really that bad, i always check to make sure that what im smoking is safe) when theres this girl next to us who is "disregarding her health" right in front of her face.

but seriously though, am i just being stubborn, or is she just saying all of this because shes against drugs?

and also, dont i have the right to do whatever i want with my health (i mean, as long as im not harming myself to the point where its fatal)?
so yeah, what do you guys thing

Unfortunately she has the right to complain. And you certainly have the right to continue doing what you're doing.

Bleh... I tried those Herbal Ciggarettes once... I didn't like them much. Although, I don't think that they do much harm. There is always the chance when you inhale smoke into your lungs of damage, I don't think that it's as bad as regular cigarettes, but it's still there.

All I will say is, look at it from the point of view of someone who has had a stroke.

They would love all of the things you take for granted health wise and, if I were in her shoes, it would probably tick me off if someone was abusing something they were lucky to have.

As for the obese chick.. she has to eat. You don't have to smoke.

She doesn't have to eat amounts so large and shun exercising to the point that she's obese.

The papers? I don't think so it's the chemicals put in tobacco that's bad for you hence chewing tobacco is liable to give you cancer of the mouth.

Surely that would depend on the reason for being obese. Jumping to a fairly rash generalisation assuming she eats too much and doesn't exercise.

What would you suggest as a possible cause?

People who say smoking is more dangerous than obesity, never had a sumo wrestler try to sit on them.

Overactive thyroid?

A friend of mine would be classed as 'obese' yet she eats healthy and runs 4 miles a day.

Well I think she sounds like she's just being a caring friend; and a tad resentful that while she is in poor health, you are taking your health for granted, and you are taking it for granted!

As far as the obese girl; yes, it's unhealthy for sure..but you never know with strangers, there may be a medical reason for it, some type of glandular disorder.
