19-year-old fitness instructor and wannabe influencer was fired cause she kept smoking during the fitness classes she instructed. What kinda person thinks smoking in a gym is OK?

She used to work and work out at the gym I went to and I’ve seen her there a couple of times. I liked the gym, but decided to not renew my membership cause the cigarette smell was unbearable whenever she was there. I just don’t get why gyms hire these kinds of people in the first place…

    I think you know exactly why they hired her 🍑

    But how is it feasable to smoke 80 cigarettes per day! A cigarette takes like 10 minutes to smoke if you don’t huff like a dragon. 80 cig x10 min = 800 min = ~13 hour smoking per day. You would not be able to keep any kind of job with a smoking schedule like that… Except maybe onlyfans…

      Back in the old days (hangs onion from belt) we could smoke in the office. I knew a 3 pack a day smoker - Canada so 25 to a pack. The only way he could manage to do it is that he always had one in his hand. If he didn’t, he lit another one. That meant that he’d often put one down to do something, forget about it in the ashtray, and light another. I occasionally saw him with 3 going at once.

        This was extraordinarily common. It’s good that it’s slowly getting behind us (speaking as an ex smoker, thanks to ecigs, I never would have managed without that).

        I think the “people born after this date cannot buy cigarettes” laws are a good system, but it seems that the lobbyists are managing to kill most of those attempts.

      I had a roommate in college whose mom would smoke 2-3 packs a day. She’d light a new one off of the dying ember of the last one. Chain smoker.

      That’s half a carton (5 packs) a day some days. Even the most dedicated smokers I know only do about 2 packs a day. (I don’t smoke, but I used to sell them.)
