These article always say the “smoke has passed through the lungs”. Some of it has but the rest of it or maybe most of it, is coming right off the burning end of the cigarette. It is the same smoke that smokers crave and a huge majority of us hate it. Why should we have to breathe it? I can’t stop breathing because they want to smoke. Take it home and smoke it.
That's the problem right there!
In my state there is no place for people who smoke to gather -- none -- not one. WHY? Why can't there be accommodations for both sides?
It's pathetic that hubby and I have to go to Vegas where he can enjoy a cigar with his adult beverage with other like-minded adults.
What symptoms do you experience? Do you break out in a rash, become short of breath, etc.?
Why does the private business have to have a special license? A license is a tax - it's a permission slip.
Private Business owners should just post a sign - smoking allowed or no smoking allowed.
And even sign posting is pushing it, nowadays you have sign police, sign regulations and sign fees.
How in the hell is someone smoking outside (with no one around) keeping smoke in your face? Many of these outdoor places are large and not crowded with people.
It is not physiologically possible for you to be allergic to tobacco smoke.
An allergic reaction requires protein. There is no protein in tobacco smoke.
If I were you, I would look for the source of your hysteria and eliminate it. Hysteria is the only explanation for your reaction(s).
