As a life-long smoker and former RN...you are both naive and/or so self-centered that you must live under a rock. Crying about second-hand smoke? Get a real issue to whine about. There are so many!
Like how in the hell did the pot head smoker in the White House win a re-eleciton with a majority turnout of the GOP? Once again just so you catch it...BO and his supporters smoke!
I can handle multiple issues at once.
Smoking is a public nuissance no different than any other and my post was about the right of communities to self-regulate on this front. Only smokers think their issue is ‘special’ and demand special rights in the public realm.
You needn’t have identified yourself as a smoker because that is self evident in your name-calling, bullying attitude. It’s a smoker’s ‘tell’.
I have no idea why you think Obama’s smoking habit has anything to do with the election results or that it’s news to me that he is a smoker. What does any of that have to do with this discussion?
I simply noted that as a non-smoker, I find cigarette smoke to be a nuisance. It is an irritant, to the extent that even if someone is 20 or 30 feet away, it bothers me.
For that I was advised to “get therapy.” But there’s nothing to get therapy for. It doesn’t bother me mentally. I frankly don’t give a flip whether anybody else smokes or not. It bothers me physically. That’s the case even though I grew up in a smoking household. And I doubt that I am alone in this.
