I’ve never been able to figure it out, unless this applies.
Some folks can smoke for 50 years, not as big a problem as you would think. Others can smoke for 20 and die of lung cancer.
I think we each have our weaknesses, and for some folks smoking just isn’t it. For others, it is. For some, second hand smoke is a very big deal.
Your health is your business, but as a smoke I wouldn’t know that you had a lung problem just walking in and lighting up next to you.
I wouldn’t walk into an establishment and force my stink and smoke off on everyone else.
My mom and step-dad chain smoked. I’ve been in rooms that were about 15’ x 15’ with everyone in the room chains smoking, when I was about 12.
Within an hour, there was a four inch thick layer about four feet off the floor, that was just pure smoke.
You know what, it never bothered me.
As an adult now, I can smell it from 50 feet. It’s disgusting. I just don’t know how someone can be so crass as to force that off on everyone else in the place.
If they went back to allowing smoking in places, I wouldn’t frequent places that allowed smoking ever again.
IT SINKS! IT SMELLS TERRIBLE!
It's worse than that. Within minutes my eyes burn, my throat burns and my sinuses start to clog. It's not just the smell although having to talk to a smoker just after they've sucked down a cig is pretty disgusting - their breath makes me want to puke.
