Do smokers really bother you?

Really. Every time I see one I am just disgusted. It's gross. They look stupid holding a rolled up piece of paper in their fingers or mouth. It smells horrible and it ruins your life.

Anyone that smokes automatically loses a lot of respect from me.

Not nearly as much as people who don't grasp the concept of applying perfume/cologne sparingly. I should not be able to smell you from eight feet away.

They bother me when they smoke outside the building. I'm 3 floors up yet every time one walks by down there outside somehow the smoke smell always ends up through my window and stinks up my room :frown:

I have trouble breathing for awhile if I'm around a smoker long enough. Of course, it can be much worse if the smoker is inconsiderate and doesn't blow the smoke up or at least in the other direction.

Whats even worse is someone who smokes, then they put tons of cologne/perfume on and you can smell them from 16 feet away.

People have a right to smoke, I have a right to clean air.

If they're puffing in my face, I'll either leave if possible or if not, ask them politely to stop.

If they're breaking a law (smoking within xfeet of an entrance to an establishment) I'll go get management and have them move them.

Edit: I love California, no smoking indoors (bars, restaurants).

I don't like that smokers treat the world like their personal ash tray and will leave butts any where.

Out neighbor 2 doors down smokes. His wife doesn't allow it in the house so he does it on his porch and it stinks up our house.

Yessssss. I have an extremely strong sense of smell and the odors from commercial cigarettes are revolting. What's worse is that the senses of cigarette smokers, in my experience, are blunted due to the smoking and they can't smell any other foul odors they give off in addition to the smoke smell.

This is my biggest pet peeve. Whether it be tossing it onto the sidewalk or out their car window. I have no idea how they justify that on any level. Arrogance.

Then what's the purpose of the reposted * infinity thread?

Why do you think that it's necessary to post your stream of conscience on the matter if you don't care what smokers think?

Best part is when you see them doing that while driving their prius with a "go green" sticker on it :p :roll:
