I've told him that I'm aware that it's unhealthy, and I appreciate his concern, but I choose to smoke anyway. When that didn't work I reminded him that he has vices of his own that I don't bother him about. He's one of these chihuahua types that gets annoying quick.

Would anyone else here get severely irritated and pissed off at this type of thing? Or am I crazy?
He doesn't have a right to get on you about your choice to smoke, but even if you go outside when you come back in you reek and you still smell up the apartment.

:roll:

Gross. At work there was a smoker who would always walk by my cube, blowing his bar-smelling grossness into my cube. When I'm at a bar, thats one thing, I accept it - although thankfully a lot of places are making that so it isn't like that anymore. But at work, yuck.

If you ask me how I really feel, I hope that all of you smokers don't make it to 65 to use up MY medicare and SS dollars. Hurry up and take another puff, seriously!!

He probably just likes bringing other people down to make himself feel better. Tell him to go to a self esteem class.
