Hi Kannon: sounds like I hit a nerve. I stopped smoking in 1973 and it was one the best decisions I made for the sake of my family and me. Today even the faint smell of smoke is troubling. I furrowed my brow wondering what EMT or police officer would come to the scene of an accident with a cigarette dangling from his/her lips? My comments were made partly in jest meaning that I wouldn't exactly run. By the way I find most smokers today who are keenly aware of not offending other people with their smoke. However even those smokers on a golf course fail to notice how the smoke lingers in the air .
Finally let me say that this topic illustrates how some people fail to take responsibility for their acts. One poster found it to be judgmental on the acts of others. I find it to be human nature that people will respond differently to different things because of our frames of reference. While I would avoid the odor of smoke I would not be rude or unkind to the smoker in fact the smoker would not even know because I would suffer in silence and the same goes for people with tattoos. so people can't help how they feel but they can help how they react to those feelings and again I do so in silence
Personal Best Regards:
