@noyesa I did not mean to say that there are not people who are truly very negatively affected by cig smoke, like people with asthma and others. The point of the bubbles is that this is not even something that effects other people’s health, but can still be annoying. Smokers are in their own little world. Not all. There are plenty of smokers who will not light up before asking if it will bother the people they are with, would never smoke in someone elses house or car, etc. But, they still are not asking the table next to them in a restaurant if it is bothersome.
I am not very concerned about my health if I am in a smoky area, because I am not around smoke that often. But, I don’t like it. I don’t like the smell, my husband HATES it, and so even if he is not with me and I come home smelling like an ashtray it is annoying to him.
My aunt loves to smoke. I would not try to take the pleasure away from her at this point. She just chews nicotine gum when she can’t smoke in a public area.
