Second hand smoke outside is not going to hurt anyone.  People are so hypersensitive they're like 'OMG the smell!"

I don't like cigarettes, but I have to say I kind of like the smell of a freshly lit cigarette in open air.

I can't stand it. If I go outside, I want to smell... outside. Not disgusting cigarette smoke. Plus, it's an asthma trigger for me.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Yeah, because inhaling the smoke of some asshole who is smoking in front of me on the sidewalk is so much less harmful than other kinds of smoke.

What I hate is when they all crowd right outside the door to the building. Can't you walk another 15 feet to smoke? Assholes.

I can't stand the smell of smoke once it gets into my clothes, but when it's fresh, secondhand smoke reminds me of the video arcades I used to sneak off to as a kid.    :)

That and any place with outdoor seating. And always upwind from everyone else. And it's apparently Ok to litter if you're a smoker

There are by-laws here that require them to be some distance away but that just moves the problem - you still need to walk by them to get to the entrance of the building.  One day a guy puffed smoke into my face as I was walking by.  I dont think it was intentional as he just wasnt paying attention to what he was doing.  My elbow coming up and knocking the cigarette out of his hand was.

You know what is weird, as a prior smoker, I find it repulsive. I'm ok with people spending money to slowly commit suicide, just do it far away. I hate to even smell it in my normal day to day. But...





...But camping out in the woods, talking shit around a campfire with a beer in hand, a good cigar is The Awesome.  :ph34r:

I am: contradiction :blush:

Cigarette smoke and spilled beer aroma in an outdoor setting remind me of going to Reds games at Riverfront Stadium in the early 80s :)

I'm maybe less keen on cigarette smoke in poorly ventilated indoor areas.  Reminds me of bowling alleys back during the day.

Plus he's 10 feet tall. The guy must have been on the top of a staircase.
