I am a smoker and public smoking in some instances can make me sick. I prefer to follow the rules and smoke only where it is allowed. I however cannot stand people in the public eye telling me why I should quit. I smoke because i want to. But secretly I smoke in the presence of non-smokers to piss em off. Why do you smoke? do you hate people telling you not to smoke? I can't stand people that wear too much cologne or perfume it makes me sick. What do you secretly wish to do to smokers or non smokers?

I am a non smoker. I used to be this kind of people that harass smokers, telling them to quit, but I don´t do it anymore, if they smoke where it is allowed, I am okay with that.

Thank you for your honesty. Smokers are People too and just because we have a bad habit that doesn't make us bad people. Smoking causes alot of health problems such as premature aging for one seasonal allergies and constant afflictions such as bronchitis. I know this and have experienced it yet I still smoke.

I am a non-smoker, and I really don't like to be around people when they smoke. I have several smoker friends, and when they smoke around me, it hurts my lungs, and I get paranoid that I stink like thier smoke for the rest of the day! I do agree, however, that if you want to smoke, then go ahead and do it. It is your body, but I just don't want it imposed on me!
