I personally don't like smoking. I don't smoke and it really annoys me when people smoke in public areas as if they are giving no regard to other people around. I probably bet they know the health hazards that it brings not only to them but to others who can inhale the smoke. I know that it seems to be a very hard habit to break but can't they just be considerate? Like smoke in areas where there's not a lot of people? There are some designated smoking areas yet a lot aren't following those. They just smoke whereever and whenever they want.

How about you? Are you annoyed by such actions? Or is it just tolerable?

i don't smoke and i don't like the idea of smoking, as much as possible i stay away from my friends and relatives who smoke. It's bad enough that i experience second hand smoke, i have difficulty breathing as well when i smell smoke for cigarettes. Just yesterday i heard on the news that smoking can help in having lung cancer. non-smokers who breathe in secondhand smoke take in nicotine and other toxic chemicals just like smokers do. The more secondhand smoke you are exposed to, the higher the levels of these harmful chmicals in your body.

i don't smoke but i don't want smokers to feel annoyed just because i don't smoke. i give them their right to smoke in public where it is allowed but i don't stay on those areas. but i expect them not to smoke and respect us when they are in non smoking areas as well.

I personally can not stand smoking, and I have a paranoid reaction where I feel like I am losing brain cells every time I smell the smoke. I personally think that smoking should be banned in major metropolitan areas to further reduce pollution. In rural and suburban areas, smoking should probably be only in certain areas. Also, the government should take more steps to combat smoking by providing services for people that want to quit and to not allow tobacco lobbyists to get what they want. I am pretty sure that the tobacco industry has a major influence in politics, but don't quote me.

Yes!!! I really do annoyed with people who smoke in public. I also dont smoke even do both my parents smokes. I tried to stop them from smoking but cigarett have an addictive component. Its rearlly hard for them to quit that why I never tried to smoke. When I'm in public and someone smokes' I get easily annoyed. If I'm in public vehicles,I will transfer where I can't inhale the smoke or I rather transfer to another vehicle. Maybe we can tell them our concern in a nice manner. The problem is they don't know that people are irritated to them and the only way is to tell them.

I smoke myself...but smoking in public even when its in my face only bothers me minorly not even enough to get mad except when people are deliberatly being rude about it which does happen that makes me angry although it would anyone so no it doesnt really bother me all that much.

I don't smoke and I don't enjoy being around smokers because of the dangers of second hand smoke. In my country, smoking is banned in public places. You can even smoke in Entrance ways of buildings anymore. I think smokers should be more considerate of non-smokers.

i don't like smoking because it does not make me feel any sensation especially the first time i took it, its just the menthol sensation that makes one feel high but at the long run one will get admitted for all sorts of infections and diseases and it is definitely going to make life worse

I have nothing against other people who do - but I just am not into smoking.

I don't know why because I've got lots of really close friends who smokes although not anybody from my household smokes so maybe it's where I got the idea of to not let smoking be one of my habits. And for me now, it's a good thing because even my hubby doesn't smoke. Not even a stick a day.

I juts perhaps want to avoid the way it smells. I just don't think it'll even work for me. I tried once but I didn't like it so I just tried it once and never bothered making it as my habit just to simply be "in" with my peers.

I don't smoke but I don't mind others who smoke, second hand smoke being hazardous is purely a lie.
