Do You Hold Your Breath When You Pass by People Smoking

Yes. I always hold my breath when there is somene nearby me smoking. I just can't stand the smell of the smoke. I hate it a lot. There was once i almost beat the crap out of a guy who was smoking in a restaurant, (unluckily beside my table) even after I/waiter have asked him to smoke outside the restaurant. The smoke is really disturbing my fine dinner.

Yes, this annoys me as well. I do usually hold my breath when I pass those who are smoking. Depending on where they are I sometimes even cough or mutter under my breath. And don't even get me started on if I happen to get stuck outside with them...especially if I have my kids with me, because I can turn into a real b*tch then! LOL Happy mylotting!

I do not care for people who smoke. I understand they (need) to smoke some place. But don't intentionaly blow it towards me just because i dont smoke. Yes, i have hd people do this. O i will be standing waiting on a bus and some person who smokes stands by me and lights up. So, I move out of their way and they move . Whats the deal??? Are they mad at me because i dont smoke? Sorry but smoke really bother me.

Yes, it does, so much. Me too, I always hold my breath even when I'm passing those who just finished with their smoke. I really hate it, but I hate the smoke, not the person who smokes. =) I would be very grateful and thankful if they do smoke so far away from me and let me free without smelling any smoke. The rules for smoker are now getting stricter and I'm really happy for it. =)

OMG I use to have too do that when I was departing the Staten Island Ferry in New York. Everyone departing would start to light up and I didn't want to inhale any of that second hang smoke. So I would have to hold my breath. I then started to get up earlier to be in the very front and then I would be able to run off the boat before everyone started to light up. Alot of smokers don't seem to care when they are smoking outside. Thinking its not going to hurt us non-smokers.

for me as a smoker i a very sensitive in the people around me. i usually smoke far from many places. cause passive smoker is worst than those who is active.

i have grown into this habit of deliberately holding my breath and moving fast away from a person who is smoking.i feel people should be more considerate of others while smoking in public.

Cigerret smoke really bothers me, it actually makes it physically difficult for me to breath around it. Luckily I don't encounter it that much any more. A few of my friends smoke but they don't smoke indoors around me, when I am around them and they are smoking they are outside and the try not to blow smoke towards me and keep the cigerete down when not taking a puff so it is not as bad. But if I am ever stuck somewhere where this is lots of smoke, I will hold my breath or cover my mouth and nose a lot when I breath in.

There are so many smokers that it would never be possible for you to hold your breath every time you pass by people smoking. But obviously you may try so that as a passive smoker, you are affected to a lesser extent.

hai friend, just saw your discussion and yes the problem focused by you is suffered by most of the people but most of them don't oppose such act because they indeed would be doing the same somewhere else and rest of the people will be helpless as to oppose them would sometimes bring about an argument or such which will also be unhealthy. Inhaling the smoke can lead to some serious health problems so to oppose such actions there must be some rules so that we can authoritatively as the smokers to stop it. In my country india their is a strict rule that says that one should not smoke in public this helps alot to reduce such activity is their such rules in your country too this can help a lot.

hi how are you?? I do hold my breath too and i really hate persons who smoke they do not know what would be the complication later on. I really do not know why many people used to have smoke?. they should consider other people, if they want to smoke they should in a private place.

30 years before i smoke more but now i hate smoking.

I think it is globally practising the no smoking in public, if they do, need to go in smoke zone area. I used to hold my breath whenever someone is smoking near me, I still believe of a second hand smoker can have the risk of lung cancer five times, as compared to first hand smoker.

I am very glad to find discussion like this.I also hold my breath like you,and I leave the place.When I found a smoker in rail station,in bus...I feel very angry.How does peoples do it in bus, and even in train?

Im a smoker, you cant help where the smoke goes, but you know its going to spread through the air...I try and have reapect and think of other people and try and smoke as far away as possible to other people.

It's really annoying when somebody smokes in public places. I always hold my breath whenever I pass by a smoking person or whenever someone pass by who is smoking. But I can't hold my breath that long so I just cover my mouth with a handkerchief. I have a friend who is smoking and she always apologize to me when she need a smoke. She position herself wherein the smoke is not in my way. Sometimes it doesn't matter where she position herself because I can still smell the smoke and it always triggers my allergic rhinitis. Bad for me.

Yeah, well I don't like people, who smoke 2, but I don't hold my breath. U know, alchol stinks 2. Try to breath trough your mouth. But it really annoys me to. I don't get it, what is the point of smoking. Can some1 explain it to me? I know that people like it, but I don't get, why? But this is a really good discusion

dear i love smoking so i search for persons who r smoking and deliberately pass by them and try to inhale the smoke......that gives me a bit high and pleasure....as its absolutely free...hehehe :)

yup, I don't want to be a second-smoker. Everytime the smoker walks by, I will hold my breath just in case I breathe in the smoke unfortunately. If I see a guy stand still there for smoking, I will not walk to them and walk another way to avoid. Happy myLotting!

er, I think the guy smoke in room is impolite. they should consider others who do not smoke.This is the minimum of respect.If you really want to smoke,please go to the public smoking room to smoke.
