Smoke on Your Own and Kill Yourself

Now, after stirring up discussion about spitting, let me now start a new discussion about SMOKING. I know I can never dictate a smoker to quit smoking and live a health lifestyle. I have nothing against smokers. Yeah, I respect your preference or your habit, however, let raise this point: NEVER LET YOUR SMOKE KILL OTHER PEOPLE. To simply say it, don't smoke when you are with so many people. Studies have shown that second hand smoking (smoke inhaled by other people from the smoker itself) is also as dangerous as first-hand smoking. A man was walking ahead of me this afternoon when I get out of EDSA Shangri La. Then he smoke. Due to thick number of people walking on that sidewalk, I didn't notice that that man was walking ahead of me. To keep the story short, I, well I guess, the other people, also inhaled the smoke of his cigarette and the smoke he exhaled. It was really disgusting. It's as if he is the only person on that place that time. When on earth can some people learn how to be concern of others' welfare. :( Smoke on your own! What do you think of this another unsanitary habit?

Well at least the guy was smoking outside. It would be a whole other story if he did that indoors instead. I am an active smoker but a considerate one. What I mean by this is take my vehicle for instance... if I am giving someone a ride somewhere, I will ask them first in my own vehicle if they mind if I light up. If they say no I will respect that and wait until I drop them off. If I'm in a crowd of people I have a concience and will not light up. That would make me stand out and I would dislike that. Take care

Yep. Studies have shown second hand smoking can kill. But people have legs, they can walk away from the smoke, or atleast hold their breath for a couple of seconds and step away. It is a disgusting habit, but they have their right to smoke, and people have their right to walk away from it.
