Smoking

[AChimp]

Get your own life and leave people to their vices.

Most vices don't invade someone else's life like cigarette smoke does.

I have trouble breathing when I'm around people who are smoking for a while. I can stand it for about 10 minutes and then I have to go somewhere else. Either that or lay gasping on the floor.

What about when people smoke around their kids, especially very young children? A few weeks ago at work, a woman came up to the till and asked for a pack of cigarettes while she had her two young daughters with her. As soon as she asked for it, one of the girls asked her why she was going to smoke if the doctor said her sister was allergic to the second-hand smoke. The mother's reply: "Yeah, whatever."

If my boss hadn't been right behind me, I would have told her to fuck herself.
