When I smoked I followed the rules and was considerate. I didn't always like it or agree with the rules but I obeyed.
What bothered me a lot was the people who go way overboard, like when you're outdoors, away from crowds and entrances, and they act like walking anywhere near your smoke is going to give them a disease.
These aren't people who are complaining about a condition they already have, they're going nuts thinking they're going to get cancer from the minute amount of smoke they MAY breathe in while passing by. Outdoors! All while cars are driving by spewing exhaust and they have a sack of McDonald's in hand. They treat smokers like shit and they're so damn angry and ignorant.
This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Nobody should have to deal with this sort of idiocy and rudeness. Not smoking doesn't put a person on a pedestal from where they can spit on people they think are "below" them.
Is it normal to be awe-struck by socially-accepted rudeness?
