I am a smoker but, I don't like being in tight quarters
and having to put up with large clouds of stale smoke.
I don't want to put anyone else through that crap either.
I go find space to light up if at all possible. But, I
have had other people come into the space I found and
start complaining that my smoking is annoying them. I
tell them that the solution to their problem is to leave
since I was here first. If I sit in a restaraunt I will
gerenrally leave my pack on the table for the world to
see. If someone sits near me and starts cussin' 'cause
I light up, this pisses me off. All they had to do was
move. If there isn't anyplace for them to move to, they
can ask me not to smoke. I'm not a jerk (maybe just my
opinion but it's the only one that counts) I wouldn't
make them sit there and endure the torture. All I ask
is for people to be nice. Ask don't cuss me. I work
with a lot of people who don't smoke. They have been
pretty nice about it all. I do intent to quit as soon
as other matters in my head are cleared up. (Thank God
most of my problems are in my head where they can do 
very little damage.) I have cut back a lot because I
do not have a lot of time to think about lighting up.
Now if I could just stop lighting up the ones I smoke
without thinking about it-------
















Don't light what?     What gasol
