Nice people, one and all, BUT
each and every one of them is a smoker... (Met my girlfriend's family for Christmas dinner this evening...)

Nurse! Oxygen, please! *gasp*

1. I know how that feels.
Some of my family smoke like fraught trains.

2. I'll bet they smoked in the house too, huh ?
I smoked for 25 years. I know how it is.

3. I Am Too
I never really got PO'ed about it until I was setting in the smoking section in a busy Mall next to a reformed smoker that insisted on calling the Manager because "she" didn't like it

Otherwise, I would have put it out if I was politely asked like I always have done....

4. It's Difficult For Some Smokers To Understand...
... I know it was for me when I was a smoker. Sometimes the more cigarettes a day you smoke, the meaner and more belligerent you feel when someone asks you to smoke outside or not smoke at all.

Smokers sometimes forget that even though something is legal doesn't mean they always have a right to do it anywhere, anytime, around anyone.

Ah... but I digress. The one thing worse than a ex-smoker with an attitude is a smoker with an attitude.
