*Outdoor* Secondhand Smoke is a Hazard?

Clearly you also think a shower (bathing) is overrated. I don't understand smelly drug addicts. But then I believe in being fair to my neighbors. Just because they like it means other's don't suffer. First indication of a self serving drug addict is my sinuses expand. Followed later by the smell. Then followed by a headache. But then that is my problem? Smokers are more important than anyone else.

How smelly are these drug addicts? I can even smell them from time to time as they drive past me - while on a bicycle! They smell that bad - and will often deny I can smell them. Just more symptoms of denial from drug addicts. Why do they even bother to take a shower?

NYCs ban on smoking has been working well. Non-smokers are now able to visit many restaurants and bars from which they were banned by nazi, drug addicted smokers. As in CA, it has meant about a 5% increase in businesses where self serving smokers once forced out all other customers.

Yes its all about what is fair. Smokers must first ask and obtain permission from everyone in that room and who will be in that room before they can smoke - if they are being fair. It smells worse that the worst fart in history. And unlike farts, it also creates health problems (long term) and headaches (short term).

But then smokers are also distinguished by another well proven fact - lower intelligence. Smokers have a lower intelligence (according to tests). Smoking is the need to temporaryily restore a drug addict's thinking ability - as even demonstrated by PET scans. That is what is we call addiction. A drug addict needs a cigarette just to restore thinking to normal levels. Why should they impose their addiction and body odors on everyone else? Low intelligence means no on else matters?

Shame on such drug addicts for claiming any rights. First they should fix themselves. The facts about smell and how it adversely affects others cannot be denied. But drug addicts will do so anyway. Denial is part of being an addict.
