But I dunno. That's just me.

The fact that it's been proven that second hand smoke directly contributes to the deterioration of non-smokers health kinda renders your post moot. When someone near me is smoking to me, it's having a negative effect on my health. If you'd like to argue that second hand smoke doesn't actually cause non-smokers in the vicinity to experience shortness of breath, headaches, coughing/sneezing, or any other unwlecome side effects, please feel free to do so.

I mean, you're going to come off sounding like a complete jackass, but please, feel free. When you smoke within any proximity of another person, you're having an effect on their health. If you're trying to speak about the subject in some larger context? Fuck me, all apologies.

(For the record, Delaware outlawed smoking in all public businesses a few years back. For the record, I did not agree with it then, nor do I agree with it now. That asie, arguing that second hand smoke doesn't effect non-smokers is just damn silly.)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My smoking has no effect on my friends, and I do my best to make sure it has no effect on the rest of the people around me. Not quite sure where I explicitly spelled out I was arguing the position of second-hand smoke being harmless, but you do seem awful convinced so I'll cede the argument. And besides, it's cute when you get all blabbery and repetitive.

I'd have thought it was obvious that I was under the influence and misinterperted your post, sure seems that way to me. Kudos to you for taking steps to ensure your smoking has no adverse effect on your friends.

Awfully silly to assume every smoker takes those same steps though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wish I had something more clever than "fuck you," for the implication, but at the moment I'm too drunk to care.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
