True often smokers are inconsiderate..and yes he does lose it when he loses it ;-) Just wanted to say to smokers here..I can understand it's a hard habit to break as I live with a long time smoker..just wish smokers could try a little harder to minimise the impact of their unfortunate decision on the rest of the world. The ad (TV) has it exactly..it just kills me when some smokers flick butts out the car window, for instance..littering is something every citizen can prevent and I think most people make an effort not to throw other rubbish out the window when driving, so how come cig butts get by that filter?
Same with butts elsewhere..spoils those quiet spots with benches cos that's what you often find on the ground around.
Personally the smoke almost makes me sick as well and by accounts here it's the same for smokers too..so I think we'll all understand each other if I say to smokers, please try to smoke where people don't have to walk through it..
Mind, my credo is that people should be free to make their choices, but also that it's only ok if others aren't forced to live with it too. Same applies in my life. Hope you guys aren't offended if you can understand what my motive is.
