A SMOKER GETS FRUSTRATED BECAUSE MOST OF US REALLY WANT TO QUIT AND NON-SMOKERS I DONT THINK REALIZE HOW HARD IT IS. I BELIEVE IF YOU ARE HANGING OUT WITH SOMEBODY THAT SMOKES THEY SHOULD RESPECT THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T AND MOST OTHERS DON'T AND WALK AWAY TO HAVE THE CIGARETTE. REMEMBER, PEOPLE SAY SMOKING IS MORE ADDICTIVE THAN HEROIN. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS TRUE BUT I CAN TELL YOU QUITTING IS WHAT I WANT MOST AND THE HARDEST THING I AM GOING TO TRY. BECAUSE IT IS LEGAL AND EASY TO GET IT IS HARD TO QUIT.
THANKS FOR CARING THOUGH. MEANS A LOT.

I think it's a combination of things. Second-hand smoke IS dangerous, and it is very offensive for someone to be blowing smoke in your face. If it's a non-smoking bar or even home or car, the smoker is out of line. Being a smoker today is just not cool OR popular!!
I take offense to the word "retarded,"whatever her name was!! Thanks for giving her hell. Great question deserves a star! :)

im not a smoker, but i smoked before(never been a chain smoker)
well.. i smoke not because i like it, i smoked just to have the impressions that i rebel against someone
and those who rebel against something/someone never wanted to be told, maybe that's why
and as i see, smokers is sensitive, emotionally, not all but mostly

I started smoking in the sixties because there was something in the smoke that I craved. I still crave whatever it is and for others to tell me they care but don't give me what I crave, or tell me how to get it some other way, to be boorish, self-serving jerks. I have volentarily participated in many drug studies to find the cure for this and other illnesses, and continue to do so. Perhaps those who find fault are the reason for my craving?

Because smokers don't want to be told what to do no more than non smokers would like being told to stop eating fast food because it's bad for them.

because they probably hear it 100 times a day and are sick of it. if they want to smoke, then they want to smoke. someone nagging them isn't going to change their mind. my boyfriend has smoked for like 13 years. for him, it's about his rights. smoking is not illegal, so he's gonna do it if he wants to. he knows the health hazards and has cut back on his own. if i were to nag him about it, it would only make him continue smoking to prove a point.
