I am going to be perfectly honest. I don't give a damn if you feel as if you have the right to smoke. I don't care if the money you spend makes you feel entitled to smoke. I don't care if you hold the position that you are only ruining your health, and aren't doing a grand load ofdamage to mine with your habit. I don't care if you live in the US of A and think you get to have what you want if you have the ability to obtain it.

I do not go to restaurants that have smoking sections. I ask smokers to move away from doors so the smoke doesn't waft into places I go. I inform the people standing 3 inches from the open bus doors that smoking is currently banned at most of the transit stations where I live, and what they are doing is rude.

I do this because regardless of your "rights" what you are doing is annoying and uneeded. We do not allow others to be harrassed unduly nor for people to urinate on others, there is nothing saying you "get" to smoke, only laws telling you where you may not.

Ultimately, you are, in America, allowed to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Pursue all you want, but if your annoying, smelly, unhealthy habit happens to obstruct a crowd of people, nay even two people and their pursuit of happiness expect to be told to do it elsewhere or nowhere at all.

If this is all too long for some: You may pursue your habit until it becomes an annoyance of mine.
