I hold myself back not to kick the shit out of parents smoking infront of their buggy
McDooglestein
I'm a smoker and I hold in my smoke when passing by strangers
BondHaimBond
I do, and I'm a smoker. Disgusting habit.
EddyWally4President
I do it when gasses from cars pass by.. It's disgusting :)
NineByNine
yes because the stench is disgusting to me :<
forcefulpuspus
I hold my breath when someone I think is gonna stink walks by
SoMuchPooPooSon
So a smoker?
ChaosGoddess
I'm a smoker & only smoke at designated areas and don't exhale if nonsmokers pass. And yet people bathe in perfume that gives me migraines.
thekittel
Amen!.
Nakedinside
I started smoking because they don't make whiny bitch repellent yet.
Bananakin
The smoke makes me cough and it smells absolutely horrible and gives me a minor, but gone in a minute, headache. So yeah.
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
If I get too much secondhand smoke exposure I spend the next day in bed with a headache and nausea.. shit sucks
Beruthiel10
Same! My headaches from it are pretty bad though, and if I can't get away I feel nauseated.
adeepermystery
I'm an ex-smoker (quit 4 years ago), and I am so, so sorry. I grew up with smoking parents. I honestly didn't "smell" it till I quit.
Robotnikeggman
Same here, 2 years now and by fuck it stinks, my wife still smokes and wonders why I don't kiss her as often
They say it's a far worse smell to us than to those who've never smoked. I had to buy new curtains, jackets...and eventually I *moved*.
I really want her to stop but I know the more I push her the more she will push back and smoke just to spite me
NlGHTW0LF
I do. I was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago (better now), but I don't want to take chances of re-occurrence
catfancier
Congrats on the recovery!
CAPITALLETTERSANDSCEPTICISM
As a smoker, i hold the smoke in my mouth when i pass by people.. it seems right.
RileyBanned
Man I've been an on off smoker for many years now and I know how terrible it can be for non smokers and I feel sorry/guilty for all of you
SnortAKnifeIntoMyBrain
I breathe it in, in the hopes it will finally fucking kill me already.
m3htevas
Are you okay?
simplemusician
I'm glad there are so many courteous smokers here. At the building where I work, I often find them huddled around the only accessible door.
elninjapenguin
I usually try to get away from the door, more about not having to hear people talk. Hell, that's why I started, to be left alone.
vgcodex
I try to be mindful. Unless I'm at a smoking venue I excuse myself to my car
Gwimyeon
Really? I'm waiting for my bus and the air is thick with auto fumes, and yet everyone's glaring at me smoking
DoodlyBecca
Now that I'm pregnant I do. I can't handle that smell :(
ominousdusk
Made me puke when pregnant, still makes me feel ill 5 years later
It gives me massive headaches when I smell it and it's so awful.
andidancedancedance
Same. And my bf smokes :( :( he can't understand how repugnant it makes him. The smell just lingers everywhere..And forever
Awh :( I'm so sorry. I hope he quits before the little one gets there. Or develops lungs and can be damaged :(
I breathe through my mouth at all times near him.. And I'm already out of breath as it is so I want to nose breathe but..you know.
robkyky
keep holding it.
Slowpool
Yes, but I don't make an obnoxious show of it. I'm basically a saint, I know.
usercide
I only do this when I have to walk through the perfume/cologne section in large department stores.
Mavgurian
Invest in cheap zippos and throw one in before entering.
IratetheD
my nose goes crazy... ugh so stinky
bigblindguy
When someone who uses way too much stinkspray is in an elevator right before you...

CyraxFDS
If I didn't see this, I would have been so disappointed +1
skygodess
I try to avoid stores with those.
Me too. Instant headache.
lysithean
They're the worst! Glad I'm not the only one
Marsmallowmancer
I actually like the smell of cigarette smoke, to be honest.
grumpyshortwoman
Me too. But then I also like the smell of petrol and diesel. I like bad smells, it's weird.
With that said, I hold my breath to cigarette smoke all the time as I know it's harmful.
Notcreativeenoughforthisbutohwellwhocares
Yes because i have cystic fibrosis
FantasticFunk
Well, as a smoker I hold my breath when ppl pass me while I'm smoking. So I guess vise versa?
TheGrumpest
I mean they'll still smell it from your cig, but better than nothing.
ahoney002
Same. If they're walking by, I usually hold on the exhale until they have passed
cantcodewell
Thank you both. I don't want to impede on anyone's right to smoke, but it pisses me off when smokers post up next to a door i have to. . .
Walk through.
That I completely understand. The designated area I have to stick to is off the major walkway and far from the entrance.
Slipp0
Just walk through the damn door... It's not the fuckin plague.
TheNameIWantedWasntAvailable
Seems your problem is less with smokers than it is with assholes...
You're not wrong
Airebeam
It's not really a big deal, man. It'll be over in two seconds.
It's less of a big deal to smoke somewhere else.
IHaveASiriusCyberneticsCorporationGenuinePeoplePersonality
As a smoker, I find it funny when while outside, 15 feet away, people wave their hands like it's going to help. Or when vapors complain at
spookyactionatadistance
That I don't get. Specially when they are in line for a big ass diesel bus on a busy city street.
davebeastly
It dos work it wafts the smell away you'd be surprised how strong the smell of cigarette smoke is to a non-smoker.
Keiliana
Sometimes people are jerks at my jobs and smoke outside the smoking area and will stand right on the path to enter the building. Ew
zombiekiller0
If I can smell it you are too close to me
Jennystud
Then step back.
As a smoker I too also find it amusing. Acting like a fool doesn't make me feel bad. I'm outside, go away.
IAlwaysUpvoteRickAndMorty
As long as you're in a smoking area fine. If you're right in front of a door or walking through a crowd of people fuck off.
I'm outside. As long as I abide area rules ie not in front of the door or not in no smoking areas I'll smoke where I want.
itsallsomoist
As a smoker, I try to be considerate of non smokers. But let's face it, most of the stuff people eat, drink and inhale on the daily is worse
SomeCrazyNerd
You realize they put ammonia in cigarattes? Like literal poison? I eat pretty good food it doesn't have ammonia in it.
BiggestofBears
But that's not true? Like, even a little bit true.
Monsterthing
Agree.
Flyndaran
The vast majority of cancers in western nations is directly caused by tobacco. You can go fuck your ignorant self.
Sure thing buddy
I never said cigarettes aren't bad. But the stuff we are subjected to everyday is as bad if not worse. I worded my original statement poorly
shitonaduck
Completely agree, exhaust fumes are the absolute worst, yet people accept it. And don't get me started on processed food's ingredients..
Mysteriostache
So if (big IF) people are being subjected to poisons daily that some how makes it ok to subject them to more? No, no it does not.
flummoxed0709
Don't sweat it, they're paranoid. Second hand smoke that far away is just silly. Like someone who cares about gmos
I'm hyper sensitive to it. I can barely be around people hours after they've smoked without my body reacting to it.
Same. And I grew up in a chain smokers house :( now I'm pregnant so it's super duper heightened. My bf smokes outside but i can still smell
It hours after he has smoked and the smell lingers in the room after he leaves. He doesn't understand how foul he smells. It's God awful
Lousy bastards thinking they deserve cancer free air. Greedy.
adrizen
Fuck you, respectfully. Smoking is rude in you are outside where passersby may smell it. Even 15 feet away. You can't push that on others
Well, since you said it with so much respect.
From a former smoker
False. If I'm outside and not in a "no smoking" area I'll light up 37 at once if I damn well please.
PilotPirx
So you don't own use car?
I don't get where you're going
At all
c0nfusi0nbear
In that same right you can't push the other way so you comment is null invoid
yourcommentisstupid
Null and void*
No it's not, everyone is entitled to breathe in cigarette-free air. You're the only one that should be exposed. I don't fart in your face.
But you do fart, and sometimes you subject others to it. Granted, I can control my smoking. But outside, with lots of room and plenty of oth
other, worse pollutants in the air, my 2nd hand smoke 15-20 feet away, downwind, is the least of your concerns. https://xkcd.com/1732/
I see your point. But farting's natural. Inhaling burning carbon and other chemicals is not.
Turdf3rguson223
If I'm not in an enclosed area, then eat a dick... respectfully.
dixiemom1
So quit walking towards it
I can smell smoke from the car driving in front of me. Sometimes it's unavoidable.
the smoke pit. Uh, hello? It's a smoke pit. Deal with it.
That said, I'm not an ass about it, I move downwind, and try not to smoke in crowded areas. Bars and casinos excluded because holy hell, I
Don't need to. Just taking a lung full is usuall enough.
nakedturtle
Military background by chance?
Yeah, if the smoke pit reference didn't give it away, the rest of my comments probably do. ;)
GammaRaven
I did the same thing when I used to smoke.
I try to be polite about bit and stay in the designated area and downwind. But it pisses me off when people a ways off fake cough as soon 1
as they see a lit cigarette. Usually these people are upwind and are totally fine until they spot it. 2
ItTastesLikePurple
I instinctively cough at the smell of cigarette smoke, and I don't want to look like that jerk who coughs in front of smokers to shame them.
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
You're nicer than me. I run around my downtown hospital system a lot, and it's littered with smokers outside. I just cough to be an ass.
ratfaceddog
Sounds like you're succeeding.
GoogleFucker
I do too, and I know what you mean about not wanting to come off as a jerk. But I can't take that smell!
BiliboyJenkins
I'm that jerk, and not ashamed of it. It legit makes me cough, and I'm fine with them knowing it.
AbidiAbida
Should do it also on the weed smokers. Try going to a Giants game and not smelling weeds around the stadium.
aspookyghostcoveredmeinectoplasm
The worst kind are the ones that come up to you and cough. That's pretty fucking cruel isn't it? Do you go up to cripples and dance too?
vois
Yeah, only jerks shame people who try to poison them.
-Bill Hicks
13thDukeofWybourne
Seems like nor everybody got the joke
Not exactly a valid comparison. Cripples didn't choose to be crippled and don't give everyone around them a risk of lung cancer.
eversoft
When you're more worried about looking rude than 2nd hand smoke, I think it's time to cough it out.
jjm152
People focus on the strangest shit. There are more carcinogens in your average street than a puff of second hand smoke.
I don't think I'm going to get serious effects from second-hand smoke if I'm just quickly passing by a total stranger for a few seconds.
You won't. There's more carcinogens in the exhaust of passing traffic.
Depends on how often you're around it. Probably not, but it doesn't hurt to avoid.
Probably not but my main point was to do what's best for you
60375201
U don't get cancer from a couple inhales of second hand smoke u no that's not how it works right
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
You're not even close to 140 characters.
I never said they'd get cancer - you breathe in 2nd hand smoke even if it's just a couple inhales - that is how it works sadly.
bowman762
I cough, loudly.
fleethead
Cough and stare into their soul
sharkba1t
That's a sure way to get smoke blown straight into your face.
If they assault you, then you can defend yourself. My g-father died from lung cancer and that shit's not funny.
doesn't give you the right to be a cunt. If their in a public place their legally allowed to smoke then its a you problem. If their 1/3
intentionally being a dick about it fair enough (or smoking somewhere moronic like indoors). Personally I try to minimize any exposure 2/3

Every time someone does this to me I always make point of saying "Are you okay? You should stop smoking" to make them mad af
monet108
Its okay to cough and shame us. We think you look ridiculous when we are all sitting by a parking lot. My smoke ain't as bad as car exhaust.
You don't huff car exhaust, it doesn't stink as much, and it's not as potent.
taylorisnotacat
as it happens, multiple things can be bad at once
Snowf1ake
And just because one thing is bad, that doesn't mean another thing can't be bad as well.
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Nah. Fuck smokers who smoke around others who don't. Everyone has the right to poison themselves as they see fit but don't impact others.
Are you chained to them?
No. but if they are by a building entrance or on a public sidewalk, their addiction doesn't trump other people's health/reasonable comfort.
My housemate goes outside to smoke every single time no matter the weather. I hate tobacco, but have to admire her will in that regard.
[deleted]
whiskeyzombie
I think the common courtesy is more common than you think, I don't know a single smoker that doesn't move or put it out around kids or-
non smokers.
TimeToFinallyChangeMyUserName
Does anyone inhale on purpose because they cannot afford cigarettes? Yeah, me neither.
IDontKnowHowToHuman
Sherlock Holmes, sort of.
Freedmin
I really like the smell for some reason. Don't like smoking tho
aguacatedeldiablo
I smoked barely enough to develop a taste for it, so yeah, I take a good whiff. Strange how perception changes.
Thank you,. As a former smoker, the passerby will do nothing against your lungs compared to smoking like a smoker smokes.
WardSharlow
There are towns around here that have essentially banned smoking entirely. Cars are still fine, though.

Hey, I love to smoke. I would smoke like a chimney if it weren't for that whole "kill you slowly and keep you from people you love" thing.

GilderoyPopDropNLockart
I love to smoke when I drink, and I drink a lot, but smoking prevents me from exercising and I don't want to be a fat fuck.
acme64
but the drinking doesnt?
Naw
No I can work out after I drink, but I struggle so goddamn hard after I smoke a pack.
PoisonInJest
As a smoker I try to stay downwind and hold my cigarette up around children. Common courtesy guys, super simple stuff.
KillerDuckasaurus
Krakencrotch
Word, I also try to keep the smoke in if someone passes.
I was always wary around kids. Both for the image it portrays and the minor second hand smoke.
JohnnyTitelips
Someone find the train etiquette thing. You know the one.
beaviswasthecuteone
Yeah. I make a point to stay away from people who don't smoke.
Coreation
The gesture itself is nice, but if there's no hard wind blowing the other way the entire time you're smoking, they're going to inhale it.
Also, in the city, people living in appartments open their windows and it just blows right into their homes. Very, very annoying :/
dbrsong
Just don't smoke around children. You're better than that.
That should be a given.
mcphearless
Good on ya!
Exactly.

aleister94
Me too, unless they give me dirty looks like I'm being rude for smoking even when we're outside and I'm 4 feet away
echo852
So long as it isn't within 4 feet of a door. Laws (depending on where you live, of course) are 20+ feet.
Critterina
Damn right I will give any smoker near me a dirty look. You disgusting people give by-passers cancer and asthma attacks.

goawaypleasethankyou
My friend got cussed out by a lady for smoking in a smokers area. Some people will hate you for it regardless.
this whole hating smokers thing wouldn't bother me if people cared as much about other health risks too like over eating and drinking
Right? I find it so ironic when obese people approach me and tell me off for smoking where I'm allowed to smoke legally.
obese people don't bother me that much but when I see people with obese children I get furious
mmk3637
Appreciate the thought, but it makes little to no difference. It is much more pervasive than smokers realize.
TheThoroughbredOfSinBadHorse
At least we try. Would you rather we make the effort, or blow smoke in your kids' faces on purpose?
Well its a two way street ya shmuk.
And since you'd prefer to see kids inhale your nasty tar and chemicals. Go ahead and go fuck yourself.
Obviously you haven't read my comments. I avoid children and have crossed the street because of kids/pregnant women.
Stinking is a 2 way street?
Courtesy, I do basically all I can to accommodate you. If it bothers you that much.. Walk away .
That's what happens, yes. I have to do it all the time.
shorr
I don't have a choice on bus stops lot of the time. Especially nice when they sit next to you after
Hooliehan
I normally ask if I'm smokeing around people if they mind if I smoke and If possible I don't smoke around children at all
So much this. Also whether you smoke or not I'm going to ask the rules of your car.
Don't make in the car messes up my hair opening the window and its cold and if u don't open the window u can't see
LargeHoman
I thought I was the only one who did this. I always get funny looks when I walk away from crowded areas or kids
ebeightysix
Same, especially when Im wearing my assless chaps.
Different kind of funny look, like they're confused by my actions, not turned on
D'you think it might of been the chaps?
It was probably your ass
One time a guy grabbed his kid and took off on me. I think he thinks I was a flogger for a drive by or something. I don't like phoenix.
Don't know what that means, but I also don't like Phoenix, or anywhere hot

It hurts their safe space.
Lol listen to you blowholes acting like I insulted Mother Theresa. The guy holds his cig up a few inches when there's kids around.
Actually over my head and thaws when they come near me. I'll avoid them to the extent I can.
blackmar
Atleast he's trying fuck man some people don't even give a fuck.
Didn't say he wasn't, but he needs some facts, I'm sure he's old enough to not need smoke blown up his ass.
I mean he could just blow smoke right into a child's face since being cautious of your surroundings gets you nothing.
tigerit13
I'm not your guy pal and 30 ft is stretching it a bit.
SpecimenSpiff
If the wind it right I can smell it from across a 3-lane street, fwiend.
This is why I stay downwind.
Seriously, who cares what you can smell. The world is overly full with self important asshats
The only reason it bothers me is because I used to smoke. It's the smoke that bugs me, not the smoker. Do what ya like.
hedrawsgood
I thought smoking cigarettes was legal?
Legal and disgusting

Eh, it's sadly not all that 'common' these days.
I believe the idea behind the phrase is to be courteous to the people you commonly see. So I would think the frequency of it is standard.
Yeah, I stand by my statement. Not that common. People suck for the most part.
Yeah, but if you expect the best in people you'll find it
sda7
It's not the cigarette, it's your breath that non smokers like me trying to avoid.
AdmJota
I'd say that it's mainly the cigarette.
thisiswhyicanthaveanythingnice
I don't mind smelling a little smoke now and then but when I smell the clothes of someone that does I want to vomit.
Well I am a clean person typically which helps. And being in customer service I've learned to keep gum with me
Evalonne
As a mom, I appreciate it. Had a smoker see me while I was pregnant. He took 1 last puff and put it out before I got to him. Nice gesture :)
zggui
I saw a pregnant women smoking once, got super pissed off when I asked her why she even bothered to stay in the smoking area.
Randersuarus
My brother smokes, whenever we would hangout while I was prego, he refused to be around me till he finished his cig. So sweet (:
Pregnant women as well as infants should get more leeway. I've straight up crossed the street for them before.

Smoker lungs (black lung? Idk)
Common courtesy? Try not smoking in the first place, asshole. You disgusting smokers give people cancer and asthma attacks. I hate you all.
You really don't understand peoples rights do you?
TheHornedKing
They should NOT have the right to give other people cancer, shitlord.
They have the right to smoke. I have the right to hate them for it. Killing themselves AND others with their shitty smoke.
Holding onto hate like that is really unhealthy bro.. Try talking to someone I'm willing to bet there's more to this.
Yeah growing up with a parent constantly blowing smoke in my face might have helped. Also, just the fact that you know, you are killing ppl.
He or she doesn't understand how addiction works either, apparently.
jammyjarman
When I used to smoke I would make a conscious effort to not exhale my smoke near anyone not smoking, still do even with e-cig
Allhailmidgetgoat
Because you know...Cancer.

I start coughing when a smoker is near me. So they feel bad they are killing the youth....

My SO does this. He's been on ecigs for 8 months and still does it outside too, even at home.
Thank you. Nothing fills me with rage like people who vape as if the lack of nicotine makes having things blown in your face less annoying.

Yeah same here. I always made sure to hide as far away from the general public when I did smoke.

That's just us not trying to be douche bags which we're still categorized under no matter what we inhale, evidently.

Amongst other people who smoke idgaf, but when I walk past mothers with babies or young children I keep it away from them. It's only fair.
gibsonguy77
I always felt awkward smoking around people who weren't. I would make myself uncomfortable trying not to blow smoke in anyone's direction.

You are my hero. I often think smokers could technically do that. I am not silly. Smoking just sucks.

(1/2) one thing i simply can not tolerate is smokers who think its funny to blow it in your face. glad to see there are people who
(2/2) consciously make an effort to not do this
XanderCross33
That's exactly what I do. Don't exhale, hide the smoke behind my back. Also don't smoke in high traffic area. Or try anyway.

We get it, you vape :)

No no no, thank you!
BigBitchTyrone
No u
I insist
Nize426
As a smoker, don't thank them. The act of smoking while walking isn't courteous, even if they're trying to shield the smoke from you. 1/2
If they actually cared, they wouldn't be smoking while walking in the first place. 2/2
You can downvote me, but as a smoker, I know there's no legitimate reason anyone should be smoking and walking. Be responsible people.
It's kind of like taking a dump in public. Just because you avoid shitting on people doesnt mean you should be doing it.
Bisright
They shouldn't be allowed to live. Damn smokers. At least we can be rest assured that when they die they will burn in hell.
SSlack
You're a kind person.
funkymonkeybutt
Same. I have to say though, I find some people get WAY to offended by the sight of me smoking. Even when Im at a "designated" area. And 1/2
...being very conscious of where the smoke is blowing.
REDS1X
Also a considerate ecig user. Not all who vape are douchebag

Tbh I would rather smell my friends skittles ejuice than cig smoke any day

You would be in a small minority, thank you.
CryingButtholeLicker
A majority really do make an effort not to bother people with their smoke/vapor. I've been in a lot of Facebook groups that talk about this
I hope so but this is not my experience
valravn
Just for that I am going to go though all of your posts and up doot. You are a good human.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
As someone who used to notice smokers doing that: it didn't really work and I could still smell you from 20 yards, but thanks for trying.
bluemeaniesarecoming
And those cunts driving vehicles with internal combustion engines. Assholes.

we dont give a fuck if you smell it or not just that youre not inhaling a cloud of 2nd hand smoke

I mean, you should do that with e-cig anyway since most experts agree that, although bad in a different way than cigarettes, they're still
still as bad.
Look at UK studies where they care about public health more than tax revenue
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/e-cigarettes-around-95-less-harmful-than-tobacco-estimates-landmark-review
even if it's not as bad, it's still not GOOD, and we still don't have long-term studies of the effects from decades of use
Given that studies have already concluded that they contain carcinogens at similar levels of regular cigarettes, I think we shouldn't wait
until we've got another generation of lung cancer before we start regulating e-cigs. Especially since they're so popular with young people.
only90skidswillgetthis
"as bad" do you have a source for that?
http://www.lung.org/stop-smoking/smoking-facts/e-cigarettes-and-lung-health.html
Downvoters, please read the links and tell me where it says e-cigs are as bad. Wall of links is not an argument.

I'd give you more but I haven't eaten since noon and it's dinner time. I trust you can use Google as well as I can if you need any more
Some links suggest some risks but none of them claim that they are as bad. Where did I miss that?

Yeah that doesn't actually work, you gotta be at least 20 metres away

Smoked for 13 years. I hated bothering anyone with my habit. Even put out my fag when ordering drive thru so as not to bother the clerks
morgan0073
I used to suck on fags back in the day. Oh are you talking about cigarettes
Hey man, times have changed. They're called "gay" now, and you can't just talk about knocking them out like they're not people too . . . /s
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Or does "putting out" mean sex?
Flamezcat
I work drive thru and i really wish more people were like this
iamstormtroll
You wish more people put their gays out??
????
krissypoojackets
Well ya, smoking during a drive thru transaction Would be fucking rude. That's just having basic manners and an ounce of consideration.
Personally, I find vaping to be more irritating. With most vapers, the cloud is larger and hangs around more, and the smell of the flavor..
However I would much rather my vintage guitar amps to smell of cigarettes and spilt booze
That's fair, I do get shot from my gf about it sometimes, it is certainly better for you and beds in less to your stuff
FlackJacketSnackCracker
If you use an e-cig, you still smoke. There's no "used to."
I very much still addicted to nicotine, and I understand that the e-cig is not ideal, but it is not the same
I say there's a difference. - 1

I would have to agree, I'm in the process of quitting cigarettes now.. but vaping imo has just as much potential health risks if not more.
Your OPINION doesn't matter
No. it's been proven to be 95% safer
SeverusSnake
Can you sauce this? Genuinely interested
Amzterasu
Yep, if I've just inhaled ill wait until im passed people or away from them to exhale.

This and hiding the cigarette from kids.
1stSGTmedic
You should. Children shouldnt take your cigarettes.
wwillia99
Yesterday at the drive through the girl said my e-cig smelled good like bubblegum and I awkwardly told her it was Strawberry/Kiwi.
i mixed brown sugar, apple candy, green apple and vanilla in an e-juice and everyone thought it was chocolate and pear :S
The flavors rarely smell like what they are, I made a great custard/tobacco that my gf said smelled like popcorn
TeenGirlSquad
still gets in our face, but seeing you try makes up for it and we're thankful.
MasterWuu
As a smoker myself, just don't be a douche. It's not that hard to be considerate especially if kids walk by.

KatehasaBlog
Same, I actively move away from people when I'm standing still too
curmudgeon91
Same, I don't tend to smoke when people are around, unless it's other smokers. usually just at home or in the car, and that's it.
I do this to, and stand up wind smoke behind back etc. Until some one does the fake cough. Then I reverse it all and aim for your mouth.
butwhyareyoumeanthough
I actually cough cuz I used to be a smoker. The cough keeps me from gagging. I had to convince myself smoking tasted bad to quit.
ellert0
Yeah no fuck people like you. The cough is far from fake, especially when you feel the burn in your throat long before you smell the smoke.
RangeValley
As someone who usually reacts to it. Stay the fuck away to not get smoke in your face and im pretty sure they can tell if its real or not.
Stay away from it? People smoke everywhere and smoke spreads, am I supposed to avoid public areas? Not going to happen.
BreatheYoBreathe
The fake cough espicially from people who are like "no, I dont mind it at all!" pisses me off. If you mind it, say you do! I'll move away
spoonie
You vape.
DmPunk

That's a good thing to do, when someone blows e-cigarette smoke in my face it's still disgusting to most people

I always had a rule to not smoke around children & elders. I still apologize to people if they get a face full of vapor from my mod.
Affray
I once saw this wankster using a vape pen and every time he exhaled it went right in his son's face who was holding his hand. Douche.
DjangoUnChainedAgain
Ditto. I also do not smoke anywhere that I myself would have considered it a nuisance before I was a smoker all those years ago.
*Vape. I do not smoke anymore thanks to the e-cig

I would rather smell a cigarette than burning koolaid.
Me too.
teestira
The air you exhale from vaping still contains bad stuff but not nearly as bad as cigs
It's not even just that. I try just as much to keep that from being around people who don't want anything to do with that. If I'm in a 1/2
Trafficked area, odds are I'll keep it contained. It's just a few fucks who make a huge deal of themselves. 2/2
Yeah people are just assholes in general
Exactly why I associated with animals.
xRHIN0x
Propylene glycol, glycerin, water, nicotine, and flavorings. That's all it is.
v1nchent
It's still not healthy though. And the pg, vg and water in itself might not be harmful, but the flavours is where you need to watch out 1/2
because those are actual unhealthy chemicals. Not saying it's going to kill you, but it's not as healthy as you think. Source: I vape too :D
helpidontknowmyname
Nicotine causes heart disease. And keeps you addicted.
Waffe
It does, however they found that 1 cigarett equals 30 minute vaping session.. there is noone in the right mind having 30 min sessions..
Theres a study showing that secondary vaping is as dangerours as standing in a hot shower, breathing in the mist. Close to nonexistent. :D
thegrimtrigger
WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Breathing mist?
rosalynne95
I watched a guy blow his vapor right into someone's face. I turned to my sister and loudly said "wow, guys who vape are assholes." His face
Was priceless, but he didn't say a word.
Yaumii
Exactly the same, and when I'm walking pass children I step aside/move/hide the cig so they are as far as possible from it.

I just don't smoke while I walk. It's a side walk, not a smoking area.

This needs one of those "good guy" memes
yes yes it do
What about smokers who don't smoke while they walk. Like responsible smokers.
Very respectable
I was the same way
PullingGoatsOffCliffs
I'm the same way when I smoke a cig and when I vape. Don't want to expose the yungings to it

As on o don't smoke at all anymore :)
When you are sarcastic but everyone thinks you are stupid :P
I don't even get why people need to smoke while walking. I just smoke in smoking areas. Or behind a building if I have to.
DOWNVOTEALLEMOJIS
Well good for you
It's not about me. It's about people thinking it's ok to walk and smoke as long as they attempt to be safe with it.
strengthandhonourff
I cross the street if possible, because as a kid i hated smokers, and i dont want them to think its cool
Axebeard
This, exactly. I also don't take a puff when passing by non-smokers, and step away from children if I have one lit.
As a smoker, I just don't smoke while walking.

My husband is a dick that smokes right up to the door, I tell him not to bit like I said he's a dick.
buggeredifiknow
10 breaths rule is 10 breaths after his last drag and it's put out before he comes in.
Mild opinion, but your husband should have a dick not be one when it comes to smoking. Make a 10 breaths rule. (Source smoker who isn't a D)
I smoke too, but made a habit to put it out before I'm within smelling distance of possible nonsmokers
The smell that they'll complain about it the traces of smoke that you're breathing out. 10 breath rule cuts down on comments.
Respectable smoker nation
gruffgamer
From a non smoker with shitty respiration in general: thank you.
goatslikeme
Dont be a doucher, at least he is mindful and tries. Could he do more? Maybe. But it is a lot better than a lot of smokers.
Nah as far as i'm concerned if you smoke it's your responsibility to be at least 20m away from m's of the public. On a busy street=not ok
As a smoker, I'm with you on that. It's not that difficult to walk from point A to B without smoking.
Better than other smokers, but far worse than smokers who just don't smoke while they walk.
Yeah but that's why I said maybe he could do more. Still better than many. As a smoker myself, i tend to avoid smoking all togetherin public

Clitastrophe
Walking city sidewalks sucks. Smokers all over in front of stores or just leaning on the walls. It fucks me up if I don't notice in time.
Miss the good old days, when they could still smoke inside?
If I'm walking with other people I have to pick up the pace and walk ahead of them or dip to walk a different path and meet back up.
(To avoid a smoker in our path)
Youpassthebutter
I have asthma too but I don't have too. I just do.

It's hard but you can do it! I got an app that tells you how much money you're saving etc, that helped me. Have you tried e-cigs? 1
They weren't a thing when I was quitting but I imagine I would use one if I was quitting now 2
But you have to kill the routine too, like if you're used to having one when you wake up, wait until later to have your first one 3

i heard it was suppose to help. never tried. too afraid of the smoke.
poridge
You can't be around a campfire either? Or walk behind a car?
I contemplate this a lot. I think its a bit of the placebo effect. But I know how strong it is so I don't argue.
I can't do any sort of smoke personally. Nor drive behind old diesel trucks. Chlorine pools & perfume are also no go, for me.
Gomer592
its relative, i was needing an inhaler 2x a week, said fukit and started smoking, turns out running was killing me(not a JK, asthma sucks)
Im not supposed to be around fires or smoke of any kind because my asthma is so bad.
lahdidah
Our neighbors have a fire pit and burn crap wood. Can't go in my backyard in the evening????
gunterleeds
Are......are you asking a question?
Depends on how thick it is, if the wind blows the smoke from a campfire in my face then yeah I'll be dying, cars I'm usually okay with.
So a single cigarette will trigger an asthma attack but faint campfire smoke and you're fine?
Not sure if that was a serious question or you're trying to be an asset but yes that's how it works for many of us.
pretty sure he said the camp smoke does the same thing. as a fellow asthmatic I can agree smoke of any kind is a bitch
My asthma developed when I was younger do to inhaling second hand smoke from my grandmother who's a chain smoker, so yes.
Asthma isn't the same for everyone and different things can trigger it. At least try to do some research before being an ass.
I have asthma. The tar content and smoke output of wood fire is considerably > a single cigarette, like 1000:1. If walking past (1)

I'm outside. As long as I abide area rules ie not in front of the door or not in no smoking areas I'll smoke where I want.
itsallsomoist
As a smoker, I try to be considerate of non smokers. But let's face it, most of the stuff people eat, drink and inhale on the daily is worse
SomeCrazyNerd
You realize they put ammonia in cigarattes? Like literal poison? I eat pretty good food it doesn't have ammonia in it.
BiggestofBears
But that's not true? Like, even a little bit true.
Monsterthing
Agree.
Flyndaran
The vast majority of cancers in western nations is directly caused by tobacco. You can go fuck your ignorant self.
itsallsomoist
Sure thing buddy
itsallsomoist
I never said cigarettes aren't bad. But the stuff we are subjected to everyday is as bad if not worse. I worded my original statement poorly
shitonaduck
Completely agree, exhaust fumes are the absolute worst, yet people accept it. And don't get me started on processed food's ingredients..
Mysteriostache
So if (big IF) people are being subjected to poisons daily that some how makes it ok to subject them to more? No, no it does not.
flummoxed0709
Don't sweat it, they're paranoid. Second hand smoke that far away is just silly. Like someone who cares about gmos
Beruthiel10
I'm hyper sensitive to it. I can barely be around people hours after they've smoked without my body reacting to it.
andidancedancedance
Same. And I grew up in a chain smokers house :( now I'm pregnant so it's super duper heightened. My bf smokes outside but i can still smell
andidancedancedance
It hours after he has smoked and the smell lingers in the room after he leaves. He doesn't understand how foul he smells. It's God awful
Flyndaran
Lousy bastards thinking they deserve cancer free air. Greedy.

Fuck you, respectfully. Smoking is rude in you are outside where passersby may smell it. Even 15 feet away. You can't push that on others

Well, since you said it with so much respect.

False. If I'm outside and not in a "no smoking" area I'll light up 37 at once if I damn well please.

No it's not, everyone is entitled to breathe in cigarette-free air. You're the only one that should be exposed. I don't fart in your face.

the smoke pit. Uh, hello? It's a smoke pit. Deal with it.

That said, I'm not an ass about it, I move downwind, and try not to smoke in crowded areas. Bars and casinos excluded because holy hell, I

as they see a lit cigarette. Usually these people are upwind and are totally fine until they spot it. 2
ItTastesLikePurple
I instinctively cough at the smell of cigarette smoke, and I don't want to look like that jerk who coughs in front of smokers to shame them.
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
You're nicer than me. I run around my downtown hospital system a lot, and it's littered with smokers outside. I just cough to be an ass.
ratfaceddog
Sounds like you're succeeding.
GoogleFucker
I do too, and I know what you mean about not wanting to come off as a jerk. But I can't take that smell!
BiliboyJenkins
I'm that jerk, and not ashamed of it. It legit makes me cough, and I'm fine with them knowing it.
AbidiAbida
Should do it also on the weed smokers. Try going to a Giants game and not smelling weeds around the stadium.
aspookyghostcoveredmeinectoplasm
The worst kind are the ones that come up to you and cough. That's pretty fucking cruel isn't it? Do you go up to cripples and dance too?

When you're more worried about looking rude than 2nd hand smoke, I think it's time to cough it out.
jjm152
People focus on the strangest shit. There are more carcinogens in your average street than a puff of second hand smoke.
ItTastesLikePurple
I don't think I'm going to get serious effects from second-hand smoke if I'm just quickly passing by a total stranger for a few seconds.
jjm152
You won't. There's more carcinogens in the exhaust of passing traffic.
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
Depends on how often you're around it. Probably not, but it doesn't hurt to avoid.
eversoft
Probably not but my main point was to do what's best for you

I never said they'd get cancer - you breathe in 2nd hand smoke even if it's just a couple inhales - that is how it works sadly.

And just because one thing is bad, that doesn't mean another thing can't be bad as well.
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Nah. Fuck smokers who smoke around others who don't. Everyone has the right to poison themselves as they see fit but don't impact others.
ratfaceddog
Are you chained to them?
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
No. but if they are by a building entrance or on a public sidewalk, their addiction doesn't trump other people's health/reasonable comfort.

beaviswasthecuteone
Yeah. I make a point to stay away from people who don't smoke.
Coreation
The gesture itself is nice, but if there's no hard wind blowing the other way the entire time you're smoking, they're going to inhale it.
Coreation
Also, in the city, people living in appartments open their windows and it just blows right into their homes. Very, very annoying :/

obese people don't bother me that much but when I see people with obese children I get furious

Appreciate the thought, but it makes little to no difference. It is much more pervasive than smokers realize.

At least we try. Would you rather we make the effort, or blow smoke in your kids' faces on purpose?

I mean, you should do that with e-cig anyway since most experts agree that, although bad in a different way than cigarettes, they're still
Andalite
still as bad.

Look at UK studies where they care about public health more than tax revenue

taylorisnotacat
even if it's not as bad, it's still not GOOD, and we still don't have long-term studies of the effects from decades of use
Andalite
Given that studies have already concluded that they contain carcinogens at similar levels of regular cigarettes, I think we shouldn't wait
Andalite
until we've got another generation of lung cancer before we start regulating e-cigs. Especially since they're so popular with young people.
only90skidswillgetthis
"as bad" do you have a source for that?

Downvoters, please read the links and tell me where it says e-cigs are as bad. Wall of links is not an argument.

I'd give you more but I haven't eaten since noon and it's dinner time. I trust you can use Google as well as I can if you need any more

Some links suggest some risks but none of them claim that they are as bad. Where did I miss that?
legalisegaymarijuana
Yeah that doesn't actually work, you gotta be at least 20 metres away
Vyrro
Smoked for 13 years. I hated bothering anyone with my habit. Even put out my fag when ordering drive thru so as not to bother the clerks
morgan0073
I used to suck on fags back in the day. Oh are you talking about cigarettes
gibsonguy77
Hey man, times have changed. They're called "gay" now, and you can't just talk about knocking them out like they're not people too . . . /s
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Or does "putting out" mean sex?
Flamezcat
I work drive thru and i really wish more people were like this
iamstormtroll
You wish more people put their gays out??
Flamezcat
????
krissypoojackets
Well ya, smoking during a drive thru transaction Would be fucking rude. That's just having basic manners and an ounce of consideration.
bluemeaniesarecoming
Personally, I find vaping to be more irritating. With most vapers, the cloud is larger and hangs around more, and the smell of the flavor..
jammyjarman
However I would much rather my vintage guitar amps to smell of cigarettes and spilt booze
jammyjarman
That's fair, I do get shot from my gf about it sometimes, it is certainly better for you and beds in less to your stuff
FlackJacketSnackCracker
If you use an e-cig, you still smoke. There's no "used to."
jammyjarman
I very much still addicted to nicotine, and I understand that the e-cig is not ideal, but it is not the same

I say there's a difference. - 1

Sharper506
I would have to agree, I'm in the process of quitting cigarettes now.. but vaping imo has just as much potential health risks if not more.

This and hiding the cigarette from kids.
1stSGTmedic
You should. Children shouldnt take your cigarettes.
wwillia99
Yesterday at the drive through the girl said my e-cig smelled good like bubblegum and I awkwardly told her it was Strawberry/Kiwi.
iWipeMyAssStandingUpHowAboutYou
i mixed brown sugar, apple candy, green apple and vanilla in an e-juice and everyone thought it was chocolate and pear :S
CryingButtholeLicker
The flavors rarely smell like what they are, I made a great custard/tobacco that my gf said smelled like popcorn
TeenGirlSquad
still gets in our face, but seeing you try makes up for it and we're thankful.
MasterWuu
As a smoker myself, just don't be a douche. It's not that hard to be considerate especially if kids walk by.
thrashedbarrier
Ive seen assholes just blow vape clouds in my face for no reason glad youre not one of them
basslyfe
You're the hero the world needs and deserves
ChammyChanga
Now this here is an example of a TRUE nice guy.
KatehasaBlog
Same, I actively move away from people when I'm standing still too
curmudgeon91
Same, I don't tend to smoke when people are around, unless it's other smokers. usually just at home or in the car, and that's it.
sharkba1t
I do this to, and stand up wind smoke behind back etc. Until some one does the fake cough. Then I reverse it all and aim for your mouth.
butwhyareyoumeanthough
I actually cough cuz I used to be a smoker. The cough keeps me from gagging. I had to convince myself smoking tasted bad to quit.
ellert0
Yeah no fuck people like you. The cough is far from fake, especially when you feel the burn in your throat long before you smell the smoke.
RangeValley
As someone who usually reacts to it. Stay the fuck away to not get smoke in your face and im pretty sure they can tell if its real or not.
ellert0
Stay away from it? People smoke everywhere and smoke spreads, am I supposed to avoid public areas? Not going to happen.
BreatheYoBreathe
The fake cough espicially from people who are like "no, I dont mind it at all!" pisses me off. If you mind it, say you do! I'll move away
spoonie
You vape.
DmPunk
If only there were more people like you!
didyoujustassumemyspecies
Wow you're awesome!
Tralakar
I think this is more about the smell that heavy smoker carry. Say what you want about freedom, you guys can end up smelling like shit.
SugarSmack
That's just good manners. And it doesn't go unnoticed.
notanavocado
I have noticed people doing this (seems to be more common in cities). Thanks for being considerate.
imadeethisaccountjustforconfession
That's a good thing to do, when someone blows e-cigarette smoke in my face it's still disgusting to most people
Slepnair
Every once in a while someone walks through a cloud behind me as I walk (though i try to avoid it) and I apologize. usually they likethesmel
SeeTheNumbersTasteTheViolence
Same here. You dont see a heroin addict pumping needles into people. So why should my smoke
Johnny5Aces
Good guy @jammyjarman
IgnoreShiksasGetShekels
I always had a rule to not smoke around children & elders. I still apologize to people if they get a face full of vapor from my mod.
Affray
I once saw this wankster using a vape pen and every time he exhaled it went right in his son's face who was holding his hand. Douche.
DjangoUnChainedAgain
Ditto. I also do not smoke anywhere that I myself would have considered it a nuisance before I was a smoker all those years ago.
DjangoUnChainedAgain
*Vape. I do not smoke anymore thanks to the e-cig

Same, it's not their habit. Cigs smell bad, and vaping has alot more cloud. I do the same around kids.
RepresentativeOfNorway
Thanks!
megabeetus
This is why I hate when people talk about vapers being fags. It replaces something so much more noxious. Still not gonna shotgun anyone.
duhnupac
I assume most vapers are on the ass end of sweaty buttsecks
Sc00ba5teeve
I would rather smell a cigarette than burning koolaid.
TheGrumpest
Me too.
teestira
The air you exhale from vaping still contains bad stuff but not nearly as bad as cigs
megabeetus
It's not even just that. I try just as much to keep that from being around people who don't want anything to do with that. If I'm in a 1/2
megabeetus
Trafficked area, odds are I'll keep it contained. It's just a few fucks who make a huge deal of themselves. 2/2
teestira
Yeah people are just assholes in general
megabeetus
Exactly why I associated with animals.
xRHIN0x
Propylene glycol, glycerin, water, nicotine, and flavorings. That's all it is.
v1nchent
It's still not healthy though. And the pg, vg and water in itself might not be harmful, but the flavours is where you need to watch out 1/2
v1nchent
because those are actual unhealthy chemicals. Not saying it's going to kill you, but it's not as healthy as you think. Source: I vape too :D
helpidontknowmyname
Nicotine causes heart disease. And keeps you addicted.
Waffe
It does, however they found that 1 cigarett equals 30 minute vaping session.. there is noone in the right mind having 30 min sessions..
Waffe
Theres a study showing that secondary vaping is as dangerours as standing in a hot shower, breathing in the mist. Close to nonexistent. :D
thegrimtrigger
WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Waffe
Breathing mist?
rosalynne95
I watched a guy blow his vapor right into someone's face. I turned to my sister and loudly said "wow, guys who vape are assholes." His face
rosalynne95
Was priceless, but he didn't say a word.
Yaumii
Exactly the same, and when I'm walking pass children I step aside/move/hide the cig so they are as far as possible from it.

I scream vape nation before blowing smoke into their eyes

I just don't smoke while I walk. It's a side walk, not a smoking area.

What about smokers who don't smoke while they walk. Like responsible smokers.
DJTrickyM
Very respectable
flummoxed0709
I was the same way
PullingGoatsOffCliffs
I'm the same way when I smoke a cig and when I vape. Don't want to expose the yungings to it
LookintoForever
I'm 6'5" I just blow my smoke up
CaptRealBad
When I smoked I did the same, didn't want to be that guy
Derragur
Was ? What about the children :< monster !
flummoxed0709
As on o don't smoke at all anymore :)
Derragur
When you are sarcastic but everyone thinks you are stupid :P
Nize426
I don't even get why people need to smoke while walking. I just smoke in smoking areas. Or behind a building if I have to.
DOWNVOTEALLEMOJIS
Well good for you
Nize426
It's not about me. It's about people thinking it's ok to walk and smoke as long as they attempt to be safe with it.
strengthandhonourff
I cross the street if possible, because as a kid i hated smokers, and i dont want them to think its cool
Axebeard
This, exactly. I also don't take a puff when passing by non-smokers, and step away from children if I have one lit.
Nize426
As a smoker, I just don't smoke while walking.
Brian0fNazareth
I throw my cigarette at people as i pass them by with my Mustang
blatantAntics
Holy shut I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does this
bigbootybigfoot
My husband is a dick that smokes right up to the door, I tell him not to bit like I said he's a dick.
buggeredifiknow
10 breaths rule is 10 breaths after his last drag and it's put out before he comes in.
buggeredifiknow
Mild opinion, but your husband should have a dick not be one when it comes to smoking. Make a 10 breaths rule. (Source smoker who isn't a D)
bigbootybigfoot
I smoke too, but made a habit to put it out before I'm within smelling distance of possible nonsmokers
buggeredifiknow
The smell that they'll complain about it the traces of smoke that you're breathing out. 10 breath rule cuts down on comments.
emperorzerg
Respectable smoker nation
gruffgamer
From a non smoker with shitty respiration in general: thank you.
legalisegaymarijuana
Yeah that doesn't actually work, you gotta be at least 20 metres away
goatslikeme
Dont be a doucher, at least he is mindful and tries. Could he do more? Maybe. But it is a lot better than a lot of smokers.
legalisegaymarijuana
Nah as far as i'm concerned if you smoke it's your responsibility to be at least 20m away from m's of the public. On a busy street=not ok
Nize426
As a smoker, I'm with you on that. It's not that difficult to walk from point A to B without smoking.
Nize426
Better than other smokers, but far worse than smokers who just don't smoke while they walk.
goatslikeme
Yeah but that's why I said maybe he could do more. Still better than many. As a smoker myself, i tend to avoid smoking all togetherin public
jessiforthewin
Same

I have asthma so I kinda have to
nanyatenyaa
I don't quite have asthma but near enough it's not much of a choice.. which is why I'm against pot.
gyrum
I don't, but I still have to as I am allergic to something in cigs. Can I be part of the club?
ladyatlas777
I've had asthma since I was 8 and I smoked cigs for 21 years. Yes I am complete dumbass. Been smoke free for several years now. Got a kid.
cheeseguy3412
Same here. My sister has a worse reaction than I do, and im sensitive enough to have an issue if I walk by someone that smoked within 48hrs

Same. :[ my dad and brother are smokers. D;
NeeshaSaurusRex
Hey me too! My doctors literally told me to avoid any smokers
Clitastrophe
Walking city sidewalks sucks. Smokers all over in front of stores or just leaning on the walls. It fucks me up if I don't notice in time.
ratfaceddog
Miss the good old days, when they could still smoke inside?

If I'm walking with other people I have to pick up the pace and walk ahead of them or dip to walk a different path and meet back up.

Youpassthebutter
I have asthma too but I don't have too. I just do.
itsprollyfine
Yeah, then can't really breathe the next day. No fun, I always reposition so I'm up wind, if I'm with people smoking.
RingSting
Those fuckers that take one last drag before getting on a bus, and then breath out when inside.

Yes!!! Also the assholes that purposefully blow smoke at your face when they see you try to avoid it/ you mention you have asthma

It's hard but you can do it! I got an app that tells you how much money you're saving etc, that helped me. Have you tried e-cigs? 1
drewbs86
They weren't a thing when I was quitting but I imagine I would use one if I was quitting now 2

But you have to kill the routine too, like if you're used to having one when you wake up, wait until later to have your first one 3

I was told by my doctor that they used to prescribe for asthmatics. Asthma constricts your airways, cigarette smoke actually opens them up.

You can't be around a campfire either? Or walk behind a car?

I contemplate this a lot. I think its a bit of the placebo effect. But I know how strong it is so I don't argue.

I can't do any sort of smoke personally. Nor drive behind old diesel trucks. Chlorine pools & perfume are also no go, for me.

Zarburu
Depends on how thick it is, if the wind blows the smoke from a campfire in my face then yeah I'll be dying, cars I'm usually okay with.
poridge
So a single cigarette will trigger an asthma attack but faint campfire smoke and you're fine?
IAlwaysUpvoteRickAndMorty
Not sure if that was a serious question or you're trying to be an asset but yes that's how it works for many of us.
Kdizzledizzle
pretty sure he said the camp smoke does the same thing. as a fellow asthmatic I can agree smoke of any kind is a bitch
Zarburu
My asthma developed when I was younger do to inhaling second hand smoke from my grandmother who's a chain smoker, so yes.
ImsorryImthinkingaboutcatsagain
Asthma isn't the same for everyone and different things can trigger it. At least try to do some research before being an ass.
poridge
I have asthma. The tar content and smoke output of wood fire is considerably > a single cigarette, like 1000:1. If walking past (1)
