I can't be around smoke even outdoors when someone passes by me. My asthma acts up and I start wheezing. I am also missing a part of my right lung after my cancer spread so my exposure has to be zero. I grew up around smoke (5 packs a day) so my sensitivity now surprises me.
Five packs a day? I hope that was more than one person.
I have a better question,,, Why is anybody still considering smoking in this day and age, the year 2015? Smoking if anything is so @#*hack#@*! cough 1950's.

Some people just...I don't really know. But they should know how harmful it is, and I think that not as many people smoke these days as opposed to even 20 years ago.
I think the Vietnam War was a major distraction from the government (and society) moving sooner to cut down on smoking. Remember, 1964 was the year the original "surgeon general's warning" was issued, and has been printed on cigarette packs and ads ever since. But there wasn't a "war on cancer" until Nixon launched one in 1971, which kicked off with the dramatic ban on cigarette commercials (they were lucky to have survived the transition to color TV around 1965 in the first place).
its interesting how you have groups of people that don't smoke and groups that do. I never had close friends that smoked. I don't really know how exactly that happened but I appreciate it. I definitely got the feeling that smoking was no longer being seen as cool. but maybe if I was among a group of smoker friends, id see it differently.
hopefully everyone will give up cigarettes and smoke the vapor stuff.

Yeah... and in Colorado, menthol has been overtaken in popularity by something else "green" that gets smoked.
Not that it improved your indoor quality, but at least it wasn't one person. I was wondering how anyone could find the time to smoke five packs of cigarettes.
My father actually did smoke 5 packs a day! I used to be a heavy smoker myself, and 5 packs seems incredible even to me. But if he wasn't asleep, in the shower, or actively putting food in his mouth (at restaurants, he'd light a cigarette the instant he was finished with soup, then salad, and so on), he was smoking. Thus I've been almost unaware of cigarette smoke in the air my whole life, unless it's a very small room with zero ventilation, or (always hated it) a closed car.
