I hate asses who walk along trailing a spew of foul cigarette smoke behind them - right into the face of others using the sidewalk.


I try to get right in front of them and then do a big eggy fart to even it out.

I think this is ok if only enforced on the crowded Manhattan streets, I don't have a problem with smokers smoking on streets with not a lot of people.

The stench of cigarette smoke is so repulsive. The tobacco companies should be mandated to package cigarettes the way they do in Europe. The images on the boxes are graphic and shows the real life health consequences of smoking.

The main issue is inconsiderate people blowing their cigarette smoke literally into other people's faces, and the problem is even if they try to be considerate, where can you blow your smoke at in crowded areas? The ones who try to be considerate will blow it in the air. It doesn't just disappear. That smoke still hangs in the air for a while, so you're still inhaling that crap one way or another.

It should be against the law to sell some of the unhealthy crap that is considered food out here.
So... you were one of those pushing for a "nanny state" then?
