HUH???? First I've heard of this, How long have you been smoking???
The comment at the bottom was inserted into the quote of my post. I assume the tags were just forgotten, because I didn't say that.
Jingleberry, if that was you asking that, maybe you misunderstood? I
don't smoke. The peeve is that secondhand smoke is constantly forced on me by smokers who have a lot of smoke still in their lungs long after they finish their cigarette and continue to exhale it out into the airspace of everyone around them.
Or actually, I guess in that post, the peeve is that smokers think I'm rude for moving away (without fuss) from their carcinogenic pollution of the air I'm breathing.
