I Do Not Smoke

I never want to offend those who do, but I find smoking absolutely disgusting. The smell is gag worthy, the affects it has is disgusting. It stains walls, clothes, furniture, nails, your teeth. I just absolutely hate it, but I won't hate a person for smoking. To each their own, but I wish they'd also respect others around them. Yes you smoke, but you don't have to blow smoke in my face.

Good one. I know that a lot of people take up smoking from stress. Sorry for them. To them I'd say you don't need a unhealthy thing to improve your health.
I'm unsure (still a noob) if we can directly reply to a comment or not, but 😂
@Riemann - Lots of people start smoking due to peer pressure. I've actually had a lot of people stick cigs in my mouth, blow smoke in my face and constantly ask me if im sure I don't want to smoke. Thank god I never broke, never had! Never will! And then they get addicted and use it as a stress reliever. Then there's others that just straight up like it.

@OurUserName - Ever watched Outsiders? It's a mix between that and Ellie Goulding 😂😂

@bellybuttonfan17 - I completely agree, but it's those who smoke in their homes, it's kind of out of my place to tell them to smoke somewhere else.

I know what you mean ...😖

Living in the UK, I noticed a dramatic change when smoking in enclosed public spaces was banned - some people stopped asking if it was ok to smoke next to me and my children when we were sitting on a bench in the open air, they felt it was their right to smoke where it was legal, and anyone who didn't like it could go inside ...😓

It's not so bad now, and if I'm talking to a friend outside and they light up, I move so I'm not getting it blown in my face, and I stand a little further away! They all know I don't smoke - most of my friends don't smoke either, so I'm mostly ok - but just a couple of my friends do smoke, and they're such lovely people I wouldn't dream of dumping them just because they're human chimneys!!😅

And they don't light up at all if I have one of my kids with me, they're far too considerate!😇 Thankfully ...🙃

You are absolutely well within your rights to ask a person to stop smoking in your presence and go do it elsewhere more privately. Nothing wrong in that.
I cannot stand it too. So I don't let anyone around me smoke.
@Teri99 - lucky, my entire family smokes! But thank god for my baby, they respect that I don't want it around him, so they will limit it to one room, and open the window, keep the door close, etc. Or go outside. So when i have my boy im "safe"!

@bstisapain - I have been lucky to have very respectful friends as well! But I think because everyone around me smokes, they kind of forget that I don't, so I'll have to remind them sometimes to blow the smoke away from me or etc. But again, with my son no one smokes around us!

I hate it too. But luckily nobody in my family smokes but some of my friends have parents that do. Yuck!
