Reply #110: That's ok, you have smokin' soul sister here

I have always been super conscious of not bothering people with my smoke, too. I don't even smoke in my car or in my own house, let alone others'. I am not proud of my smoking habit and try to avoid smoking around people - I have even tried to hide it from family members for MANY years... It was great to be able to go to a bar and smoke with others who smoke and not feel guilty or ashamed... Thank goodness there are still plenty of states and cities within states that haven't gone off the deep end and where we can still be left alone. The hostility towards smokers really is cruel and out of proportion to the threat to non-smokers.
