On my computer, the time stamp between your two posts was less than half an hour.
I think you need to keep in mind that lots of people are working right now. In my case (and others, I'm sure), I am here but I go back and forth doing other things and I have been on and off all morning. I just now saw your post, so I am responding.
I was just thinking (last night) about starting a thread on smoking. I know that there is a lot of information out there now but that wasn't the case when I began. In fact, the marketing ploys then were glamour (women) and manliness (men). We were given little candy cigarettes. Primed from childhood to smoke.
Now...I don't know about others but....I am a very strong willed person. I can do anything I set my mind to doing....
except quitting nocotine. I jokingly say that I will never quit quitting. But honestly....I would rather they just make them illegal. I just can't see myself slinking down some alley with "Pssst. Got cigarettes"? I know they are right up the street and I am
addicted.
Rude smokers really irritate me. Like you, I don't smoke inside. Anywhere. Even when I am outside, I go away from others that don't smoke. It really irritates me to go to a public place and the employees are right out front....exposing others, including children to their smoke. I feel the management needs to have an area where they can smoke (if it is to be allowed) where others aren't exposed.
Your friend and her breeder are wrong about the smoke not having an impact on the dogs. It would have to. They have lungs. Period.
Recently I saw what I believe was a grandmother, in her car, windows rolled up....smoking away with three little children in there with her. I was very angry about that. Yep. Some of us are addicted. We smoke. BUT....we don't have to take others down with us. There is no excuse for being like that. Smokers may think they have rights but the rest of the non-smoking world has a right to not smoke...second hand. Any smoker that doesn't believe this is a selfish a$$.
All of this is JMO.
