I'm not real happy when I've got people smoking around me either, strangely enough. Although, I find that if I smoke at the same time, their smoke is less offensive (a kind of "fight fire with fire" thing). The only non-smokers that bother me are the ones that believe that I shouldn't even be able to smoke outside or in my own house. I believe that there's been some discussion lately on whether people should be allowed to smoke in public parks. I understand that some smokers are truly thoughtless, and will sit and smoke right next to a woman with a young child, so I see some point to that, but it's open air for god's sake!
