Questions for those of you who smoke cigarettes.
What made you start?
Why do you continue?
Do you care how it affects others?
Do you continue to smoke when you have respiratory problems caused by a cold or something along those lines?
In case you're interested, this is why I'm asking:
If I'm sitting in traffic and the person 3 cars ahead of me is smoking, with their window up, I can still smell it.
I've had a cough for about a month now which makes me even more aware of the smokers around me, whether they are smoking at the time or not. While Christmas shopping, I encountered MANY people standing directly outside of the stores puffing away. As a non-smoker, I find this beyond rude and I can't help but wonder if the average smoker is oblivious to how their habit impacts people like me.
Just curious.
