Viajara's Profile

Well it’s just a shame that the cigarette smoke doesn’t know to stay within inches of your face. It’s such a waste to have those perfectly good carcinogens wafting over to the neighbors' place. After all, you paid for them, you deserve to “enjoy” them 100%.

The condo/apartment dwellers in my community actually have it better than those living in a housing tract or development. In my city, the condo/apartment dwellers must leave the complex property to smoke. I wish the same were true for those of us living in residential homes with smoking neighbors. My neighbor used to work at his garage workbench while smoking a cigarette. He didn’t want that annoying smoke in his face, so he used a fan to blow it out of the garage – and into our family room! We complained and he stopped the practice, however whenever he worked outdoors the smoke would waft into my yard. It would irritate my throat and eyes, so I'd be forced to go indoors because of his bad habit.

One month ago, he died a lengthy, horrible death as a result of his lifelong smoking habit. A few days later, the other smoker on my street died at age 58. So dear smoker, do I feel sorry for you? No! Smoking opportunities should be hard to come by. Buying and smoking cigarettes should be a hardship. You are shortening your life and you are selfishly damaging the health of others. Don't get me started on what smokers are doing to the health care system. Don't be so selfish....quit smoking!
