To be honest, a lot of people in the metro area I live in, will light up and smoke and breathe the “smoky air” right in the faces of the people nearby, who don’t want to be near, nor smell the smoke… especially at the bus stops, where there is ample space to back up….the smokers will puff and blow and not even move away from those who don’t wish to inhale, and though people complain or try to show that it is unwanted, it goes…. "unnoticed’… – When I was a cigarette smoker, I would try to ask if it was bothering anyone, or at least try to move away from the general crowd when I lit up….
And when you smoke, you don’t notice the odor that it gives off, until you stop smoking for a while… I had to move a family member and their things were loaded with the smoky odor, even a long time after one stops smoking… My wife also has a gift from a family member, who owned a famous collection of “dolls from around the world”.. but upon opening, the smell of smoke permeated the doll through and through…. my wife is asthmatic and also allergic to smoke… it is difficult to even visit some family, as the smoke hits as soon as you open their door, even if it’s been hours long after…. this is why I personally can sympathize with the grumpy old ex-smoker, here… though it is funny how withdrawals are said to make one kinda grumpy, Lol!
…when I was a smoker, I swore that when I quit I would never become one of those people, and I haven’t. I quit over 5 years ago, and I don’t like the smell of it in closed places myself (gives me a headache) but i think that some of the laws going into place now are very extreme (no smoking at all in some parks, etc…) I have a lot of sympathy for smokers now…VERY difficult to quit, gov’t is taking HUGE amounts of taxes from it, and turning you into a pariah for indulging in a perfectly legal activity to boot…
Have some friends who, after they quit smoking went and apologized to everyone for how bad they used to smell when they smoked. Only realized it after they got their sense of smell back.
After my father lost his larynx to cancer he was most unhappy with people who kept blowing their smoke in his face.I just smiled when he griped.He could not believe he had done the same thing to me and others all those years.But he HAD.I still loved him and miss him.

Pope, as the saying is….

How old is this strip? You haven’t been able to smoke in public (thank God) in eons. But, it’s still funny.
