Even though people know the danger of smoking they just cannot or will not quit even if we get that *visual. They(smokers) should at least be more responsible and considerate especially when they are around people who is as intolerant of smoking as me.
I guess i'm guilty for not actually caring about them but rather acting on my pet peeve. But i made it a point to be right on my *rights*. There was this one time I was standing in line waiting for a cab at MOA when this guy stood there in line (next to me smoking) i asked him to kill the smoke but he said i have no right to ask that of him (in a public terminal) he suggested why not ask him to stay somewhere else. Well, I was dumbfounded i don't know what to say (he won and left with his girlfriend in that rain).
If i were a smoker like him I think i will start to wonder why i dont see smoking ads(on tv at least). This is what actually piqued my interest and was surprised to learn that a law actually bans this. But what struck me the most is why i did not know of this earlier. It's hard to say or put the blame on the government for not disseminating info about that law because they are doing their job and people are helping too(like this docu). We just have to give it time and help(even for wrong reasons like mine) in the process of incorporating this in our "culture." I try to be civil, passive aggresive, and aggresive about this topic because there are still guys like him who needs the right reasoning knocked into his head...
That said try to cut ahead people who walk while smoking- show them they your covering your face. or turn and cover when people stink of smoke (esp in an elevator); ask people not to smoke in jeeps, get that computer shop/cafe rethink their smoking policy(i think its wherethe Asian Cybergames Players for DOTA play); and try not to let moments pass-by when helpless people like that guy leave without knowing what your arguments are. I know its not right to keep the hate up but its a place to start >.
