I come from an entire family of smokers..... And I can count out of the 10 or 15 really close friends only 1 doesnt smoke. With that said I feel like I know where they are coming from.

I started smoking myself when I turned 19.... I use to get drunk and found smoking comforting for when I was a drunk and bored. It turned into a pack a day for about 6months. Then I got the worse sinus infection I have ever gotten in my entire life that spread into my lungs to make pneumonia felt like I had one lung that was the size of cellphone, I quit smoking as I lay in the parklot of my work not able to make it to my car. Took me about 2 weeks to just be able to do normal things and about 1 month or more to get back to normal.

I havent had anything like it since... I have had some sinus problems but nothing to it *Knocks on wood* I cant be 100% sure it was the cigerettes, but thats all it took.

Now.... I think every person should have their own right to do whatever they want to themselves. But I can tell when I been hanging out with smokers. Its in my cloths its in my hair, it changes the taste of my food. If I party with my friends I sometimes wake up blowing my nose and smoke filled snot comes out. **** that.

Now with that said.... I realized a long time ago, if i dont allow smoking a decent spot at my house my friend and family dont come over, because they cant smoke comfortable. Which is some bull****, that it controls them that much. They need to make pot legal and people would quit smoking so many damn cigs.

I dont have a point I guess.... Besides I like smokers... but dont like their smoke. Smoking should be done around people that dont mind being around it. Which means other smokers, not me.
