IN reply to J Jackson. You are confused, because there is no way I, or anyone like me, would stand or walk right at the side of you if someone such as yourself chooses to light up a cigarette.

There are those non-smokers who do this, but not I.

Maybe you can tell me why many, many smokers light up at the side of people like me, at bus stops, or near children and babies? Could it be pure inconsideration and selfishness on their part?

As for do-gooders. I think, because so many people are so inconsiderate to others in so many ways, some members of society feel the need to step in when nothing is being done about it. Not being one myself, though, I am only assuming this is why. Maybe you should ask one!

Finally, I can only praise you for being a considerate smoker. It's a shame there are not more like yourself. If there were, there would be no need for a smoking ban.
