Welp, I went shopping today, and there in the lobby, against every law known to Ceiling Cat and hoomin, was a cigarette smoker, and he had apparently been there for a while. So I held my breath and ran out, but it was already too late and my allergic responses were already kicking in.
I have coughed so much from my lingering cough that I have strained my abdominal muscles and can sit or stand or walk for only limited time, but here I was having to expend muscle strength struggling to breathe in fresh air and cough out stale smoke. Dangnabbit.
If you smoke, please don’t impose that on others. Laws have been passed against public smoking for many healthy reasons. The no-fragrance, fresh air lifestyle (the real stuff from opening windows, not the crap in a can) is a healthy lifestyle. I thank you. Your pets will thank you.
