I was joking around with him FFS.

No, I haven't had an asthma attack because of someone smoking next to me. Have you ever had someone whine about how she had an asthma attack next to you because you were smoking, as if she couldn't just get up and walk away for a minute if it were actually causing her that much discomfort?

No, I don't think I have had a grandfather die because of smoking. Ever had to listen to someone whine about their dead grandparents and attribute every health problem they ever had to smoking, seemingly oblivious to the fact that people get old and they often begin to have health problems, whether or not they smoke?

Ever seen the wallpaper of someone's house after a few years, regardless of whether or not they smoke? Shit gets dirty. It happens.

Ever had to listen to some arrogant twat tell you that you can't enjoy good food anymore because you smoke, when in reality, you enjoy certain foods just as much as you ever have?

And yes, I have eaten in a restaurant in which smoking was allowed, and I'd like to once again bring up my point about people smoking thirty feet away from you having little to no effect whatsoever. I'd also like to bring up a new point: if you absolutely cannot deal with someone smoking a cigarette at such a distance away from you, to the extent that you feel it's ruining your meal in any way, you are the one with a problem, and you should be the one not sitting in that restaurant, not the smoker.
