I used to smoke a pack/day. Sure it sucks not getting to smoke for 10 hours, but it's seriously not like they're going to die. It doesn't hurt them, they just need to get their shit together and take a little bit of responsibilty for their dumb habbits. My view on this hasn't changed since I smoked.
Smokers can be some of the most inconsiderate, self centered douche bags in this world. I thought so too when I was a smoker. You know what sucks when you're dying for a smoke in an area where it's either prohibed, or just plain fucking rude? Smelling some douche nozzle's cigarette. It makes the need 10 times worse.
My solution is to not accomodate the addicts. They chose to smoke, they can choose to stop if they actually want to.
As someone allergic to it, my main gripe is "Oh its not that noticeable!" And I'm like "But it IS, just because you have no sense of smell doesn't mean I don't!!" It reeks and makes me so nausea feeling.
