They're not helping.
I had another incident yesterday. I was standing outside my office by the ashtray minding my own business, when some holier-than-thou prick walks by and says "Thank you for sharing your smoke," to which I politely replied, "You're Welcome."
Since I didn't say and do what I really wanted to, I'll say it here. "You know, it's a good thing that nicotine has a calming effect on me, because if it didn't, I'd slit your goddamn throat and fuck your esophagus while you bleed out."
To the vast majority of non-smokers, thank you for being respectful and I will treat you respectfully in kind. To the minority with an axe to grind, we know that not smoking makes you feel superior. Everyone needs something by which to feel special, but you're not fooling anyone but yourself. We know it's bad for us, but we obviously don't care as the immense enjoyment supersedes the potential risk, so kindly STFU. Oh, and BTW the occasional whiff of cigarette smoke isn't going to kill you, despite what you've heard.
