I agree w/ Fastolfe although my feelings are much more emotionally driven then "just" logic.
I lost a step-parent to lung cancer (2 years after he quite). Besides that, however, I have hated cigarettes since I was a child. I used to have an allergic reaction - my face would turn raw and itchy if I were around cigarette smoke. I was approx. 8 years old, and on my first trip to Disney (which was not a smoke free place at the time). A man in line behind me started smoking, and even though my Aunt asked him nicely to put it out becuase it was bothering me, he decided it would be "comical" to blow smoke right in my face. Personally, I felt assaulted, but what could I do. Thankfully, I out grew the allergy, although it still irritates me.
