Furry101 14: Dealing with smokers
Not all smokers are inconsiderate, but it only takes one to decide it's their right to belch carcinogenic, addictive smoke over everyone else, because obviously their right to not have the stench of old smoke all over their fursuits, clothes, food, skin etc. is less important than some asshole's need to get a fix right here and now, instead of in the designated smoking area.
In which case, it's up to responsible smokers, who get enough flack for the actions of their irresponsible fellows, and anyone else involved to politely remind the chap with the cancer stick that they're not alone and should be considerate of others. Possibly using a broom handle to make the point.

lol. Nice work. I'm a smoker myself, and I've always made sure to be very courteous of others when taking a smoke break. Hell, I've never even had one cig in my home in the 6 years that I've lived here because I don't want it smelling of smoke if my family or somebody visits.
Something that I've had happen, and that's extremely annoying is that me and a friend(or even myself solo) will be enjoying a cigarette in an out of the way place, away from others and some person or group of people will show up and decide that they want to loiter in the same place. Now, I'm talking places that there is no attraction to be at. Then the others will start making the overly exaggerated coughs and comments and other bullshit. That's kind of the flip side of the coin and quite aggravating.

Thankfully smokers are a dying breed... quite literary. I notice their number dwindling over the years. One day they'll be extinct. I just wish they didn't blow their poisonous gasses at me while they still can breath. I don't care if they are proud of slowly killing themselves with every puff, just drag me into their suicide pack.
There are two sides of this. Yes in the picture the smoker was wrong he ignored the signs
As a smoker I try to be considerate. Yes I know its bad for me, yes I know its bad, yes I know smoke bothers people. I do not need you coming over to stage a protest Thats why I am away from doors down wind, out in the open, will otherwise go out of my way to try not to offend a non smoker. If I go to your house I shower first if it really bothers you and/or while I am there will step off your property to smoke and make sure any butts are properly disposed of as not to litter. I can go on...
It irks me even with those steps a nonsmoker will target me, come up to me and or harass me about my habbit when I was clearly nowhere near them, bothering them or in a position that my smoke was affecting them in any way other than they see me smoking. Most of the time if I am away from everyone having a smoke it is because I am trying to take a break to get away from people in the first place.

You should rename it to "Dealing with rude smokers"
Not all are like that, I'm VERY courteous when I'm having myself a smoke. I smoke outside and by myself. Not all smokers are that inconsiderate, it's like saying all furries are 40 year olds who live in their mother's basement. It just depends on the person.

Gah I hate it when someone lights up in a non-smoking area and pretends everyone just needs to deal with it cause as a smoker their right to a nick-fix always overrides a non-smoker's right to breath clean air. It really gets me when their is a smoking area set aside for them so everyone can be happy, they just chose to ignore it. And don't get me started on how many times I had to pick cigarette butts out of the grass or off the sidewalk because someone couldn't use the ashtray attached to the wall. :P
In smoker's defense I have seen them gather in a smoking area then non-smokers wander over and start to hassle them so I guess it goes both ways. I just wish people would learn to do things in the proper place and avoid doing it in the improper places, you shouldn't light up in the headless lounge any more then non-smokers need to hang out in the smoking section.

I've been trying to quit for about a year on and off now, but I consider myself considerate to others when it comes to my filthy addiction.
Hell, I even hide my cigarette when kids are around. The last thing I want to do is pass on my habits to another generation.
Let their parents make that mistake.
