So what you are saying is that you make an effort to avoid standing outside of the odd doorway where people might be smoking. Is that really a hassle for you? Would you otherwise be standing there, if not for the smokers?
It is absurdly simple. So is my habit of not standing where I have no interest in being. I find it to be very effective, so we do have that in common.

Why isn't it relevant? If pollution and the health of your lungs is important, shouldn't you be griping about the big polluters? There was a lot more nasty stuff being pumped out into the air you breath since you started reading this than there was cigarette smoke all day.
