I don't understand why its so difficult for smokers to understand that their habit negatively affects other people. I'm not even talking about cancer, since smokers refuse to acknowledge second had smoke does indeed cause cancer. But it would be nice if my throat didn't have to burn or my clothing smell like smoke because a smoker can't walk 20 feet away from a crowd of people to light up. Smokers are very militant about their right to smoke and have no regard for anyone who doesn't want to breathe it in. A smokers addiction shouldn't force their habit on me. With a little common courtesy, a smoker could smoke and a non-smoker could be unaffected.
