See, this is what smokers don't get.

Their addictions overpasses their guilt. So the best thing that you can do is to avoid them as much as possible and try to hold your breath when you pass through them.

At the very least, smokers should have the etiquette or respect to people around them who doesn't smoke.

Only if the government will impose a law about this and will commit to the law they implement. Like really arresting smokers who doesn't follow cigarette related laws. Here in our place we have that, and yes we're very much disciplined with regards to this because our mayor is strict and will really scold you like hell and will humiliate you if you break this law. In some other parts of the Phils that I've been into, the fck as it's too different - people will even blow smoke into your face sideways... eeerrr...

Why don't you fill a spray can with petrol and spray at any disrespectful smoker you pass?

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

Er? Sorry, trying to make sense of your quote, maybe I'm not understanding your phrasing on the statistical probabilities? From Wikipedia:

Quote:
The US Surgeon General, in his 2006 report, estimated that living or working in a place where smoking is permitted increases the non-smokers' risk of developing heart disease by 25–30% and lung cancer by 20–30%.

I'm not getting where 100% and 50% comes from.

Neither is demanding respect from people having habits that you don't like.

It is their version of "being friendly"; everyone has got a different perspective. If you don't agree, either stay away from them, or ask them to respect your wishes out from instead of setting down some "rule" for them to follow.

Your mouth is not made of gold. Neither is it sacred. Ask and you shall receive.

It is calculated from simple arithmetic! Having 5 smokes blowing smoke at you turns lung cancer development into 100% because 5x20%=100%!

Asking nicely and spraying a can full of petrol are two different things

Just keep in mind that rude smokers exist and people bitchin' about smokers are just as legit as people bitchin' about smoking regulations. Both sides generalize and that's natural, humans are built that way.

I can demand if it's in a public area.

I give less to statistics. Knowing that smoking will make you sick is enough. Let's not make it complicated.

I hate cigarette smoke, but nothing beats a good few puffs of top-grade weed (rarely get the chance to smoke that stuff though...make do with the lower quality cheap stuff from time to time). Ahh, Rocky Mountain High...

I tired to smoke many times to know what make it popular and how it feels. I experienced coughing after a few inhales and heavy chest.

After finishing a stick at discovered, my breath was so damn bad, even toothbrush can't removed the smell.
