Dear stupid people smoking inside the bus shelter:

57. Unfortunately Democrats never do it to Republicans. lol.

But yeah, I hate the whole shaming thing. My parents do that - they are absolutely intolerant of smokers and when they run into one are always mumbling, "Disgusting, what an idiot, so gross, moron" under their breath, as if people can't tell what they are saying. One of my good friends met her husband online and he is a smoker, but she's super happy with him, and first things my parents said, "OMG, how could you marry a smoker, that's DISGUSTING!" I said, "Maybe he's a super nice guy!" and my mom said, "I don't care how nice he is, he clearly is a stupid idiot if he smokes." Nice. They also shame and bully me for being fat, so it's not just smoking. You are right, it's how people think you get things done.

I personally have asthma and dislike walking through a cloud of smoke, but if it's outside, unless it's someone smoking close to a door that has one of those 'no smoking within 15 meters' signs, I don't care. I hold my breath and walk fast, lol. And try not to cough. Cold air does the same thing to me, but living in Canada, I can't really avoid that either. So I deal with it. Not like my parents trying to show their disgust in a passive aggressive manner. If I had to pick between a nice partner who was a smoker or my PA narcissistic parents, I'm pretty sure I know who I'd pick.
