I can't cope with passive smoking I feel like I'm going to choke, can't think, can't function - over reaction?

Question:

Answers:
A little. For the most part try to stay away from smoke, but if you happen to be in someones car who is smoking just ask them if you can role the window down or say you have a cold.
Second hand smoke kills thousands of people every year, but i doubt it kills the people who are around it for , say, an hour a month or something. If you are around it a lot, it is very dangerous to your health. Don't go to resaraunts that allow smoking and let it be known to the manager you feel that way.

definatly

If you have to ask the question then yes indeed it is an over reaction.

Over reaction.

yeah

let me think....mmm.. YES!!

You just don't like the smell, much like I can't stand it when people put tons of perfume/cologne on. Makes me gag.

No you are right. Smoking is for weak & stupid people. Is it true they will soon ban all smoking in London ?

yes, i would sugest you ditch your tv, and stop reading womens magazines, if you are this sugestive.. ps drink coke, it will make you a super star

If you think passive smoking is bad i bet car exhaust fumes really scare you, or hasnt your best mate mentioned that these could kill you far faster

yep.
You've defo been watching too much tv.
Passive smoking is nowhere near as dangerous as the car fumes in a large city, and I'm sure you can walk through the streets without choking.

it is hard for ppl who do smoke to be around ppl who do the next time you go out with friends ask for non-smoking table and when you are out just hanging out ask them nit to smoke they should resspept your right not to smoke no matter where it is.explain why too

You're suffering an asthma attack probably. Just go waving your pump around when you walk anywhere.

And yeah, you are over reacting, smoking is getting banned in most public places, so just relax and chill out, before some one stubs a dog end out on you.

If you can't cope stay away from the smokers and smokey places,, by the way i am a non-smoker & it does'nt bother me.

No. Force smokers away from you!!!

yeah major over reaction

No - not over reaction but I am guessing that you are an ex-smoker. I gave it up 12 years ago and simply cannot abide it now. I look on smokers as if they are mad. But I am preaching with the fervour of the converted! Up here in Scotland there is a total ban in all public buildings, pubs, restaurants, offices, etc., and it is great. The only problem is that the smokers all congregate in doorways so I have to hold my breath to go through the door. There was a lot of fuss at first about pubs thinking they would have no custom, but they are now busier than ever with all the non-smokers who would not go to pubs etc., before because of all the secondhand smoke.

I hate it too, i cant stand people smoking either it drives me mad, especially when your eating how disrespectful is that. seriously dont get me started. it makes your hair, clothes, skin everything smell D I S G U S T I N G. Although i have no probs with them smoking in there own home obvioulsy i just dont like it around me, that goes for pipes, cigars, spliffs, bongs the lot!

Things are getting better.

well how do u manage to go out and about what about all the car fumes?? you have to be around people that smoke thats your choice

I can't either. Have you ever smoked? I think those of us who have are ultra-sensitive afterwards - it worries me far more than it worries my family.
