text: The thing is, everyone has to breathe. While smokers are enjoying whatever they're smoking, who should yield the right of way? Should I walk around the clouds of smoke? Are you willing to smoke away from foot traffic? I don't smoke. I don't want to breathe it, I don't want the smell of it lingering on my clothes. I don't smoke pot, either, but boy, I find myself seeking the reeking when I detect it.
