People who smoke just don't realize how bad tobacco smoke smells to others, especially those of us who are allergic. And while cigarette smoke is annoying, cigar smoke is unbearable. There's a man who sits on the bench about 10 feet away from the door of the local Starbucks, drinks a coffee and smokes a cigar. I have to hold my breath as I travel from my car into the Starbucks. It's not possible to sit on the beach and hold your breath while someone is smoking. What are the effects? My sinuses go to town and since I now have vertigo connected to sinus problems, it means that I could end up in bed for several days, unable to even turn on my side due to dizziness. Please think of this when you choose the location where you smoke.
