Former smokers are the worst anti-smokers, yes.
Never smoked a day in my life, but unfortunately live with a long time smoker.. The BVI technically has a non smoking law in public places, I think?? ...which includes beaches?

Subaqua said: I wonder if most people like me who once smoked but no longer (quit 30 years ago) feel like I do? I friggen hate being around smoke! I can smell it from a car ahead of me on the interstate, from other cars at stop lights, from who knows from how far when anywhere downwind. Really bugs me when a smoking area is right outside of a non-smoking building. Fortunately, I can hold my breath a long, long time. Irritates the heck out of me. 2nd hand smoke, it's hateful, to me, anyway. 2nd hand smoke, hateful?

macpete said: Had a lady years ago giving me the stink-eye for firing one up....in CUBA. I was quite a respectable distance from her and aware of wind direction, etc. Politely suggested maybe she should have gone to the DR instead. I looked Cuba up for you. HAVANA TIMES — Cuban authorities are currently working on a new anti-tobacco legislation that will provide the framework for tougher restrictions on smokers.... "In Cuba, smoking is prohibited in enclosed or air-conditioned public places, including offices, theatres, meeting halls, stores, and public transportation, as of February 7. 2005."

Manpot said: Be a rebel..smoke a cigar..in the ladies room..while washing the sand off your feet in the sink.. If you can do that in a yugely classy way while insulting just the right groups at the same time? You could own the ferry and sewers debacles by Christmas. Video or it did not happen by the way.

rusticchisler said: All these "micro-aggressions"... time to head for my "safe space" Don't read so much into the word "hateful". It simply means something disliked, unpleasant, unappealing. Like.. I find cleaning the gutters on the eaves hateful. You'd know if I hated you.. if I said.. I hate you for smoking that cigar. Now that might be some kind of micro-aggression as you call it, but surely, saying "I think second hand smoke is hateful", is far from any kind of aggression. Some folks just have to get over it! Now there, that's some kind of micro-aggression for ya!

When you mentioned Webster I remembered I had a huge New Lexicon Webster's Dictionary of the English Language on the shelf. After reading the webster's meaning that you quoted, I dug it out. I'm guessing they got lazy writing the meaning because in this big hard copy book it goes on to say about "hating to disappoint" and "hating the cold". Oh, how I'd hate to be the one who needs to get to my little safe corner. rackin' up the posts..

betorah said: .... Please think of this when you choose the location where you smoke. That's really the bottom line here. It would be awesome if smokers (cigar, cigarette or weed) would just be considerate of those downwind or nearby on the beach. Everyone is on vacation and wants to enjoy their leisure time. Just be considerate...pretty simple.
