[Q: I am severely allergic to cigarette smoke. being near people who are smoking makes me sick. why is their "right" to smoke more important than my health?]

Oh please. There has never been a proper study showing that people have been able to be allergic to cigarette smoke. You’re supplying misinformation to everyone, including potential smokers who will be too scarred to engage in a perfectly okay hobby.

Not sure why you put “right” like that. Damn straight it is a right.

Even if you didn’t like cigarette smoke, you still benefit massively from non-smoker privilege. Your children won’t be at increased risks of developing obesity, skin rashes etc etc.

Ugh some people.
