Got Flak for Smoking Outside

yesterday at work.
I was 30 feet down the side of the building having a smoke on my break. Not bothering anyone.
This lady walked down towards me and said. "You should quit you know. I am still breathing in your smoke."
I said "Are you my F.....king mother. What about that diesel truck that is running does that not bother you.
She walked away, I am sure she was proud of herself for her comments. I went back to work madder than hell.
I guess smoking outside is going to be taboo soon as well.
Got back to the lunchroom and some staff were laughing about me going outside in the cold for a smoke.
I told them keep up with me for a day I could out run them all.
Thanks for listening.

My comment to the women who say those comments, (and yes they are mostly women) is that I'll quit when they shed that extra weight they are carrying around. That usually shuts them up.

Good point. You are right they are women mostly, and she was overweight. I am sure it will happen again and I will use that comment.
Thanks for the tip.

Tell her the anger, resentment, and hostility she carries around with her will kill her faster than your second-hand smoke.

You should have told her to quit bothering you during your post-sex cigarette.

Tell her YOUR cigarette tax dollars are supporting HER obesity health care . . . .
They are coming for us - it's only a matter of time.

Well I'm a non smoker as a lot of you know... and I bet it would take ten of you to equal what I've "cost" medically in the last year! 
Tell her you'll smoke here - she can smoke hereafter

I would have understood her comments better if you had been smoking inside; but when you're outside, who cares? I'm a non-smoker and I get bit allergic reaction when there are smokers too close to me, so the quests at my house and at my childhood home will have to smoke outside at all times.

I'm a smoker - so is Brew.
We haven't smoked in our home for many years . . . 16 maybe? It's my addiction and inside I try not to infringe on others (except at Davcon where just breathing the air in the atrium means you're a smoker).
It's 19 degrees F right now (that's -7 C) and I have no problem smoking outside.
Anyone that tells me I can't smoke outside is gonna get hit with both barrels.

I'll go out in any weather without a jacket and my sleeves rolled up for a smoke. (today it was 3 deg. F.) people never bother me when I smoke. I never put it in their face and I am courtious but if some pudding of a woman or man 30 feet away made a comment about it I would probably flick a lit butt at them.

God I hate doing this.
I have to admit Paul is very courteous about smoking, he is completely considerate of me, I've never once had to ask him to move his fag or anything.
Now that hurt. I have to go and wake the kids up so I can wallop them after being that nice

Why thank you Helen. And I never once have complained about you giving me a spotted dick even though I am not that keen on it.

Dave, Dave, Dave...Do we have to send you back for re-programming. The Constitution is a living document which means anything we want as long as it suits our agenda. You are part of "society" now Dave and you no longer have any individual rights. Now, to start your re-programing you must watch 200 hours of CNN, NBC and CBS news, read and re read the editorial page of the NYT, get rid of those horrible nasty evil guns and most of all you WILL enjoy paying taxes! ;-P.

Well Christ Paul...is this what it has come to!?!?!?
I do respect other peoples rights not to breathe smoke...it is their right. Dont want smokers in your house, I wont smoke when visiting...common courtesy you know?
Here is a wonderful new Fascist law passed by the ever-P.C. gov. ROD Blagoveitch ( I even hate his name)
Now, ALL Illinois businesses MUST stop all smoking in the buildings on THEIR property. You cant even put up a small smoking shed anywhere on your property. You can smoke outside 15 foot away from the building...hooray for rights!!!
That is correct, I own a shop, I cant smoke in it. Doesn't matter if all the employees agree to it or if the area in question is restricted to consenting employees only....you must stop...obey our will...we are the Govt. we are here to help you.
No bars are to allow smoking, even if they are private clubs (this one is in question so far)
Lookee here: it is un-Constitutional to tell any private business that it cannot allow legal activities on it's own property. I'm not gonna get into all the long details or Constitutional precedent, I will simply make my statement.
Some will understand and know, others will deny or continue to be ignorant....I don't care.
BTW, this was not ram-RODded thru as "discrimination" law. It clearly isn't a discrimination issue.
It was passed as a "health" issue. The States argument is that all Illinois workers have a right to a smoke free workplace.
Well first of all you Nazi Fascist bastard motards, it is not a "right" it is your choice where you want to work. No one tells you where to work.
If you don't like my smoke, then march your oppressive nanny-state ass outta my place.
If I want a smoking bar, it is my right to have one.
If non-smokers want a bar...start it up dipshit. If it is so "needed" or "wanted" the people will come...y'all can sit around & sniff each others farts...I don't care.
It is true that some obnoxious smokers have caused some of this attitude. The world is full of inconsiderate people, get used to it....unless you want to strip all rights and make everything "fair" for everyone.
As a smoker and a human being, I respect other peoples rights. Considering other peoples wants & needs is a very American attitude...or was at one time.
But stealing away rights serves only to diminish the rights of ALL people.
If I don't stand up for yours, who will stand up for mine?
We have the assiduity to proclaim England a nanny-state or a socialist state....what an ignorant assertion !!!
Better wake up people & take a good look in the mirror before it is too late...or maybe it is.
Sorry for the rant and coarse language. I'm seeing my country die.
Regretfully, Dave

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.

Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I am a smoker, and I always try to be courteous to everybody else. I know it is an awful habit, but when you have to go outside, sometimes in shitty weather you do it. I can understand someone saying something inside----but outside ?!?! That takes alot of balls and I would have told her to do something biologically impossible to herself.
