Hoping your allergies have improved by now. Maybe you should just start traveling with a mask in your handbag and if anyone is again ever so rude, just pull it out and pop it on.

You couldn't ever go to a bar and most restaurants were impossible. And finding a workplace without smoke was a huge task. They don't understand why I feel sorry for smokers these days - they don't get a break anywhere. And I suspect that the cigarettes being manufactured today are even more addictive than they used to be. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-66495247904856870572012-10-13T14:53:52.334-07:002012-10-13T14:53:52.334-07:00I am allergic to cigarette smoke too, Beryl.

Smoking while people are eating is beyond rude. Hope your sinus trouble has settled.

(But, like I said, they are so very polite about it. That rude smoker was from New England, transferred to Texas.) I'm proud of you!Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-32045843359458170232012-10-13T01:06:44.482-07:002012-10-13T01:06:44.482-07:00Not sure I follow your logic, Beryl.

I can't actually believe someone was so rude to smoke while you were eating. And it was someone like you, allergic to smoke, who brought it to my attention initially just how dependent I was. This was my first step on the road to stopping.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.com
