Smoking is retarded. Huffing is where it's at.

I think my crack dealer smokes. I'll have to ask him what cigarettes are like next time I see him.

Funny how smokers seem to be as offended by non-smokers reactions to their habit as non-smokers are by breathing in harmful addictive substances against their will.

I think that if someone is smoking where a non-smoker wants to be, the non-smoker doesn't want to breathe in the smoke but they also don't want to leave, thus giving up and letting the smoker "win". The ideal solution is to persuade the smoker to leave or stop smoking temporarily, thus the non-subtle walking-up-and-coughing.

That's my theory on the psychology of that phenomenon.

The solution is a cigarette in your eye.

Seriously though, I was joking before. Obviously having smoke blown in your face when you're a non-smokey sucks. Being a non-smoker (save for a cigar on rare occasions) I dislike it as well. Non-smokers tend to regard this above other annoyances though like people drinking and ramming things, kids not being attended to and annoying the piss out of you.. etc. People just seem to get so self-rightious about it, like they're better than the smokers. Second hand smoke is bad for you... but so is the air outside anyway. Second hand does give you cancer, but not from having some guy sit next to you at a restaurant. Prolonged exposure *might* give you cancer.

And yeah.. having him leave or put it out would solve it.. Or the non-smoker could just deal with it for a few minutes.
