Imaginary 2nd Hand Smoke

[Cigar Cowboy]

I was sitting outside yesterday watching a band on a x-large patio. They allow smoking on this patio. I pulled out a cigar and held it in my hand for a few minutes before I lit up. A woman sitting behind me, told me the smoke was really bothering her and asked me if I could put it out. I showed her that the cigar was not even lit. Then I proceeded to light up and told her that maybe she could image the smoke wasn't bothering her since she has such a good imagination.

Normally I am a very courteous smoker, but I found the situation very annoying.

hahha that's awesome

yep to each their own. We go to a place that allows smoking on the patio, we are usually the first ones out there. When I am asked to put something out I look and tell them they are more than welcome to move inside.

Good job on standing your ground with such a person.

Good for you Cowboy, you are my "Hero for a Day!" :thumbsup:

Agreed! That's pretty good thinking. I've had a few arguments with people over my cigar smoke-mainly in casinos.

Well done Michael. Too many stupid people in this world.

I'm still irritated from several years ago being asked to leave a casino or to put out my cigar. BTW they allowed cigarette smoking, just not cigars.

 

[Hardcore]

Hell ya!

Some people.... lol

...that's some funny chit right there, good for you:thumbsup:

Personally, I find few things in life more irritating other than someone asking me to put out my cigar, specifically when I am in an area that is open to the air and condones smoking ie. park, outdoor pavilion, smoking patio etc. while others in the vicinity go on smoking their cigarettes without bother. I always try my best to take a firm stance on the situation while handling those accosting me in an eloquent and polite manner, its nice to know there are others who take a similar stance on this position as well.

Good Job, I agree with Larry, you are the Hero for the Day!:clap:

I was on a cruise and they had several places inside that allowed cigarettes but not cigars, which really annoyed a number of people.

Way to stand your ground brother:thumbsup:

Hahaha, some people...

Lol funny comeback line bro. Nice job standing your ground. I can't stand when people ask me to put out my cigar in places I'm allowed to smoke. They should go somewhere else, no one is telling them to stand around my smoke!eace:

Yea, that is typical. Two different times in my past;
I was in a bar in Alaska about 10 years ago and there was a thick cloud of cig smoke so I lit up my cigar and after 3 min I was approached by a bouncer who said there was complaints and I had to put it out. I just left.

Five years ago I was in a hotel bar in Norfolk VA and I had to go outside to smoke my cigar but there was a person smoking a pipe an another smoking a cig.........

Related side note. . .

My mother always hated cigar smoke, until the first time I lit up a Cuban with her around. From that point on she always loved the smell of a good cigar. My wife always liked the smell and so it is easy for me to smoke in the house.

My mother's point was that some cigars smell like crap and others do not, regardless of how good we think they smell. It turns out that under interrogation by her son she admitted that she had become reactionary to cigars having grown up around men who smoked cheap cigars that stunk. She never gave the "smell" a chance and only reacted to the action.

I have observed that in modern society it is often the act that appalls people and not the smoke itself. Society has now been conditioned for close to two generations to believe all smoking is bad, whether they even notice the smell or not.
