I don't even see them as idiots, I was never an idiot just because I smoked - and I don't make that judgement - how can I when I did it for 30+ years myself and didn't want to be treated like that. I just can't stand the smell personally - even the thought of the smell - blah!!
I did, however, stop allowing smoking in my house, car and other areas of my own personal space, and that I am adamant about - but I don't get up and make damn scene and ask to be moved to another place on the planet simply because I quit! But as it pertains to my own space - and I am not a bitch - I just ask that they smoke outside or something - I am still trying to get the smell out of MY space now. lol

good to hear then. quitting cigs is like quitting any other serious habit forming addicitions, success comes from internal sources, not external. Just like alcoholics who "try" to stop but get back on the bottle because someone within x # of feet of them had a cocktail.
not to mention how miserable those sorts of people are to be around.
