I had no idea the effect my behavior was having on others. It seems I missed it all. In years past, there was – apparently – a constant stream of nonsmokers in distress about me; some with blood streaming from their smoke-affected eyes, others semi-conscious, and still others collapsed on the ground, clutching at<br />their throats, gasping for air. In restaurants, there was – apparently - a<br />steady stream of nonsmokers sending their meals back to the kitchen, either unable to see the plate in front of them due to the thick tobacco smoke that had engulfed them and/or unable to savor food due to smoke-affected taste-buds. This was – apparently – going on about me all the time. I missed it all for decades and decades. One would have thought that I would have tripped over a fallen body here and there that might have aroused my suspicion. But I must have been “lucky”, getting through it all upright. There were – apparently – scores of nonsmokers that would leave venues screaming hysterically, tobacco smoke wafting from their hair, clothes and skin, attempting to locate the nearest dry-cleaner/shower to remove the “magical mist” lest their quality of life be utterly destroyed. I had no idea.<br /><br /> Apparently, children have been the great victims. I never noticed while smoking in a car with children passengers that the little folk had become paralyzed; I never noticed that they had turned blue from the toxic<br />cloud of tobacco smoke that had somehow settled, defying the laws of physics, specifically around their heads….. well, that’s if their faces were visible at all through the static wall of smoke. Apparently, if I had only looked more carefully I would have noticed the long queue at hospital emergency wards of selfish smoking parents presenting their limp-bodied children – straight from the car to gurney - for intensive care….. a consequence of smoking in the car with the little tykes present: “Doctor, I smoked in the car. Please help my child”. I must admit, I missed it.<br /><br /> And apparently, as I smoked in people’s homes, shortly thereafter the paint would begin to peel from the walls, the carpet would disintegrate, goldfish would go belly-up, cats and dogs would lose their hair, and the electricity supply would become inconsistent with occasional sparks from electrical appliances. If I walked down the street smoking a cigarette, apparently plants would wither and the pavement crack, leaving a Moonscape in<br />my wake. I really had no idea.<br /><br /> A thank-you to antismokers for pointing out my “selfishness” and the world according to antismokers.<br /><br /> <b>Puhhhh-leeeez!!</b>What the....noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-34409681688144092572014-02-02T00:17:17.530+00:002014-02-02T00:17:17.530+00:00I averted my eyes, and will not post them on our v...I averted my eyes, and will not post them on our vaping forum.Glenn Sheerinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-6377944986526145732014-02-01T17:13:00.691+00:002014-02-01T17:13:00.691+00:00Hah!
