With all due respect, weren't you the person who said "if someone smokes around me it's outta here?"

Yep...I have two crocodile scars across my chest from breast cancer.

I believe I can ask people not to smoke around me.

Aside from the somewhat bizarre association you've made that breast cancer and smoking might have some relationship... you're perfectly welcome to ask people not to smoke around you. Sometimes.

What you're *not* welcome to do is to insist that people not smoke in places where you are not. You're also not welcome to push this little smoke-free bubble you live in around everywhere and inflict your smokelessness on others just for the fun of it.

You also have a completely free choice not to go places where people might be smoking.

Well, you're in luck about one thing, the third article I was going to post was from The Onion. Apparently that's a no-no here. I'm wondering, can I at least post the link to the article on a thread or is that against the rules too?

What does breast cancer have to do with smoking?
