>"above being annoyed by the common peasants about you".

This thread is about pet peeves. I'm not saying it should be illegal to smoke in public, I'm just saying that it's really obnoxious. It means you're knowingly bothering other people. At the very least, that's a very selfish way to act. Yeah, life involves a certain amount of irritation. I am expressing irritation at the callous behavior of smokers.

Would you not feel the same? Would you find it aggravating if there was always a crowd of people shrieking horribly outside the restaraunts you go to? Would you not think that the people doing the shrieking are a bunch of jerks? Sure, they have a right to stand there shrieking if they want to, but that doesn't change the fact that it's amazingly inconsiderate.

Again, it's not that I am above being annoyed by others. It's just that I happen to think that knowingly bothering people in public requires a pretty asinine mindset.
