So as a former smoker (I haven’t smoked in over 2 years. Double majoring was stressful, okay?) I’d like to remind all you current smokers that standing right next to a building’s only entrance, especially like a grocery store, to smoke is inconsiderate and defeats the fucking purpose of going outside to smoke. People have no choice but to walk past you. Go to your car or to the far corner of the building. Even e-cigs. You Thomas the Steam Engine assholes are no better. Away with you.
Also, as a mom-to-be in less than a month, (holy shit, I need to post some stories before then) I’d like to remind smoker family members/friends of those with infants and children that 3rd hand smoke exposure is a thing and has a link to SIDS. This includes any residues or lingering odor.
And let’s be honest: you stink. You probably don’t smell it, because that’s how your olfactory system works. Everyone else, especially a new mom, can smell it, I promise. Don’t think that drenching yourself in body spray is going to help either. If you’re going to visit someone with a new baby, just don’t smoke prior to coming inside the house. Shower/wash your hands, put on fresh clothes, transport yourself, visit, and wait until you’re gone to light up. They don’t want you over long, anyway. You’ll survive an hour or whatever. No one wants their brand new crotch fruit smelling faintly like a dive bar, after you’ve held them. We want them to smell only like crotch fruits for a little while. Be considerate.
