Reciprocity

NOPE!

I can understand your angst at this idiot who was clearly baiting you for his own amusement with no regard to your feelings so, I think your actions were not only appropriate but perhaps 'restrained (no punching him in the face?) In general though, as most smokers aren't complete A-holes like your acquaintance was so although I loath smoking as much as anyone, I don't harass smokers in any way. I just tend to try and avoid them where ever possible. I was just like them once and truly didn't realize many offensive issues I was exposing non-smokers to. I was completely shocked and embarrassed the first time I got a whiff from someone walking past me after just finishing a smoke - YUK 🤢 I almost fainted when I realized "THAT WAS ME BACK THE DAY 😱" I was mortified that I had exposed God knows how many people to that stench over all the years I smoked so, that's part of the reason I never engage smokers with any sort of criticism. They don't know any better in many cases. Of course, this is NOTHING like your situation @Cbdave. What happened to you amounted to an unprovoked attack and I would have reacted as you did, or worse, had I been in that situation.

Nope! (Beautiful tree @Cbdave!)

Throwing on my 60,784 not smoked! R.I.P to those who didn't quit soon enough 😞

You know your situation best @MLMR. I believe you also know what we all know which is that smoking is damaging to us in a number of ways so no lectures from me on that. Hope your life and mental health situation improves sooner than later so you can get back to quitting with a high level of passion, which as we all know is required to be successful. Until we see you again, be well!
