that's even more petty than gasphing "we're trying to breath" around a 
smoker, like some old women used to do. Luckily, it seems like smoking as 
a whole is down in the US. kids are too busy with their phones to take up 
smoking, since that sort of ties up one hand. millennial skin and hands 
aren't strong enough to operate a safety lighter anyways. That's why they 
vape fruity stuff like cherry vanilla juice.

I can't say I can tell a smoker from a good old case of whooping cough. 
I'll add that to things to check out on youtube.
