Yeah, I'm a smoker. I've had my share of people glaring at me for daring to smoke. And I'm a considerate smoker. I go at least 20 feet, and usually more, from other people when I smoke. But there is always one non-smoker who glares at me even though there is no possible way that my smoke is reaching them. Even when we're outside. Even when I'm blowing the smoke in the opposite direction of them.
These are probably the same people are the ones who run to the doctor to get antibiotics for the common cold. And use those stupid hand sanitizer "napkins" to wipe off the handles of shopping carts. And stop in the middle of the store to pull out their little bottle of hand sanitizer to rub it on their hands because they touched the shelf.
Why does it bother me when people do these things? Not because they're lowering their own immunity. If they want to have no resistance to diseases, hey, that's up to them.
What bothers me is that super germs are developing that are resistant to antibiotics. And this will affect me. It's considered one of the top three threats to human kind by the World Health Organization. And now we're pumping antibiotics into the food we eat, adding to the problem.
Whether the smoke-glarers and the clean freaks are the same people or not: which is worse: Me smoking and only hurting myself -or- clean freaks who are causing germs that could wipe out humanity?
