hated it before i started- the smell and being around it- and i've learned that even while i'm addicted to it and have moments where that toke feels like heaven- even so- i still hate the smell, etc... now. being a part of any activity tends to make you immune to the negative effects of it at that particular moment. so i understand how non-smokers feel.

i also feel that we can respect each other's personal choices without being sanctimonious, reactionary, or trampling all over each other's free will.
