NO SMOKING! The more and more time I spend downtown Toronto (especially), I realize just how much I hate the act and smell of smoking. And what's really annoying is that too great a percentage of population at OCAD (my school) enjoy it as a hobby or whatever, so whenever I'm going through an entrance or exit I get a face full of eau de cancer. I've even tried holding my breath and rushing through but I really don't like doing that. The worst was when we had that fire drill/ false alarm last year and we were all huddled in thick packs on sidewalks.
Sure on most cases it looks cool, that I will admit. Like for example one time when I was at my (former) workplace about five or six of the staff were out in the back on their break. There was great lighting in the sky, everyone had on these dark coats and trenches looking sorta tough-like and the were puffing away -I really wish I had a camera to capture the moment. But I digress.
It does look cool, but it reeks and I hear it does/ can do awful things to your health. And not just to your health but the people around the smokers like, me. Go google second hand smoke aka. "passive smoking". As far as I know there is no such thing as 'passive drinking' or 'passive rough/kinky sex'. And yes, we already know that everything in large quantities or sans moderation is bad and just might kill you. Go google drunk driving, self-asphyxiation, or "Super Size Me".
