I don't smoke and doesn't bother me. I just let things go. Life is what it is.

When I was growing up, the house was full of ashtrays. The bean bag type, the pedestal type, the glass type with 4 corners to lay your cigarette.
My mother lived on cigarettes and coffee and died of cancer in 1970.
I remember telling someone in the house to "smoke elsewhere" which they found cute and funny since i was a little kid. But I was serious!
People in the movies were always seen smoking and having a drink as soon as they arrived home.

I smoked most of my life and now I enjoy the occasional smell of secondhand smoke.

I hate it when someone nearby is smoking while I'm pumping gas .

I don't do well (with my lungs and throat) when around others who
are smoking. I politely relocate myself to another location..

...and they still have everyone drinnking alcohol the second they walk through the door...
Both my parents smoked.. a pack a day..neither died of cancer....
They didn't smoke anwhere else other than the livingroom, altho' that wasn't good at least there was no smoking in a kitchen or bedrooms...
I remember these type of ashtrays in the house very well...
WE kids had the job of emptying the bottom ashtray... it stunk to high heaven.. and some of the cigarette butts would be stuck in the neck.. and we'd have to use a knitting needle to unblock it...
the red one was the same as the one that sat in our fireplace next to my mother's armchair

We had something like this with a glass ashtray insert. I used to pretend that the glass part was one of those little kid circular rides at an amusement park....and they still have everyone drinnking alcohol the second they walk through the door...

My father was in the Air Force and had a bunch of these ashtrays. Brings back memories.

My dad smoked, and the once cream colored floor length drapes that hung across our backyard slider had turned tan when the time came for me to remodel after my parents died. They had totally changed color after all those years from the cigarette smoke.
And, yes I now dislike being in the way of people who smoke. cough cough

You'd never know it from your avatar. Are you really Joanna Lumley?

Depending on your finances at the price of gasoline, tossing a little of what you are drinking on them to get them to move away from you would be an option if you can afford it.

Smoking was just part of the character I played.

We too had a zillion ashtrays all over the place. Wonder why I started smoking at 14? Finally quit at 70, but when I smell it--and I can suss out a cig from miles away--I love to smell it.

Smoking doesn't bother me as much as cheap perfume and deodorant. My lungs damn near lock up, anytime I hit a mall store that has a cosmetic section, I avoid it like the plague.
I too am an ex-smoker, and I enjoy the smell of smoke. If a doctor told me I had just a couple of months to live I would spend that time smoking! And I agree with disgustedman about cheap perfumes , I'm allergic to most. Some woman seem to bathe in perfume.

I wear perfume most days I could never wear cheap perfume, I would choke on it myself...
I cannot stand the smell of cigarette smoke... even worse if someone blow it directly at me and I swallow it...*ugh*
Strangely I don't mind the smell of pipe smokers as much

Check out this case. A man intentionally blew cigar smoke in another man's face.

Well, there is 2 sides to every story. I grew up with many European smokers so I was already smoking before I smoked if you could imagine. Sure, enough my husband and I started the habit as well. We don't mind being around other folk's smoke. What's funny to us is we had our honeymoon at a place called Monterey, CA. Just down the road was Carmel, CA. The people were so damned uppity in Carmel they would look at us in disgust even if we weren't smoking as we're just plain, down to Earth folks.
Well one day we were on Ocean Ave and were courteous enough to go outside and smoke even though it was still allowed to smoke inside some establishments. The people outside would wave their hands below their noses, look at us as we were just a disgusting people. On purpose we'd blow smoke right in front of them on the pathway just to make them have a cow. The stogies were especially large when it came to blooms of smoke. We reflect and still laugh at the other people's gestures and reactions. You don't like it? Get out of the way.
