3000 mile myth

secondhand smoke (another myth)

I don't smoke, but both my parents did while I was growing up. Health risks or not, I really don't like breathing someone else's smoke. Why should I have to close up all my windows because the neighbor decides to light up?

I like to drink beer. I don't bring beer to work and have beer breaks throughout the day. I don't just drop my empties on the ground outside the door of my office building. I don't get beer all over people that happen to be walking by.

Of course, all this is null and void if you start talking MardiGras or Oktoberfest, but that is what you expect going into that environment.

And also, I do occasionally breathe smoke...oil smoke in my 2002.
