I don\u2019t smoke. I don\u2019t like being around smokers. I dislike the smell of cigarette smoke blowing in my face as I happen to walk past someone. I really don\u2019t like being next to a smoker who reeks of stale tobacco smoke. Saying all that, if you want to suck in smoke, go right ahead. It\u2019s your body, feel free to wreck it. The problem here is that there are always people who don\u2019t like something and then say \u201cThere ought to be a law!\u201d Here is what some totalitarian idiot wants to do from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fox5ny.com\/news\/nyc-considers-making-walking-and-smoking-illegal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Fox 5 NYC<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>If you don&#8217;t smoke and you find yourself walking behind someone who does, it can be unpleasant.
