[quote=Anonymous]My neighbor across the street has a daughter about 6 months older than my daughter. We are new to the neighborhood and have met the neighbor a few times and talk in the yards or whatnot but have never spent a lot of time around each other. 
Well, the times we see them most often are when they are out on their front porch smoking. 
I DETEST smoking. I hate being on an elevator with a smoker. I'm super sensitive to it and it incenses me. It's all I can do not to go off on people for smoking near me or my child. My mother smokes and we avoid being around her most of the time. When we visit her, we make sure it is in a public, non-smoking place like a restaurant so that she can't smoke around us. She still reeks from smoking in her car. 
I just feel like smokers must not respect themselves and I have trouble respecting people who choose to poison themselves and blow poison into the air for others to breathe. 
Anyway, aside from the smoking thing, I like my neighbor. I'm just not sure how to get past the smoking thing. They smoke on their porch instead of in their house, which I can at least respect that they don't smoke around their child. But still. 
So, how do I deal with this? [/quote]
