[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: Is the DCUM smoker rage just a class signifier/striver issue? Since smoking is perceived as low class these days (though people of every income level do it), I feel like all of the over the top drama, irrationality and hypochondria is really just people trying to scream "I'm not low class." [/quote] No. It makes me sick. I'm not rich and I don't try to convince people that I am, so for me it has nothing to do with that. I get headaches and the smell of smoke makes me nauseous. I probably do come across as irrational about smoking, but if it made you start to feel sick the minute you smelled it you'd probably get upset too. I literally start feeling anxiety when I have to breathe cigarette smoke. My son gets sick from it too. We have several smokers in my family and I can't stand visiting them because they stink. I love them because they are my family, but they stink and I avoid visiting them for very long because their homes stink and I need a shower and I have to wash laundry after coming home. I had everyone to my house for Christmas and the smokers left cups with water and cigarette butts all over my patio. I had no idea. What a gross surprise I discovered while cleaning up after their visit. I'm glad they didn't litter, but they could have gotten rid of the cup of butts. Another reason why I think smokers are selfish and inconsiderate. Leaving that nasty mess for me to clean up after I hosted such a nice party for everyone. And the poor children of the smokers. Every time I hug my nieces & nephews I inhale the stench of stale cigarettes on their clothes and hair. Makes me sad that they don't get to wear clean smelling clothes ever.[/quote]
