I'm of two minds about smoking - part of me just thinks it should be illegal. Nothing gets my panties in a knot more than watching little kids in a car with the windows rolle dup, and the parent is smoking away in the front seat. That happened to me as a kid, and I remember how sick it used to make me.
But I also believe that people have rights to do what they want to their own bodies, as long as those rights don't infrings others'. In the end game, this right comes before my annoyance and concerns about second hand smoke - because I don't want anyone to tell me that I must lose weight, can't use excessive garlic on food, or that I need to stop having an occasional glass of wine.
I mean, life is supposed to be fun, too.
(((((Chey and Cobalt))))) - good luck on the quitting journey, and I wish you nothing but the best. I'm sorry that part of your motivation for quitting is this shitty freedom-abridging rule. No one ever said it's fun working in a school, too many rules and too many parents into your private life. Still ~~ we're lucky to have you as a teacher/mentor to students!
