A Major Rant Against Smokers

This week I had duty outside, which doesn't happen often, but whatever, I was there. Anyways, my wife had to come pick up our son, who is in kinder, because I didn't want him standing around on duty with me. She told me that some dude was smoking in the parking lot, and it kind of ticked her off. As a teacher, and someone that spends my career working with children, seeing people smoke around children absolutely pisses me off big time.

My understanding is that it's against the law to smoke on school property, especially elementary school property, and I think this should extend to the parking lot. When I go places, like Wal Mart or something, it so completely and totally pisses me off that people smoke right in front of the entrance that I'm a huge jerk now. I'll flat out tell people to move, so that my kids don't have to breathe their deadly smoke.

Of course, a lot of smokers have this attitude that it's their ethnicity or something, like they're being discriminated. Just because you decided to be a stupid moron and start killing yourself through the stupidest means possible does not give you any rights. I don't want to breathe that s***, and I don't want my kids breathing it either. You have no rights, take your idiotic, stupid, and deadly cigarette smoke and stand on the end of the parking lot and kill yourself there, because I honestly don't want any part of it.

So if you're reading this, and you're a smoker, and you're offended, I really don't care. You have no right to stuff that smoke in the face of people who don't want it, do it at your house, or in your car with the windows rolled up. Of course, when I see people smoking in the car with kids, I feel like they should be booked on child abuse charges. I feel so sorry for kids that have to live with smokers, it's so unfair for them. If you smoke, you smell, and you need to stop doing it in public, it should be a crime everywhere.
