It normally takes self-realisation or a strong wake-up call, like a sickness, for a smoker to stop. I used to not mind cigarette smoke but somehow these days, I find it quite unbearable. It's tough sitting beside a smoker lighting up in a mamak's. Oh well, it's a free world, almost..<br /><br />SK, yeah, that's tough - to have cigarette smoke in an aircond place.

Smokers go out of the building to a designated corner to puff away. Shades are also erected for cover. How cool is that?! However, their clothes would wreak of third-hand smoke which you would inhale should you share the same space or elevator with them. Sigh..<br /><br />Bananaz, price is no hindrance to people who can afford it. Good for you to have stopped the habit.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-12464036207403257102009-12-30T13:54:12.789+08:002009-12-30T13:54:12.789+08:00Tekkaus, I don't think that is possible.
