Today, I was walking down the street when I had a coughing fit. The next thing I know I'm being pushed about by a group of guys who were smoking, because they thought I was coughing deliberately to send them a message about smoking being bad. FML

Well smoking is bad. And sorry for your situation op

Tell them you thought smoking was making fun of your coughing and then nut punch the bastards.

My friend always cough when she passes people who smoke to send them a message. I agree with that smoking is bad but she does it way to obvious and to some scary people.

Maybe they were smoking marijuana. That was a little too paranoid of them..

Smoking weed in the streets? , also cigarettes and weed smells very differently.

People smoke weed in the street all the time.

You should've gotten the hell out of there! Some smokers are like zombies, man! Besides, with your lungs, the only things you'll be smoking are THEM!! Anyone? No? Okay. *hides under a rock*

I do that. But only when they're standing right by the entrance/exit and I'm trying to walk past with the baby.

Why not politely ask them to move? Yes, they started being inconsiderate by standing near the door, but two wrongs don't make a right. Maybe if someone is polite about asking them to move, they will remember that the next time they light up in public and stand away from a path. Even if you only get through to one it makes the world a but better by making changes through niceness.

there is actually laws about smoking within a certain distance of any public entance to a building depending on your location. in Pheonix, AZ i think it was 100 ft unless it was a designated smoking area, and 500 ft of any school grounds unless your on your own property.

you know whats great about smokers? you can ridicule them and its socially acceptable
