What I'm saying is that if you're going to post that you have no concern
that the choices you make degrade the air quality of others, if you then
post a few hours later complaining that others are degrading your air
quality, you're a hypocrite. Either everyone has complete freedom to
degrade air quality in whatever way they choose, or everyone has the right
to expect some consideration from those around them in limiting their
behavior so they don't cause problems for everyone else. You can't have it
both ways.
