   A isn't going to be hurt by not smoking. B is going to be hurt if A   
   smokes. My take on it is that A should cease smoking.   
      
   Then again, I don't just hate the smell, I break out in coughing fits.   
   Not every time, but often enough. Even out in the open. And it's   
   definitely Not Fun.
