Or should A consider that B is being too fussy?              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.              Catja              --       writing blog @ http://beyond-elechan.livejournal.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
