"Smoking's GROSS!" "No YOU'RE gross!"
Over in Customers_Suck, FireyFox makes a post about people who smoke in non-smoking hotel rooms.

Everyone seems to agree that people should request the smoker-friendly rooms and everything's fairly calm.

But then Lintilla brings up her smoke allergy. Druid_Va and Chibi_Vegeta say there's no such thing as an allergy to cigarette smoke.

Witness people down the thread disagreeing. And arguing. And such. That calms down quickly enough until Lord_Snot reveals that smoking is disgusting and disrespectful!

People disagree.

I don't blow my fat all over the smokers so they shouldn't blow their smoke over me.

Possibly my favourite pseudo-sociological comment ever.

Somehow, I manage to keep my fat and my smoke to myself.

If I had a cape and some tights, I could be a super hero.

The shortest definition I've found for allergies is that your body reacts to something non-poisonious (peanuts) as if it was poisonious. Near as I can tell an actaul allergy requires a biological/organic catalyst, mold, pollen, food stuff.

People with no idea about Biology should not, I repeatr NOT be allowed to talk about medicine like they know anything.

Does this person think that noone has ever had a nickel allergy? Metals are not biological/organic!

Okay, multiple choice pop quiz time hotshot. Someone tells you a friend of theirs died from inhaling too much smoke at a party because he was allergic to it. What do you say?

A. "Wow, I didn't know that could happen. Now I do and knowing is half the battle!."
B. "I'm sorry for your loss."
C. "My God, what a terrible way to die. I wonder how many other people have died because of undiagnosed allergies?"
D. "I still don't believe you. LINKPLZ!"

If you answered D, BEECH I KEEL JOO.

y'know, I have zero scientific/google/expert sources, okay? I'm not gonna argue this anymore because it's pointless.

however, I do find it interesting that no one was 'allergic' to cigarette smoke until the 80's when it became trendy to bash smoking and smokers.

it reminds me of the way society treats fat people, like it's okay to denigrate someone because of an issue they have. fucking A, we all have issues of one sort or another, that doesn't make mine better than yours or vice versa.


...


No, fuck you. Seriously, if you don't know anything about allergies? DON'T TALK ABOUT THEM ZOMG.

Gah. I'm slightly allergic to cigarette smoke. It won't seriously hurt me, but it will make me all puffy and itchy and other pleasant stuff. I'm so happy that my city has gone smoke-free in public buildings. It's made my life much nicer.

I'd like to point them to my friend who died of Cystic Fibrosis and couldn't even smell the hint of smoke without going into a long fit of coughing. And my other friend who is allergic to cigarette smoke.

I'm having a really hard time taking someone with the name "Lord Snot" and using that fabulous-yet-ridiculous userpic seriously.

A former roomie was allergic to cigarette smoke. It made one of her eyes swell up. Yeah. This was before I roomed with her, but holy hell, yes you can be allergic to non-organic things.
(by way of annoying personal example, I'm allergic to PABA, an ingredient in some kinds of sunblock. It's fairly common from what I hear. So, uh, yeah.)

The only smokers to whom I send Shooting Rays of Death from my eyes are my father and brother. My brother because he's always smoking in his room (after our mom tells him not to...) and as my room is next to his, the smell wafts over. And there's my dad, and it's my job to give him a hard time. =D He's afraid to smoke around me because he knows I'll go nuclear on his ass, so he's always sneaking outside to smoke. And I catch him a lot of the time and give him a few good wallops on the arm. Yes, we have a very healthy relationship.

But I promise I don't whack people I don't know. Honest. Really!

My cousin Kendall from Indiana is severely allergic and his pancreas explodes when he is exposed to the smoke of Gauloises Blondes and that one evening we went to a bar and there was this group of french tourists and all we ever found of him was his shoes.

1) I am fairly sure an allergy technically requires a histamine reaction, and thus, a lot of "allergies" are technically called just reactions or hypersensitivity.

2) Outside of medical science, nobody fucking cares.

and smoke has no allergens, it's 'clean' in that sense, just like ash.

AGH. Haven't you SEEN the billions of ads showing the effects of cigarette smoke!? If smoke was all the same, then there'd be no difference between wood, cigarette, or pot smoke, dumbass!
