I couldn't agree more that it is pure stupidity and i feel a form of child abuse. As the mommy of 2 asthmatic boys it sickens me to encounter those who have no regard for others. As i administer yet another nebulizer treatment or inhaler to my babies i can't help but be irate to think of those who are so self centered that they dont' even give a second thought to those innocent people(especially children) around them who are being harmed by their "enjoyment".Aubshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07128343996772930458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-59127982500843873442008-05-16T23:33:00.000-04:002008-05-16T23:33:00.000-04:00Anonymous--you're a dumbass. I'll see you on the other end of the ET tube, ok? There's a phenomenon called "cognitive dissonance" where people who are addicted to something will ignore facts, reason, and logic in order to justify the furtherance of their habit. <BR/><BR/>As far as parents smoking in front of their kids...it sickens me. It's irresponsible and shameful that a parent would indulge in their own addiction at the expense of their child's health.keepbreathinghttp://keepbreathing.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-25868415641823634312008-05-16T11:23:00.000-04:002008-05-16T11:23:00.000-04:00I'm an asthmatic who--like 95 percent of those so afflicted--am allergic to dust mites, not smoke. Smoking relaxes my bronchial spasms and virtually cures my condition.<BR/><BR/>Fifty years ago I was surrounded by "stupid" smokers and it never hurt me a bit. That was before Big Pharma set out to outlaw smoking and sell their own drugs at ten prices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-79670800456668689822008-05-16T10:22:00.000-04:002008-05-16T10:22:00.000-04:00I'm so glad you didn't sugarcoat this. SO horrifying to see parents smoking on the playground or especially in their cars with the kids inside--must be even harder to bite your tongue when they're in the ER. Yep, "stupid" pretty much sums it up.Amyhttp://theasthmamom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-4676728367876279992008-05-16T08:32:00.000-04:002008-05-16T08:32:00.000-04:00i agree completely...<BR/><BR/>on my way to school every morning there's the crowd of smoking patients sitting outside next to the street supposedly not on hospital property, and i secretly want to go push them over or kick them or something for being such idiots...frylimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09904347039345253254noreply@blogger.com
