Dipped Headlights.

Yes I am. It is impossible to go anywhere public and not be forced to inhale it. I choose not to smoke, yet I walk down the street and have to.

Wrong way to look at it. You should ask the people near if they mind, or go and find a place to inhale it without making others do so.

The people next door smoke drugs. It drifts out the windows and into our house. This happens often. If they smoke it and we are on our patio, we smell and inhale it.

I did that by passing two advanced tests, then spending several years passing that onto others with the IAM. Your method of angrily sounding the horn will have no effect at all.

than the pills.

Yeah, a depressant should be just the thing to counteract depression - I wonder why they haven't tried that.

You don't have the *tiniest* clue what you're talking about, do you?

There is your biggest problem - you put 100% of the blame on the other person. It would be much better to think 'how could I have approached that situation better'.

Sounding the horn will get the other persons attention, helping to reduce the chance of NEEDING to avoid a collision.

In the open air, it's hardly concentrated.

What makes you think the non-smoker has more rights than the smoker?

Don't complain about a free lunch.

Oh god, you're one of THOSE.....

Says who?

than the pills.

Yes I do. You really get depressed when you drink?

If it was them that didn't obey the rights of way at the junction, it's THEIR fault.

I find that it takes too much time to locate and press the horn. I direct all my attention to steering and braking.

than the pills.

Let's start by you telling me what you think "depressed" means in a clinical sense, shall we?

better than the pills.

It's an emotion, it doesn't need a clinical explanation.

Wrong. Yet another individual who seems to think that someone suffering from depression is just a bit pissed off. They're not.

Interesting - what is your description of 'one of those'?

If it worked as you hoped, why all the poor driving?

How could you have approached the situation to make it safer?

Does this not suggest anything to you?

I can almost hear the cogs turning ...

better than the pills.

And doctors treat emotions, do they?

If I walk through "a bit of smoke" I'm in danger of needing hospital treatment soon afterwards. I'm also likely to projectile vomit over the smoker which is probably a plus. Even the reek of the smoker when they walk in from outside having topped off their nicotine levels is sufficient.

And I've put up woth smokers forcing their views, standards and stink on me for almost fifty years. I think it's well past time we had at least an equal period of smokers being forced to conform to what the majority want.

Yes, it's proven to be dangerous to some (but by no means all) of its users. As far as I'm aware there is no proper, scientific, reviewed research that shows it's a danger to anyone else.

No, I'm quite reasonable on the subject. Since putting a cancer stick in one's mouth indicates a death wish, I'd grant them early release by putting a bullet in their heads. Merciful, swift and just.

It would help with global warming and traffic congestion as well, so it's a win all round.

I think you'll find that it's what a minority of whingers want.

HTH.
