Non-smokers vs Smokers

Wrote a non-smokers rant and with a fellow user's inputs, realized it should be drafted better as a discussion for the greater good.

1. Passive second-hand smoking is not only harmful but irritating too. There are designated smoking zones in offices but not all smokers exclusively stick to them given the numbers at the tea joints just outside the office buildings. Are smoking zones undersized? Chai n/a? Need wider space?

2. Outside office hours, smoking in public places causes the same problem. When you walk while smoking, the people behind you suffocate. If there're shared balconies or close windows, that smoke makes way into your neighbor's place. If they complain, consider at least changing your smoking place if shifting is not possible for either of you.

3. Use the best possible smell suppressing method, chewing gum or whatever during office hours if you don't have an isolated desk or you have to attend meetings. People feel embarrassed to bluntly call it out. Don't make them suffer.

4. If you have the resources, have you tried to consider quitting? There are Psychiatry/Neurology specialists for this. You, your loved ones and non-smokers all will be grateful.

I tried my best to humbly put the points across. It isn't intended to offend anyone.
