One thing that really gets up my nose is breathing other peoples cigarette smoke against my will. Its about time that smoking in public places was stamped out once and for all.

There is nothing worse than coming home from a bar or club after an evening out and finding that your clothes smell disgusting， because they have been saturated （浸透著） with cigarette smoke.

Cigarette smoke. Im not the only one who is born with this and Im not some born nonsmoker. I just wish that I had a choice whether or not I came home smelling like a dirty ashtray （煙灰缸）.

Another thing that I really hate is walking down the street behind someone smoking a cigarette. Every time they breathe， out comes that cloud of stale smoke and you talk straight into it and aside from crossing over the other side of the street. There is very little you can do about it. It is not a pleasant experience and it is one I could live quite happily without.

I know there are a lot of people in this country that smoke. Ill be willing to bet that someone who are reading this article are fed up with people who dont smoke. They are always harping on （嘮叨） about their “bad habit” and telling them what to do. The simple fact is that smokers are affecting the health of nonsmokers as well as their own.

People die each year just because they have breathed other peoples smoke and that is something we really should be taking seriously. In my opinion a completely ban on smoking in public places is the only way forward.
