Fun Fact:
Cigarette smoke, as well as smoke from burning gasoline, produces volatile compounds that react with your DNA and pulls it apart. There are a few mechanisms to repair this but sometimes it fucks up and starts a fuck up cascade of doom.

I am allergic to cigarettes, and the allergy itself nearly killed my a couple of times. Even if i inhale a fraction of cigarette smoke from few meters away from smoker, i will start to choke, cough, cry and sometimes even faint. Cigarette smoke specifically, as i can stand fine for example near burning wood when cooking something outdoors.

Smoking in public literally needs to be illegal. No I dont care about the implications of this or “where are they gonna smoke then”. I’m sick and tired of having to huff other people’s death smoke.
