As someone who doesn't smoke, it's awkward to read these articles that assume inevitably of tobacco's influence.

You can quit. We can quit.

Sometimes I run into a group of smokers that I want to be more involved with. When I mention I want to be involved but not breathe pollution, there is usually sympathy and a response that there are others interested in quitting smoking, too. Many organizations are smoke-free, and more organizations would be if more people spoke up to request a non-smoking option.
