Neighbors ever complain about smoke???

[smokedcaveman]

egad.. the 'bathe in axe' types.. or the older ladies, (Grandfather Hephaestus bless their hearts) who have used the same fragrance for 30 years and can't smell it anymore, and wind up smelling across a whole floor of office buildings.. and it's usually some amazingly cloying (and choking) perfume. or the guy that hops on the elevator that smells like he's been romantic with a pine tree... you kinda want to see if he's got a car air freshener hanging around his neck...

'I don't think anyone has the right to abolish something or demand someone abandon a personal pleasure simply because someone else is annoyed.'

spot on.

Second that-
Years back a new neighbor moved in behind me. On are first meeting he had questioned me about if i was the one queing and my first thought was "here we go, off to a bad start. The only complaint was he wished he knew how to smoke. So after a few weekend sessions he bought a kettle and now smokes on a regular basis. Though we tend to disagree on some things our conversations always come back to bbq for a nice relationship.

Thanks farmer; for the points and compassion. My disease is well managed medically and other than being teathered to an oxygen tank I've learned to live an enjoyable and fulfilling life.

And yessiree caveman... But sometimes it's not even the "bathed in" or used way too much issue...some brands, expensive as well as inexpensive, simply have that effect on me. What I don't/won't do is demand someone remove themselves from my presence or alter their habits to suit my personal issue.
What makes some folks think their personal pleasure is more justified than someone else's is beyond me.

I hate to get into this but it's too good...
As I said in an earlier post I suffer from COPD...Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
I use supplemental oxygen 24/7/365...I use nebulized medication three times a day, use a corticosteroid inhaler twice a day and carry an emergency asthma inhaler with me AT ALL TIMES...I understand better than most about inhaled irritants...that being said...
The smell of burning wood, like a camp fire or fireplace fire, the smell of burning charcoal or the smell of meat smoking has never, ever, never ever bothered me as long as I'm intelligent enough to not stand directly in the smoke plume and breath it in.
What DOES ABSOLUTELY send me into a "take your breath away" coughing fit are certain perfumes, deodorants, soaps and or shampoos. I've been forced to leave offices or buildings, get off elevators, get out of cars and can't ride public transportation sometimes.
There's a huge difference between a smell being unpleasant or annoying and being dangerous and or unhealthy.
I don't think anyone has the right to abolish something or demand someone abandon a personal pleasure simply because someone else is annoyed.

I don't have COPD but I can relate as I have had allergies and asthma since I was a young kid. I agree no comparison. Also a big difference between a smoker and cigarettes as the smoke from a smoker does not have all the added chemicals that cigarettes do.

I know what you mean, I have COPD too, but it's about 7th on my list of Health problems I have.

I got my COPD from 55 years of Smoking Cigarettes, 30 years of sucking in Sawdust, and 20 years of inhaling Paper Dust, but none of it was from inhaling any of the Thin Blue Smoke.

Yeah cigs and crap/dust from working fabrication...welding, grinding etc for 30+ years.
You're right, a lot will trigger difficulty breathing but never the TBS from cooking...in fact sometimes the smells coming from short order grills adversely effect me far more.
