You must read this excellent post in its entirety, but here’s a preview: “If you’re lucky enough to not be around smokers very much, thank the universe for its progress and when you do have an encounter, send good vibes by saying a prayer. Pray for that person’s enlightenment and health. Remember, it’s their choice – be thankful for that, because you have the choice to not smoke. What if it were the other way around?”
