Smokers gotta exercise too

First of all, hello again everyone! I know I've been absent from my blog for a while, but I'm back for now.

A couple days this week I went down to our riverfront trail for some exercise. And it never seems to fail that someone comes down there who is a smoker. Of course, that doesn't seem surprising, many people smoke. But what I really, REALLY don't understand is the couple I saw there. They got out of the truck, put their roller blades on, then sat on the bed to have a cigarette before they took off on the trail. Then, when they got back, they did the same thing and smoked AGAIN!

What?! What about this makes ANY sense? It's like eating a triple cheeseburger right before you go in for your liposuction. If you're that addicted to your cigarettes that you smoke right before and after you exercise, you might as well not even bother to exercise. I don't understand why anyone would smoke to begin with, obviously, but this incident was just beyond dumb.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised though. Another time when I was riding my bike there, there was a small group of people taking a break on a bench, having a smoke. That really bothered me. I'm sorry, smoke when you want to, but I do not want to inhale your smoke when my lungs are enjoying the happy air they're getting while I'm breathing in deeply and riding my bike. Maybe it was the same people.
