Your first cigaretteTo be honest, inhaling the fumes from some burning leaves isn't the most natural thing in the world.
Tell us about the first time. Where, when, and who were you trying to show off to?
Or, if you've never tried a cigarette, tell us something interesting on the subject of smoking.
Personally, I've never ever smoked a cigarette. Lung damage from pneumonia put me off.

I agree that no-one has the right to just walk up to you and tell you off for smoking; its your body, and as long as you're not making anyone else breathe it in who doesn't want to, it's your business.
I agree that smoking in pubs should be allowed, so long as proper ventilation is provided to make air quality for the staff behind the bar safe for extended periods (same kind of rules as in factories, etc).
BUT I disagree with your assertion that smoker's aren't antisocial. Well, perhaps modify that slightly; inconsiderate. Fag ends littering the ground, standing around outside the office entrance so I have to walk through their clouds on the way in and out (car fumes aren't easily avoided; their smoke is, if they just had some common courtesy and moved to the side a little).
Though, before the ban, they could have had a smoking room, and all that wouldn't be a problem. So really, the ban is to blame, not the smokers.
