smug around smokers.

I just think the person who's given up, as opposed to the lifelong non-smoker like me, has a better case to make against the diehard idiots who stand on their 'rights' - a better chance to get the message across.

ah, I see. I don't personally seek to control the smoking habits of others, though I do wish my mum and sister would give up.

You would do yourself a favour if you did - persuade them, that is. Having the people around you giving up, alongside your effort ... every little helps. And of course the passive smoking! Don't imagine for a moment that I was being completely altruistic in my attitude - or patronising!
