This should not be so difficult

So today I read an article about a baby's fingernail that almost killed the mother.

I'm pretty good about not worrying over things that are so rare or unlikely to have a bad outcome. Sure, I look up many foods to make sure they're safe and I am avoiding all medications I can. Long story short, I am careful but not crazy.

However, one thing I cannot stand/tolerate is secondhand smoke. I hated it before but I hate it with a passion now. I have zero tolerance for the people who stand in the middle of sidewalks, in doorways, etc and puff their poison into the air everyone else passing by has to breathe. I take care of myself and don't have this habit...so I'd love someone to explain to me why I should have to expose myself and my unborn child (oh man...is this my first pregnancy diva moment?) to their cigars and cigarettes.You smoke. I don't. You go stand in the cold if it's worth that much to you! I know it's tough to quit smoking--I saw my dad struggle for years before he was finally able to. But he also never put his lit cigarette on the windowsill of the pizza place by the door while he was inside getting his order (I just saw someone do this, want to kill them).

I am finding it really tough to avoid secondhand smoke while downtown. Nobody wants to inconvenience themselves by walking to an alley because it's cold.  So they stand in the doorway of my office building. Or on the sidewalk where you cross the street. Or in the car next to me in the parking lot.

I will be honest, I'm feeling a little rage over this.
