and, demeaning somebody for blowing toxic chemicals into your home is not "bullying" somebody, it's a form of self-defense - the bully is the person that refuses to refrain from engaging in behaviour that is seriously damaging to your health, despite repeated demands and explanations.

what i did was correct - both legally and morally. and, while i acknowledge that our society's values around second-hand smoke are currently disappointingly backwards, i am confident that i will be exonerated by history. i had no choice but to take action to protect myself from behaviour that was seriously damaging to my physical, mental and emotional health.

there is simply no excuse to smoke when you're asked not to, and any tactic imaginable is justifiable to protect the only meaningful thing we own, which is our health.
