His Drugs, My Problem

I swallow as I watch a man light a ciggerette. Soon I'll be coughing.

I feel it encroching my lungs, giving me cancer, raising my health insurance costs.

I think people have rights to smoke, drink, and take drugs. They don't have a right to pollute me and my life. Once our house was robbed, and the police think it was for money for drugs. Drugs should be isolated to the person taking them, not everyone around them.
