What do women here-to bypass an unusually touchy subject and use the politically correct word "women" instead of Asian women-think of smokers, and that in general? Any feedback from them?

For the most part they seem accepting. Both kinds of genders here, in general, seem accepting, and that of the acrid stench that permeates your clothes and being and breath whenever you lightup and afterward waltz into a public domain. For this reason, too, I feel comfortable.

Not so back home. People shake their heads, hold their breath, and give you the cold shoulder.

I guess I'm smoking again, as you can tell. But believe it or not, I'd quit for well over five years before.

Do you know what smoking is slang for in Thailand.

My point is just that. There's too much acceptance of this disease, making them more pure, though women are more susceptible(about 30%) than men to non-smoking lung cancer.

I would hate to die of the f___ing disease. Tainted I am not. Toasted, yes. But I think we're speaking here of olfactory senses the Koreans are more used to, which has made me so comfortable being around knowing this inconceivable outcome, and their acceptance of my weakness.

Can you rephrase your question? You're asking what people think here about women who smoke?

I really have no idea what you are trying to ask.

try using shorter sentences or get one of your Korean students to write the question.

It turns out most of his grand willpower to stay away from cigarettes came from being rejected by women. Now that he is in a place where women are okay with stinky nasty smokers, he is going to die of lung cancer, and it makes him sad. So he's drunk.
