Get close to a dog and blow smoke in its face. See what happens.

I love the smell of a good cigar, but blow your smoke in my face and I'll probably hurt you!
That marketing exec was an idiot!
When my wife was in college, she would have clobbered a guy for that! (that was the 70's) My daughter has been known to knee guys for less! (that was the early 2000's)

In one of my asbestos awareness classes, the guy brought up the advertising idea, or maybe the design feature of "Kent Cigarettes with Micronite Filters." (I'm sure I have the spelling wrong.) He said pretty much everything with "ite" in its name is a form of asbestos. I had to escort a guy off his barstool beside me because he kept his cigarette down near his lap which made the smoke come up and into my face after I mentioned it bothered me and he thought it was funny. And I smoked, too, at the time. I don't see much romantic in those old commercials but maybe it worked!
Then there is generalized poor taste....
He was right
Snopes article here
Micronite filters, which use crocidolite asbestos, were exclusively used in Kent cigarettes from 1952 to 1956. ...Somewhat perversely, these asbestos filters were advertised as a health and safety feature in the 1950s:
Asbestos.com article
"Hollingsworth & Vose Company, also known as H&V Specialties, produced asbestos cigarette filters for Lorillard Tobacco Company’s “Kent Micronite” brand cigarettes... from 1952-1956...The filters contained crocidolite asbestos, one of the most toxic types of asbestos."
Violence is not the answer. 
How about cocaine for your darling pre-schoolers?
More appropriate for a Tic-Tac commercial nowadays
I never smoked un till age 25. A girlfriend kept blowing smoke in my face so began. Quit at age 44, My lungs are clear and have been now for almost 50 years. When I go it will be from something else, not an angry husband.
