The 'relationship' with an adjacent person can become complex. I don't want to get involved.
I don't fly to 'make friends'.
I wear earplugs.
I don't make eye contact.
I read my New Yorker.
I gaze out the window.
I sleep.

I do not want any relationship with the adjacent person.
Smiling or greeting is never a good idea. It leads to tears. It leads to their thinking that you want to chat. I don't.
So, you don’t want to hear about my exciting business opportunity called Amway?

You may not be technically “smoking” but you would still be ingesting nicotine into your body. Would you really want to do that?
