Smoke

I hate it during the 7th lunar month when people burn incense paper and joss sticks, and hold noisy concerts in open spaces to entertain the spirits.

The smoke irritates my throat, makes me cough, makes my eyes water. The noise distracts me and irritates me.

I'm sure I'm not the only one.

There are practical reasons why I disagree with blind adherence to tradition.
