a smoker (L) and a non-smoker (R)
e.g.
Being a smoker, Robin has a constant threat from his wife, a strict nonsmoker, who often threatens to divorce if he doesn’t give up smoking!
These days smokers are given separate places in public buildings, on trains and buses where they can smoke without bothering the non-smokers.
Nonsmokers are fighting for their right to be free of tobacco smoke in public places, and the health agencies are banning smoking in public places, one place after another, including bars and night clubs.
