If I'm aware of it, yes. That's exactly what it means.
So smell isn't a big deal? Would you let a company build a chicken processing plant down the street from your house? How about a nice slaughterhouse outside of town.
I've lived down the street form Chicken farms, hog farms, slaughter houses and no, I didn't particularly enjoy the smell. Neither did I try to outlaw them or make them move. I dealt with it by buying air purifiers for my house.
How do you feel about businesses being able to exclude smokers?
If the business owner decides, I have no problem whatsoever with them disallowing smoking on their property. But you can't "exclude" smokers. You can disallow smoking on the property but you can't "exclude" smokers. That WOULD be discrimination.
Did you buy a home near one of those places or did build their plants after you moved in? There's a huge difference.
When I was stationed in Cherry Point, NC, we actually had people protesting the "noise pollution" from the jets. These were people who bought land and built homes KNOWING their was a Marine Corps Air Station right down the street. What did they expect when they moved in? Quiet jets? Pilots practicing combat maneuvers in gliders?
That's insanity.
