Bull. As I heard someone say recently, having a smoking section in a restaurant makes as much sense as having a peeing section in a pool.

You don't hang out with very pleasant people, do you?

If you don't like going to an establishment that permits smoking you have 3 choices, find one that prohibits it, open your own, or stay home.

A a member of FReeRepublic I can not understand you looking at this issue in any other way.

Have other smokers noticed that non-smokers and Antis seem to take exceptional pleasure in bathroom/potty humor? The Antis have always been so eager to coin statements that get attention with short childish shock slogans.

Anyone with half a brain knows that a pool with millions of gallons of water is only completely replaced with fresh water a couple of times a year, while the most basic indoor ventilation system changes over the air every few hours. That is, unless they have gone smoke-free and can reduce the amount of fresh air introduced by their system...just recycle the stale stuff.

Good example: The airlines!

Last pool I ever almost entered was a few years back in Honduras. Saw a little kid standing on the side whizzing into it. So, I just stayed on the deck and enjoyed the sun.....

Moral of story: Doesn't really matter how much one accomodates the worry-warts, you'll never make them happy no matter how much you try to accomodate them and they'll still piss on you.......

Well, how often do they CHANGE that water in a pool?  Restaurants with big smoke eaters are constantly changing the air.

So this ridiculous analogy doesn't fly.
