My freedom to do as I want when I want....is not dependant on your ‘comfort’ level in a social invironment.

If you don’t want to be around smokers you have other choices...eat at home...go to places that are non-smoking. That IS your freedom and your choice.

Neither does someones “medical condition” determine what freedoms others have or not. If allergies...stay away from places that are not “comfortable”...it’s YOUR problem..not societies.

Business owners were once given a choice on how to run their business...you note there were very few businesses that did not accomodate smokers.

On the other hand I find it “uncomfortable to watch obese people shoveling food down their throats knowing full well they are endangering their life.

You have a distinct adversion to smokers.....so move away from them...simple.

So your addiction determines how I enjoy a public place, but my allergies have no say?

It’s ironic because you both argue for the choice of business owners, yet smokers are always up in arms when employers limit smoking or ask about smoking on a questionaire.
