Well, if smokers are aware that it bothers us so. Why do they continue to smoke in enclosed places in our presence?

I personally don't care what "bothers" you any more than you care what "bothers" me.

So, then you concede that it's not health concerns, just bothersome things that are the issue?

Years of forcing restaurant owners into investing thousands of dollars into reconfiguring their buildings and installing smoke-eaters weren't enough for you, right?

No, you had to use the force of government to coerce everyone into compliance with nanny-state regulations in case, someday, you might want to wander into their establishment and have a white wine and "all natural ingredient" nachos when you were in a mood.

The argument is being driven by children grown large, posing as adults.

I guess you proudly count yourself as one of them.

No, I think it's harmful as well. "I personally don't care what "bothers" you any more than you care what "bothers" me."

What makes you think I don't care what bothers you? If my children are crying in a restaurant, I get up and take them outside so the other patrons can enjoy their meal. If I know something bothers you and it's within my power to fix it, generally I will.
