The following political position can get you somewhere: "We respect your right not to be exposed to your smoke. How can we work something out so that we can smoke and you can be free of our smoke?"

Technological advances will soon allow people to smoke freely and responsibly in public.

There has already been a fortune spent on filtering devices trying to appease the antismoking nazis. Nothing will satisy them except a total ban even on thinking about a cigarette. Then they will start in on something else.

I need neither technological advances nor new laws to do that now.

Of course, I draw the line at the total dimwits who swoon at the sight of a plastic cigarette, and want to outlaw smoking at beaches and public parks. There is nothing "reasonable" about that.
