As long as the government doesn't get involved, every non-smoker has the right to tell you they don't like your pollution.

Who told you it was "pollution"? Your thought processes must need warming a little. The anti-cigarette campaign is a movement by the lawyers, of the lawyers, for the lawyers.

In 1964, standing across the street, from New Hanover High School during lunch break, smoking a cig, I cAfter school, I went home to a cloud of Roi-tans and Pall Malls. My folks didn't know any better. Of course, Pop is 83, and just retired from his third career last year. And Mom is living in her own apartment. They divorced about five years ago, after being married for 53. Last year, Pop started smoking cigars again! I get him some good Dominicans these days.

Of course, some of the lawyers just stick to normal buiness.

If it stinks and ruins my clothes, it is pollution to me. Just move away, keep it outside and don't blow it in my face, and we will get along. I might even join you outside for smoke.

Yes, I'm well aware of this. I'm an advocate of tort reform and believe the lawyers who get rich off suing companies on behalf of "victims" who are merely victims of their own choice, should be strung up and tortured.

I'm not asking for laws, lawsuits or even general shunning of smokers. I'm merely asking for a little decency. I can do it, so can you.

Now go back and read my posts and be more careful with your assumptions.
