All I said was that I don't like it. I didn't advocate the government doing anything about it.
But, you want "someone" to move them 15 feet away. Why haven't you champiomed their RIGHTS to have an INDOOR designated area?
It is about PERSONAL RIGHTS, and that was the purpose of my post in the first place. YOU GET ONE LIFE. I GET ONE LIFE. WE ALL GET ONE LIFE! We all get personal rights, in the Constitution, and by God! Pardon me, but I guess I have to shout my points for them to be understood!
No, I do NOT want "someone" to move them.
I want them to move themselves because it's polite to do so, and because they realize that their habit is one many people find noxious.
Can you understand the distinction, or do I have to use shorter words?

Everyone was happy when smokers had little lounges inside where they work. No one had to walk through us to get inside the building.
Now that we have been kicked outside, the anti's still aren't happy. Now they want us 15-25 feet from the door. When they can still SEE us, they will still bitch.
Well, they better get over it, because smokers aren't going anywhere any time soon!

You might want to dust off that Constitution, because I'm pretty sure it doesn't say anything about a right to an indoor smoking area.
Many building owners ask that smokers not smoke right outside the doors, but this rule is often difficult to enforce. If, in that situation, someone chooses to violate the rule, he is effectively guilty of trespass. These people are the ones I condemn. Worst are the people who toss their butts on the ground just outside the door, demonstrating to the world what trash they really are.
I really have no problem with smokers who comply with property rules when smoking, and if I dislike those rules my only issue is with the owner.
