Funny you mention that. I recently attended an outdoor event. It was hot and people sat under a tent to watch a skit. A smoker sat down front and the wind direction caused his smoke to travel across one half of the seats.
I gave up my seat and moved to the other side. It was a small inconvenience to stand but no big deal. What I found interesting was one by one people moved to the other side until their was only standing room in the sun on the smokeless side. The smoker was oblivious to the effect he had on those around him. I am sure he figured that being outside, his smoke could not be bothersome to anyone. One smoker chased off about ten people.
My question for you is, if those nonsmokers were asked to vote on a smoking ban for that event right after that event, how do you think they would vote?
What's that got to do with smoke in a tavern?
Did ANYONE politely ask him to stop smoking?
Did ANYONE ask him politely to move?
I didn't think so.
I doubt that smoke itself bothered that many people. There IS a reason the anti's came up with "SHS will KILL YOU" commercials. If most people were truly upset about the odor, the lies wouldn't be needed.

Mission accomplished. He got rid of the self righteous windbag that wouldn't shut up.
