On the contrary, most smokers (there is a jerk in every group, after all) I have seen try their best to accomodate. My father-in-law will go outside whenever he smokes, not because he is told to, but because he doesn't want to smoke around his grandkids.
I was outside the library when I smelled cigarette smoke. The man smoking was trying his best to smoke in the other direction, so as not to bother me. Which is even funnier, because I soon found out I had unknowingly been standing next to the Designated Smoking Area sign.

I have warned my husband not to smoke in my car but he does anyway. My wife knows better.
I pay for every car I've ever driven.
If she's unhappy in any way, she can buy her own.
I once had a neighbor who seemed normal. A few years ago, I bought a Jeep Cherokee which I needed for my work. I would drive home only on weekends, because the job site was 140 miles away.
One day I drove it home and my neighbor saw it for the first time.
He looked at the cigarette I was smoking and said," you know, the leasing company does not like it when you smoke in their vehicles!"
My response to his naked presumption was brief and to the point: "Neither you not anyone else has anything to say about a vehicle I have bought and paid for".
Oh yes, he was an ex-smoker.

I recall the original EPA report turned out to be a bunch separate studies lumped together with no clear outcome.More accurately, it was a compilation of portions of many many studies, choosing only the parts that would support their premise.
At least one Federal Court determined it was incompetent and clearly fraudulent.
Yet, most existing laws across the country are "based" on that "study".

Not to mention that the smoking bans are being initiated at the local level.So if eating/breathing/marriage/living regulations were initiated at the local level that would be OK?
Your agenda is showing.

Here is one that would really drive you nuts. I know a guy who would make a big deal of hacking whenever he SAW a smoker. We were at the mall once and I had seen someone smoking across the food court. The person was behind him. I had noticed this for at least five minutes. It wasn't until the guy turned around to get up that he started hacking and coughing about the cigarette smoke. It really was irritating.

"I think we try to micromanage people's lives to an extent that's getting ridiculous, whether it's health or dietary or lifestyle decisions," said Assemblyman Joe Canciamilla, D-Pittsburg.More proof that our elected betters have nothing constructive to do, but at least one assemblyman gets it.

The car belongs to me. The title is in my name. I pay the insurance and for most of the gas. I allow my husband to drive it. He does not have his own car because he turned in his lease last year.
Even though he claims he drives with the windows down, I can still smell it, and IT STINKS.
He got me one of those air fresheners shaped like a leaf that you hang from the rearview mirror, and those things also stink and they give me a headache.

What business of your's is it if others are addicted to a vice, you twit? And not paying attention to the likes of you, the gods of reason, harms you how?
I suppose you'd like to come around and give us all a personal lesson in behavior, eh Adolph?

These Libs do not care about children, it's just another evil underhanded and sleazy way to fine people for using a legal product. They should ban it, or shut up. They are the very same people refusing to keep pedophiles in jail, or even give them stiffer sentences, refusing to come down on teachers who molest children, and refusing to stop sex teaching of small children in school. Yeah.............it's for the children.

Another reason to never set food back in that socialist state.. and I dont even have kids.
Next up, regulating of fatty foods in homes with children. Scary police state stuff indeed.
The antis wont listen until something THEY are "addicted" to is banned by big brother.

"Of course, "science" tells us that if you get even the slightest whiff of tobacco smoke -- not even a whiff, but just a hint of its aroma -- well, you're on the express train to the Promised Land."
LOL Bogus science tells us that yes. While science refuses to tell people that one instance of homosexual sex acts CAN send you to the promise land, and most certainly puts you at very serious medical risk. If they want to make laws to keep people healthy, THAT would be a much more realistic and beneficial place to start.

OH how ridiculous!! Why don't they ban wildfires, since surely they are much more hazardous! Burring word sends off the same carcinogens as tobacco, so wildfires are multiplying them by ???

Mission creep gaurantees that this law will morph into child abuse. How long before smokers have their kids taken away by the state?

They don't listen to reason, or behave accordingly. Who are they supposed to listen to?
Could you please define "behave accordingly"?
