I remember how unpleasant it was when flying and regardless of where one sat one had to breath the smoke and the stench of tobacco would be all on ones clothes afterwards.
Neither am I fond of the smokers who flick ashes out the car window when I’m riding behind them. They just strike me as a particularly rude and thoughtless segment of society.
You and me both. But apparently we're the inconsiderate ones. According to cripplecreek, if you don't wantto breathe second hand smoke or you oppose cigarettes or the behavior of smokers in any way, you might as well be exterminating Jews. (See post #85)
If the airlines actually ran the air scrubbers like they were supposed to smoke on planes wouldn’t have been a problem. As for car windows, well they don’t put ashtrays in cars anymore, when there’s no proper convenient receptacle for things they tend to wind up on the ground.
The mantra from smokies back then (and today)was tough $h!t, you can always take another plane, boat, drive whatever...Don't like to inhale smoke while eating, tough $h!t, find another restaurant.
Don't like your children being marketed to and turned into addicts? Tough $h!t. Don't like babies being born with birth defects 'cause their mother smoked while pregnant? Tough $h!t
Now they wonder why they lost the smoking wars and why people marched by the thousands into voting booths to restrict their addiction.
Are you aware that since smoking was banned on airlines the airlines have decreased the number of air changes they used to make. In other words, airplane air is now even more unhealthy than it was when smoking was permitted, yet the airlines love it because air changing coasts fuel efficiency.

I am so UNfond of them, no one is permitted to do so in my car - I will (and have) stop and make the offender get out and find it. No one has ever done it twice while riding with me :-)
