They keep forgetting that smokers are 25% of the population. Remember, there are more smokers than Blacks in America, and we are getting sick and tired of this discrimination.

Nothing personal, but I am part of the 75% who are sick and tired of the 25% stinking up public places to the point that we have to change cloths after returning home to get rid of the stench. I don't support laws to enforce non-smoking, but I will go out of my way to patronize non-smoking establishments.

Actually, I have no argument with you. That is a personal choice and you have the option to patronize businesses that cater to your preference.

Where I have a problem is when people dictate their preference upon others.

Thank you. I appreciate your dislike of the smell of cigarettes. You are willing to let the market do it's work. Support non-smoking establishments with your $$s.

Thank you for not passing a law that gives your local cops the excuse to point a gun at my head to enforce said law, should I choose not to comply.

Because that's the bottom line to laws. Are you willing to point a gun at someone's head who disagrees with you? Is it that important?

You're exercising your right to CHOOSE where you want to go. We want no more than the same choice.

The smokers just don't get it. One cigarette smoked is enough to start a cough and runny nose in some of us. Needing to change clothes after being around someone who smokes and their hacking coughs.

Just once I would like to find some foul smelling incense and light it up in a restuarant and see the reaction from the smoking section as to the stench. Unfortunately, the smoker's olfactory senses and are imparied due to the cigarettes and they probably wouldn't smell it.

Then you're handling your dislike of smoking appropriately and in a way that infringes on nobody's rights. The complaint is about the Nazis who use the fraudulent second-hand smoke arguments to get LAWS passed. Not people who don't like the smell and adjust their patronage accordingly.
