Very well said, Max! Very well said, indeed! 
:::snip whiny blather:::...When I have to sit there and inhale the second hand smoke,...my freedom is being destroyed.
If it were true that you "have to sit there and inhale the second hand smoke," your freedom WOULD be encroached. So. Now that I've agreed with you, where is the place that you are FORCED to go and where you "have to sit there and inhale the second hand smoke"? Are you forced to enter restaurants/bars that welcome smokers? No? Do the places you HAVE to go (DMV, grocery stores, govt. buildings, etc.) permit smoking where you are? C'mon, Tacis, join in here. Let's see if you and I, both reasonable people, can solve this problem.
:::snipped asinine comment about incense:::--I no more have the right to poison your air than you do to poison mine with tobacco.
Which "air" is yours, Tacis? Post a sign at the door saying "THIS IS TACIS'S AIR--DO NOT FOUL IT!" and no smoker will ever enter. On the other hand, you do NOT own the air in MY restaurant, so I'll post a sign outside saying "THIS IS NOT TACIS'S AIR--SMOKERS WELCOME (TACIS, STAY AWAY!)" That'll work, won't it? No? Whyever not? Surely you don't expect me to respect your right to "your" air if you don't respect "mine."
:::snip endless inane diversionary statements:::
The most interesting part of these responses is that I get nothing but ad hominem attacks...
Take the log out of your own eye before bitching about the mote in someone else's.
:::no ad hominems here, no, not at all:::--from addicts who can think of nothing else. Your addiction really is offensive. You and it do stink. And, if you can step back a moment, you'd see what a wasteful, non-productive habit it is.
Point is, Tacis, it's none of your business. Get it? Why is that so hard for control freaks to understand? It's very simple, really...pay attention, now...
MY. HABITS. ARE. NONE. OF. YOUR. BUSINESS! Your bigotry really is offensive. You and it do stink. And, if you can step back a moment, you'd see what a wasteful, non-productive habit it is.
Very well said, Max! Very well said, indeed!
