It's really going to tick some of these puritans off someday, when they are forced to die healthy. :-)
That was my first smile this morning. I have spent many years accommodating non-smokers. I have several air purifiers in my home and when I have company I go outside or in my sacred computer room to have my smokes. I've been on many long trips with these idiots and have only smoked at rest stops. Putting the window down isn't enough for them. I quit visiting them in their homes which has angered a few of them but it is my right to not go where my cigarettes aren't wanted. No one has ever given up anything for me nor would I ask or expect them to. We own a bar where everyone is welcome. We accommodate smokers with smoke eaters, but that is as far as we will go. Bars are a place to relax and have a good time. Non-smokers are welcome but they are not going to disrupt the other customers who the bread and butter of the business. My other half doesn't smoke and says if they come after the bar, he will fight them to the end. Smoke is a lot easier to to wash out of clothing than perfume or cheap cologne which I'm forced to even taste when a non-smoker bathes him/herself in odors. If they can't smell themselves, how in the world can they smell smoke?
