End of the day for my arguments as I have to attend to some errands. I will close with the following thoughts; not arguments, just reflections. Years ago I had to put up with smoking office-mates as they had a "right" to smoke. Times change, society changes, laws change. I am greatful for the laws since employers were slow to accomodate those wishing to work in a non-irritating environment. Years ago I had to expect that I would be subjected to smoking in restuarants. Times change but restuarants were slow to accomodate. Then when non-smoking areas were introduced (volutarily or regulated) it was a joke. I often stood in line for the non-smoking section while those of less determination would "accept" a seat in the half empty smoking section although desiring non-smoking. It was "convenient" for the restaurant to operate in this manner. I am glad the laws have changed so now I can generally feel free to be able to go out to eat without having an irritant being expelled nearby. Years ago I had to endure being cooped up in an airliner with smokers. Times change. Years ago, smokers could pollute elevators. Times change. Yes, there are some militant anti-smokers, but this issue is driven by the many that just find smoking disgusting and want to be free to mingle in society without that irritation. Years ago, I had to wait for a plane and there was ONE cigar smoker in the area. I went to the other side but it was still nauseating. It only takes one of these to kill any good will by other smokers. Hence more and more regulations because "society" wants it. Times change. Good Day!
But anti-smokers don't. And I can only call you an anti smoker because you refuse to address the idea of allowing ANY bar or restaurant to permit smoking because you don't like it.
But please remember your own words, Times change.
They will most likely come back and haunt the antis.
Good Day
