Don't confuse involuntary activity undertaken in an attempt to not be offensive to others with that which essentially says "screw you if you don't like smoke."

I am not an anti-smoking fanatic but to cast any doubt on the right of smokers to smoke anywhere and anytime they want is sufficient to provoke the Smoke-uber-alles crowd to name-calling.

You have a point, although most of us wouldn't think of lighting up anywhere where we are not suppose to. We have no problem with designated areas. It's only when we get the "immoral, disgusting pig" label and they want to eliminate those designated areas altogether that we get upset.

I don't know any smokers like that now, or when I was a child and smoking was acceptable.
