There are some folks on this board that feel that just because a product is legal, they are entitled to use that product whenever and wherever they wish. Alcohol is legal, but there are places where it is not permitted.

I'm not some nutjob that thinks that being exposed to a few short minutes of cigarette smoke a day is going to kill me, but when the odor fills my living space 24 hours a day I don't think it unreasonable to be a tad concerned. I find it disturbing that the pro-smoking crowd is so bent on "doing their thing" that they ridicule anyone who simply wants a little common sense and a bit of courtesy from those who willingly risk serious harm to their health. Apparently, they think that it is their right to also pose a serious risk to mine as well.

I agree.

Theinteresting thing to me is that as no smoking laws get enforced, in restaurants, buildings, work etc,,the smell of cigarets gets more pronounced. The less of it around, the more it seems offensive. Other people have told me that. used to be one could tolerate a smoker at the next table in a restaurant, but now it just feels like a blast of disgusting smell coming at you.

I feel sorry for smokers out in the cold trying to smoke during work. It must be harder and harder to be a smoker.
