Are you kidding? That never happened. Smokers attitudes were like yours about peanuts..."If you don't like my smoke, deal with it...your problem, not mine."

I beg to differ. With one exception, the only time I have ever encountered that type attitude was in the home or business of a smoker. That one exception was my mother and even then it only applied to my brother's house or car - and I still found it appalling.

I was referring to the old days when smoking was allowed everywhere. Nobody asked for permission.

I remember when my mother tried to smoke. I was 4 and thought she was dying...and for a few minutes I think she wanted to.
