If I light up, it's in a restaurant that welcomes smokers. Why are you there?
tell me can you keep the second hand smoke to your table only? No, I suspect not.
Proper ventilation systems make the pollution level in smoker-friendly establishments LOWER than in smoker-hostile ones without ventilation. Why aren't you lobbying for better ventilation?
Name for me one act that I can do at my table which would interfere with your dining experience the way that your cigarette smoke with interfere with mine.
Having unruly, disrespectful children. And ventilation doesn't help that.
That is the difference between you and me--I don't want to mess with the air you are breathing in the restaurant but you seem to have no qualms spreading your second hand smoke around the room. I don't care if you smoke--go ahead but please don't think that a seperate section or partition segregates your habit from those who don't smoke.
Without good ventilation, you're right, but that doesn't change the fact that you're there willingly and if the place welcomes smokers, you have the choice to go elsewhere. Separate BUILDINGS do a far better job of segregation than partitions. Don't you agree?
