Won't be long before inconsiderate addicts are only allowed to smoke in specially designated fields miles away from any humans. If only they were considerate they would have avoided all this.

With all due respect, based on your posts on other smoking-related threads (here, here, and here, for example), it seems as though you enjoy spouting opinion and judgments but offer no basis for your conclusions.

Do you find smoke from a candlelit dinner repugnant as well?
Do you not enjoy cozying up by the fire with your S/O?
Or, what about campfires...surely the smoke that Boy Scouts inhale shouldn't be permitted.
Have you ever been to Elizabeth, NJ? (The whole town should be banned (in my opinion using your logic) for offensive odors harmful to everyone's health.)
What should be done about people who don't shower daily?
How about restaurant employees who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom?
Are you concerned about getting cancer or some sort of health-related illness from smokers?
Can you honestly say that you believe the media-tales when it comes to 2nd hand smoke?
Why is it that you feel the way you do?

Providing an answer to at least the last question would be helpful...at least then we can possibly steer away from the name-calling, argumentative aspect and perhaps try to have an actual intelligent stimulating conversation. :)

Your questions indicate that smokers have no idea either that they have no sense of smell left and that they have no clue how awful their smoke smells.

The ignorance of the smoker as to how bad this smells is the reason smokers and nonsmokers are at opposite ends. This ignorance is the root cause of their inconsiderate behavior.
