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.
The stench of tyranny is far worse than any smell coming from cigarettes.

I asked why you feel the way you do. Since you haven't answered, it makes it difficult for me to respond without making an assumption. My assumption is that you don't care for the smell of smoke. With that in mind, my next assumption is that you don't approve of smoke from a chimney, smoke from a camp fire, BBQ's etc. I must also assume then, that you would be in favor of banning every kind of smoke.
What are your thoughts on people who don't bathe or shower regularly or people who don't use deodorant at the gym (aside from the French)? Surely the "ignorance of these people as to how bad they smell is the reason that" you'd be at opposite ends from them...and that "this ignorance is the root cause of their incosiderate behavior"? No?
So I'll ask you again...instead of making this an 'us against them' fight, why not use intelligence, reason and common sense to form some sort of a basis for your opinion.
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.
Explain then, the non-smokers that actually enjoy the smell of tobacco smoke? and further, please explain the smokers (like myself) that can not stand the smell of other types of things burning?

The only ignorance here is coming from your keyboard. And the shame of it is that you well know it, but refuse to acknowledge it.
If you don't like the smell, it's real simple - stay out of places that permit smoking or speak to the owners of the establishments. Don't go running to nanny government to do what you are too wimpy to do on your own.
