As a nonsmoker then you have no clue what a smoker smells and doesn't smell. Its my belief that if they had a clue how awful their smoke was they would be more understanding when someone at the opposite end of the room or next door objects. To them its seems irrational.

I'm describing the root cause of the disconnect between two groups. On the one hand there is a group of smokers who are unaware of how offensive they are and on the other is a group who cannot believe how rude the others are.

From this one group thinks the other is acting irrationally and attributes conspiracy theories about control and nazis while the other group looks for reasons to impose a ban.

The cigar smoker knows his smoke is offensive and acts accordingly. The cigarette smoker doesn't know and also acts accordingly.

I used to smoke, I am around smokers all the time. It doesn't bother me. It bothers some. They shouldn't go on private property where smoking is allowed by the owners.

Do you support the use of government power to force private property owners to conform to "no smoking" laws?
