I am only "impolite" because I DARE to point out that smokers' "rights" don't extend past their personal space.

As soon as you step onto public space, it no longer belongs to just you, as opposed to what you believe, the world is NOT your oyster.

Since we all share the same air, I submit that isn't true.

Unless you want to propose an alternative measure, that requires apartment management, restaurant owners, etc., to provide oxygen masks.

Someone here mentioned some restaurants that have installed high-tech air filters. That's a recognition of exactly what I'm saying: You don't have the right to foist the consequences of your personal choice on me.

It has been discussed by people in the know that the same rules will apply to car exhaust.
When Mr. Minnion is contacted by his neighbors lawyer for allowing the toxic fumes from his auto to enter his neighbors nose, will this game cease to be amusing. No judge or jury can deny how much more harmful cars vapors are. While 6-7 government studies have found no harm from SHS.
Of course once the cases come forward on lawsuits from car exhaust, and Mr. Minnion and his other elk claim fowl, will the issue of SHS become mute and non existent. As anti smokers are quite vocal, it won't be difficult to easily single them out for their hypocrisy. Testifying to the dangers of cigarette smoke while they continue to spew deadly carcinogens from their autos in people faces, should be quite entertaining. After all, they can drive all they want. As long as their car fumes don't reach my nose and stay in their space.. That goes for their grill as well.
