"This is proof that compromise works. The non-smokers were forewarned that there was smoking allowed in side, so they came in under their own free will."
This is the way I look at it. Tell me before I get inside that I will be exposed to smoking because I can assure you that I will not go inside no matter how hip or happening the joint may be. And make sure I have a choice which I think having the default be non-smoking provides. "I make sure that if I am outdoors where people are gathered my smoke does not blow towards them, whether they smoke or not." You probably suffer from the majority of smokers who have no such considerations. As well as you may not be aware just how far your smoke travels. This is what I hate about taking public transportation. The bus and train stops are covered by smokers. Not only do they just light up, smokers apparently can not stand each others smoke, because they always spread out to completely cover the stop. I would happily go the the non-smoking bus stop or routes if such a thing existed. But apparently my choices are to not use public transportation, which has meant in the past not going to work. Try to get far enough (1/2 block or more) up wind from the smokers which can be difficult on calm days and a constantly moving target as the next smoker moves up wind of me. Or start spritzing smokers with a water bottle ala the ex "Morty" of "Simpsons" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:249554 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
