Well if I go to a restaurant where it's both legal and ok with the restaurant for me to pee where I like then I should expect to get splattered. I wouldn't choose to go the Golden Shower Grill if I had an aversion to getting peed on (which I do). If you go to a restaurant where they allow smoking then you've made the choice to be in a situation where you may inhale smoke.

OK, what if i aerosolized the urine? If yo ustand by a urinal you should expect to get spalshed with pee and if I go to a cigar bar, I shoudl expect to inhale second hand smoke. However, neither of us should expect either result if we are sitting down to eat a meal.
