That's exactly right, smokers [and, I am one, to my deep chagrin] have been forcing their disgusting habit of polluting the air on everyone else. And forcing other people to breathe their smoke. My cousin, a flight attendant who has never smoked, but worked in bars and then on planes at a time when there was smoking, now has emphysema, and she is not alone in this. Non-smokers have been making choices for years not to go places because of the smoke. Now smokers can make their "choices". Diane Wiley REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
