Do you go up to non-smokers in a bar or restaurant and ask if its ok? If they say no, do you ask all the other smokers to stop? I could care less if you smoke, but 1) I don't want to pay for your medical bills when the cigarettes come back up to greet you (if you have health insurance, I will) and 2) I don't want my asthma to explode simply because I want to enjoy a bar or restaurant that you, or another smoker, happens to be smoking in. This is the crux of the argument for me. Its not about trying to curb your right to smoke, its more to enjoy my right to breathe. Dave
