Sorry, I shouldn't have exagerated like that. But based solely on anecdotal evidence, I really don't think that that is the case.
Btw, anecdotal evidence here means that I'm British, and that I have lived in both France and America before, as well as having visited every EU country except Portugal. And Finland and sweden, come to think about it. Oh wait, I've not been to Greece either. crap

Borderline lunacy is not taking responsibility for your own actions and trying to find another scapegoat to skirt past the issue at hand...second hand smoke.
Bottom Line: Second hand smoke is a nuissance to many people. If it weren't, we wouldn't have smoking/non-smoking sections in restaraunts.
Solution: Sit in non-smoking in restaraunts that offer it, or only go to non-smoking establishments. If you are in public and smoke is bothering you, move, or politely (and politeness is important) ask the smoker to move. Pretty tough to come up with solutions like that huh?

If people weren't being so RUDE in the first place by smoking up around NE1 just b/c they need a fix, we wouldn't have to resort to such solutions.
There's a time and a place for everything. You wouldn't puff a cig in a church, or at a funeral, or in a concert hall, or in the school auditoriam at your child's school play now would you?? What makes any other places any different?
I don't smoke, as I've said many times before. Mabey it was in one of my posts you neglected to read.
Many, many people think that anti-segregation laws are a nuisance. Religion is a nuisance to many people too, It it weren't we wouldn't have separation of church and state right? No one has EVER died from religion right?
Video games are detrimental to a students academic health, ban them!
Name nearly anything, and there is a group of people who think its a nuisance. So what is your point?
Bottom line: Your health, is NOT my responsibility.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Politely ask them to move. If they don't then act like a turd.
By public, I mean outdoors. Not sure if you meant the same thing. And every place you mentioned is typically a private place, except for maybe the school. Obviously you don't smoke in areas where smoking is prohibitted. I try to smoke away from people that aren't smoking. Standing around pissed off about some smoker being in the same area you aren't won't accomplish anything. Nor will bitching on an internet forum.
You are a ridiculous capitalist pig! May Hillary Clinton sit on your face until you see the errors of your ways.

Maybe I shouldn't have said "public" places. My point is, there's a time and a place for everything. If you were NOT to smoke in church or at a funeral out of a matter of respect for others, why shouldn't doing the same (NOT SMOKING) at other places where people co-mingle be just as appropriate?
I don't think smoking is banned at funerals, it's just bad manners. Churchs are typically indoors, and that makes more sense. Smoking in a park, or on my deck (I don't smoke inside the house), or outside any place I may be working, etc should not be a huge deal to you or to any other person. Smokers go through a bunch of crap to help you preserve your lungs, you can try and do the same.
Yea, I'm glad too. It made you completely ignorant to everything having to do with that part of the world.
As a note, Fayetteville AK was/is (I don't know what's going on there now) trying to ban smoking in restaraunts, bars, etc. Every business I was in down there hated the idea and was lobbying against it.
Well, that's a good thing you're keeping "clean". On the other hand, it helps to know about your subject matter when you are discussing something on a forum. You are at a serious lack of knowledge on this entire subject matter.
Ok, my view on the subject has nothing to do with the health aspects of smoking. It's your body, you can do whatever you want. If you need more health care, who cares since you are already contributing more tax dollars toward it.
What I dislike are rude people in general. These are the people who's locker is next to yours and they put the smelly gym clothes in there. The people that wear open air headphones and crank their music while on the bus. The people who bath in cologne and sit beside you on the train... It's simply a problem with manners, and thinking about others in your environment. If I did smoke I know I would be considerate around others. I already use closed design headphones that don't emit noise outside (Sennheiser HD 25 SP's). I shower once a day, and after every workout. I wear deodorant, and if I smell of anything, it's usually after shave or soap. All I ask is that smokers make the same considerations when they choose to light up, is that too much to ask?
Some examples that I found rude... people lighting up while in a line. I don't have choice to avoid them. They are standing in front of me. Smoking at a bus stop, not only is is gross for the people waiting for the bus, it's gross for the people they sit beside because they reek of smoke.
