I'm not in denial about it at all, it just doesn't absorb much of my time or worry.

If you don't like the smell simply f*ck off and go sit somewhere else because I will not put it out or move simply because it is irritating someone, especially in an establishment that it is permitted. I got into a argument with a fellow at a casino one day because he seemed to thing his rights as a non-smoker trumped my rights as a smoker, I did not butt out and he called me an ignorant ass hole and he got up and went to another machine. I then played his machine and won $100.00, I walked around until I found him just to tell him that I won it

I don`t own a car , you don`t see me going around moaning at people to walk or use public transport because it pollutes the atmosphere.

What I meant was that I appreciate it much more when smokers are like you and are comfortable with the realities of what their doing. Appreciating the realities, the negatives and positives of smoking, but not dwelling upon the negatives (I assume this broadly sums up your thoughts, MJ) gets a lot more of my respect than completely refusing to acknowledge the negatives.

I picked "Yea" by accident, people smoking outside means I smell good in the pub, and not like a ten deck of mayfair.

Where I (and lots of other people) come from, a car is essential for every day errands and tasks. What purpose does smoking fulfill again?

Smoking in any restaurants is illegal in my state now, so it's not really a factor. I'm against it, though.

Move to a house closer to your errands and tasks then

Well, seeing as I'm 17 that may be a problem.

Plus, not everything is localized to a particular place where I come from. If you don't live in the city, it's spread out a good deal.

Smoking in most public places has become banned here, which I think is a good idea. I don't have a problem with people who choose to smoke but people who choose not to smoke shouldn't have to put up with having their lungs polluted with unwanted chemicals. It is very unhealthy, and second hand smoke can do terrible things for your lungs. It's fine to say "if they don't want to breathe it in they should go somewhere else" but 1) Why should somebody have to move for a smoker and 2) Sometimes there is nowhere else to move to and you can't escape it.

It also irks me how smokers get smoke breaks in many workplaces but non-smokers don't.
