That was the case with my father also. Decades after he quit, he said
he would go back to smoking if he had one.

I'm on vacation also and paying the same amount. Why should I have to
hide or have an asthma attack because of what they do?

Dear Nonnymus,
As long as they don't impact my personal
enjoyment, people can do whatever they want to do
that is legal and I don't give a darn.
Cheers,

All of which is sadly true but doesn't diminish the fact when 2nd hand
smoke became a killer, smokers for the majority did little to nothing to
self-patrol. Think of that.

First, it was intuitive (50s), then it was relatively certain (60s), then
is was undenibly a fact (70s)...now here we are in the next century and the
killers still bitch.

Tuff to quit, yeppers. Do I care, yeppers, sorry for you. Excuse? Not in a
lifetime, killers.

I don't killfile anybody. I mark them as time-wasting idiots who need to
take a breath and reconsider their Usenet actions.

To elaborate, my suggestion is that before posting you should give your
head a shake to determine if there is anything inside and to consider
whether you really wished to make the fact public.

Same for me. It has been 20 years since I quit but once in a while when I
am driving or when playing cards, I'll still reach for the pack of
cigarettes that I used to keep in my shirt pocket.

Old habits die hard.

Yeah Charles! And then let's go after smelly people and little
kids!!! Both fit the nuisance category, although I don't think
smelly-ness alone constitutes a safety problem, but little children on
balconies certainly qualifies! And THEN let's get those morons who
OD on cologne or perfume - MAN! That's a nuisance for sure! And
while we're at it... ugly people should be banned as well. Who wants
to see a boat full of ug-o's go by?

And my high school had a designated smoking area! I remember smoking
in grocery stores and movie theaters, and I certainly don't think I'm
"old" - times are changing fast!

Still a relative power struggle. The smoker could be considerate also
and go where the rest want to go and just adjust to the restrictions.
I don't think there are many ships which totally prohibit smoking.

I can remember being in restaurants and having people holding
cigarettes so that is was constantly blowing on me. Then when I
politely asked to hold it differently getting smoke blown at me.
