there seems to be a deeper issue at hand here, it seems that every one has an oppinion that they belive to be the right one. I belive that non-smokers have the right to not have to be exposed to the smoke. I also belive that smokers have the right to light up if they want. So how do you accomplish all this, by having some common courtiousy for other people. If you dont want to be around the smoke get the hell out of the area if you are in an enclosed area ask the person lighting up to please not smoke because it bothers you. Do it in a dignified way and I will bet you wont have any problems. If you are a smoker try asking if any one minds before you light up. I have seen many times in the past where people that dont want to be around the smoke will either leave or just tolerate it because the person had enough common sense to just ask. The long and short of it is realy simple my oppinion is just that my oppinion it doesnt mean squat your oppinion is your oppinion and it don't mean squat. What does matter is how we handle ourselves when our oppinions differ.
