but thenso do the anti-smoking fanatics.
as far as I can see the agreed facts by actual real life people I've met are:
1) some people like it and want to do it
2) some people think it smells awful and it annoys them.
3) you can't get the smell out of your clothes/eyes/hair easily
4) it's not particularly healthy
so yes, people shouldn't have it inflicted on them needlessly. Nor should people be denied the option to do it, but there's no defence against the perfectly reasonable request to go outside while you do it. Or to a special room or something, with suitable ventilation.

I agreeI have no problem if people want to smoke (although I still think that it is obviously not the best thing to do) but the arguament that I shouldn't go to a pub if I don't want breathe it in a smell of it really pisses me off.
Surely the arguament should be the other way around.
Anyway the smokers can moan all they like, they will still be freezing their arses off outside come November.
