Lol
That wasn't what I was getting at... I'm trying to express the feeling that you get as a non-smoker when you find yourself among smokers and you start to think that they sense your disapproval.

Do you not
get that slightly bad "spoiler" feeling if you find yourself having to express a distaste for it? It immediately creates something of a barrier with some people and it's not always easy to tell who will be like that beforehand.

well
perhaps you should stop being so sanctimonious and judgemental.

People don't have a right to inflict their passive smoke on you, but you've got no basis on which to equate smoking with bad moral character.

I don't like people who look down on others for any reason. You don't like smoking and you don't see why people do it. It's a personal preference, not a universal rectitude. I don't like football and I don't see why people watch it - that doesn't mean I'm right and they're wrong.

In this vein, I would love it if they banned passive football in pubs.

Mmm
I don't actually think that way about smokers (obviously), but I get a sudden panic that they'll think that I think that if they find out that I don't smoke or have to object to their smoking in my presence.

Never mind. Smoking is banned pretty much everywhere now, anyway. And if you've seen the damage it causes close up, you'll know why.
