Yeh, calm down???
The point is that, ( ignoring health effects ) for most non smokers, being forced to breath someone else's smoke is about as pleasant as being forced to breath someone else's really foul farts continuously.
If I sat next to you in a confined space constantly passing the most foul and smelly farts imaginable- don't you think you might get a little upset.... just a little.
Yet smokers don't seem to realze just how objectionable their smoke is...
They also don't seem (or don't want) to realize that stubbing their butts out on the sidewalk is littering.
I think I have every right to get upset about it all.
The other night I was in a pleasant little bar with about a dozen people. (mostly pilots and spouses) We were having an enjoyable and quiet drink/discussion, when in came three smokers who all lit up... one a cigar.
Every single one of our group hated the smoke.... and so ten minutes later we moved on. Nothing was said to the smokers as it's "their right to smoke"! Maybe I should be allowed to take a cannister of rotten egg gas into a bar or restaurant and let it off!- my "right!"
I think I'd be abused and chucked out- what's the difference?
