Agreed. Last thing I’d want is to inhale some other a$$hats smoke because the ventilation system is inadequate. I never approved of it in public transportation, the workplace, or any other similarly situated place. I puff regularly on ceegars, and do not impose that on others.

“Once the stink of cigarette smoke is in clothing and furniture, it’s there forever. Had a doctors appointment a few years ago and he asked me how much I smoked because he could smell it on my clothes. I told him I didn’t smoke. By the look he gave me I could tell he didn’t believe me.”

I can only assume that you did not have the presence of mind to explain the situation.

BTW, you don’t have a great belief in personal liberty, now do you?

I am 70. My parents and grandparents smoked, as did everyone, everywhere, as you say. I do not recall any stench,


Of course you didn’t notice it because you were so used to it. People who don’t bathe for a month don’t notice their stench, either.

Smokers are the ones who don’t believe in personal liberty.

No, they are exercising what used to quaintly be considered a right to personal behavior. You, and others like you, don’t want them to do what they do, and, as always, want to call in the police powers of the government to stop them. That, ma’am, is what I and others on this thread have been trying to point out to you. To no avail. Your mind is closed.

It is your mind that is closed, ma’am.
