I don't understand the problem with second hand smoke. I live out in the country. Someone walks by smoking a cig and I smell it. No problem. A diesel truck drives by and I'm gagging, feeling nauseous. Aren't fireplaces, wood burning stoves just as bad? What about oil burning furnaces? Those are okay?

Why are people so sensitive to cig smoke when there are much worse scents around? Are they used to them and can't distinguish them? Asphalt on a hot day is awful.

Maybe some scientists should lock themselves in a garage with 3 diesel trucks running for 30 minutes. Compare the results to second hand smoke.

I get headaches and nausea when I am in proximity to heavy perfumes.

I keep looking for the “Fragrance Free” zones in restaraunts and public buildings, to no avail.

INDOCTRINATION!

A grudge match?

Whatever the underlying cause, it's turned into a "first they came for the smokers..." matter. The Goreites are using the same tricks that the anti-smoking activists pioneered.

I SO agree!! The people next door have a diesel vehicle at times (I think it's a work truck), and I have to close all the doors and windows if they're idling it outside. The neighbors across the street sit and smoke on their front porch and I can't smell it.

I voted against all the smoking bans in AZ, I don't drink or smoke or go to bars but this is getting ludicrous.

Because they have been told to be so sensitive to tobacco. We have a nation of sheeple.
