I was referring to the old days when smoking was allowed everywhere. Nobody asked for permission.

I was also referring to those days and everybody asked permission..............or at least in the circles my parents,grandparents, and extended family traveled..........I am terribly sorry you were raised amongst such rude people.

And it seems I'm still stuck with rude people. Certainly fits you, Sunshine.

I was referring to PUBLIC places where people smoked.

How many people stood up in your theaters and asked if smoking bothered anybody? How many people in restaurants asked neighboring tables if they would be bothered by smoke?

BTW, in the circles my parents traveled, ladies didn't smoke.
