As a person with severe Asthma, I appreciate the smokefree businesses but I agree that banning smoking in outdoor areas is wrong. My workplace is smokefree inside but there are outdoor smoking areas and I am free to avoid them. My asthma is triggered by cigarette smoke and my pulmonary specialist says that I could have a fatal attack if confined indoors where people are smoking.

It's my choice to never patronize businesses that allow smoking. I'm not talking about businesses that have smoking areas because those don't work. If there isn't a notice on the door that the establishment is smokefree, I don't go in. That is my choice. I would never consider supporting a law to force private businesses to ban smoking on their property.

Now, finally, a topic I can get smoked about. I quit smoking cigarettes about 30 years ago but have been smoking cigars for about 4 months, one a day, good quality hand rolled Fuentes. My current favorite is Gran Reservo.
There is an emotional satisfaction in smoking that goes well beyond nicotine's addictive nature. Part of that satisfaction is akin to punching certain puritans in the nose. Another aspect is the pure enjoyment of a fine cigar.
There are lots of ways to kill oneself. Determining one's destiny should remain sacrosanct in a free society. There is nothing high minded or superior about those who condemn others for their personal choices. I would much rather work alongside the smokers I know than the prissy prudes who wrinkle their noses at a whiff of tobacco smoke. Anti-this-that-and-the-other-thing zealots must be made outcasts. Getting their noses out of joint by smoking a cigar has become a joyously serendipitous pastime.
