i sometimes wish there was a way to drive a stake into the heart of a thread.
this is one of them.
i cannot imagine anyone caring about the sanctimonious lather folk who are offended at one level of another by the idea of smoking can work themselves into. it does not function to persuade anyone who sokes to reconsider their actions; it says nothing about the issues that may be involved with second-hand smoke; it says nothing about anything, frankly--but it does allow folk who choose for whatever curious reason to route their dislike of cigarette smoke through the tedious language of morality to vent.
perhaps it would be better to pose such questions as a kind of kvetch thread for people who hate cigarette smoke. there is obviously no serious intention of engendering a dialogue. the frame of the op--despite the lame protestations concerning "respect for rights"--doesnt allow for it.
