No-one's forcing you to stop smoking. What are you talking about John?
The law is catching up with smoking in public places. Places where nonsmokers have had to endure smokers inconsideration for years now.
Planes, trains, and now bars are gradually becoming places where those of us ALERGIC to tobacco, no longer have to avoid, or endure smoke under duress.
Why should I have to give up singing in public because people don't have the courtesy to not smoke around non smokers?
Most smokers just don't give a shyt. I've seen smokers blow smoke over people (who don't have a cigarette) like they hold them in disdain, Which they don't. Many don't ask. I am so appreciative when a smoker ASKS if I mind if they smoke near me. Frighteningly rare though.
So now, finally smokers are forced to be considerate of others. If you want a cig, smoke at home, outside, in private, just not around nonsmokers or in public places where your choice to smoke overrides the nonsmokers choice not to.
