Thanks Johnny! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Now having said that, if I'm fully aware that we are going to a bar, and that people smoke in said bar, then it's my decision to go and my decision to subject myself to second hand smoke. I have that choice.

The real problem is where people don't have a choice in the matter, such as the workplace or so-called public places. I think basically it boils down to the individual smoker recognizing the harmful effects caused by tobacco smoke and second hand smoke to be responsible about the choices they make, and how those choices effect others.

I have a couple of friends who smoke, but when we go out they don't smoke around the rest of us who don't, they step outside even though there may be others who are smoking in the same bar. I know it's far fetched and will never happen but it's the only real solution to the problem.
