And I agree that most laws against smokers have gone too far - there are places where it isn't even allowed to smoke inside your own home, let alone in your own yard. They act as if even homeopathic doses (and we all know just how minute that is) are lethal.
When it was just businesses complying with customer requests, long before it was law, there was sensibility in handling it. Non-smokers didn't hang out where the smokers were, and smokers refrained from smoking when hanging out with their non-smoking friends and family members. No one abused anyone over it, or forced smokers from their desks to a small back room to outside to nowhere at all because there's room in this world for all of us to engage in enjoyable activities. I'd say "enjoyable legal activities" but anymore just about everything is illegal - can't smoke, can't be fat, can't be ugly, can't dress confortably...can't just live your own life without others getting all offended by it.
