Well, if we ignore the obvious trolling and prejudice, cigarette
smoke makes a lot of people with breathing problems cough very badly.
I think this is the main issue. Except in very smoky confined spaces,
I'm guessing that the cancer risk from other people's smoke is pretty
minimal, but those particulates can be very troubling for some. Any
smoke is air pollution, regardless of what's being burnt.
The smoker's attitude.'It's legal and therefore I can do it. If it
pollutes your airspace, .... tough'
The non smokers attitude. I don't like it so I want it banned
everywhere, if that restricts personal choice - tough.
I think you mistake some non-smokers with all non-smokers.
Some of the legislation is stupid: if I give someone a lift in my car on
behalf of a charity, I need to display a "No Smoking" sign in the car.
Entirely fair.
However, if I go on a job with my smoking mate, in the van I own,
technically its illegal. My van, we are both smokers.
