Zina is so right! There is something noxious about cig smoke - it only takes a little bit and everything stinks of it. I can smell it from a block or more away if the wind is blowing my way.
What is it about tobacco smoke that just stinks so badly? Campfire smoke doesn't offend me.
If someone were to smoke for even a minute in my apartment without me there, and I came home the next day, I guarantee you I would be able to smell it on my sofa, my pillows, my towels. It is that vile.
I am NOT for govt regulating everything. However, there are laws to pick up your dog's poo. There are laws against littering. There are restrictions against wearing perfume in certain places (Dr. Offices, certain work places). I believe the rights of non smokers and freedoms need to be defended every bit as the freedom of smokers.
Cig smoke does NOT only affect the smoker. It affects everyone around them who DOES NOT want to smell and breathe it.
THAT, I feel, is why I don't mind regulations.
