I also seldom eat out anymore. Smoker's do longer have any rights in this

Sure, you've got plenty of rights. Smoke all you want, burn your lungs out,
it's none of my business. Just don't do it where it bothers me when I'm
going about my business.

I admit it, I used to smoke. I quit some thirty years ago. Now, the odour of
cigarettes and the smell of nicotine comes close to making me physically
sick. I'm not being hypocritical, it's none of my business what you smoke,
what you eat or what you do in your life as long as it doesn't have an
effect on my life. But when it does, how do you think it should be handled?
My going out and eating in a restaurant doesn't affect you at all. You going
out and eating in the same restaurant and smoking does affect me. What's
your solution?

It may cost the restaurant some money, but it is possible to have a vent
system that would draw the smoke out and keep it from the non-smokers. But
even then there are non-smokers that would complain no matter what the
situation. When smoking was allowed in restaurant's, there was many times
that I seen the non-smoking area filled, so a non-smoker couple would take
a place in the smoking area and sit there and complain about the smoke the
whole time. When a group of people want something, they will do anything
to get what they want, so matter how many lies it takes.
