No the trend is to placate people who are simply offended if they even
see someone smoking a block away.

Or someone who wants to host a cigar dinner, a couple times a year
in a private room at a restaurant. You don't like it, just don't go.
But that isn't good enough for the zealots. They demand that everyone
be tolerant to others based on every kooky conceivable situation, but
they are the least tolerant of all.

South Park has a good episode on tolerance. Parents force the kids to go
to a tolerance museum, where they are shown the evils of intolerance,
eg using racial slurs, stereotypes of Mexicans as lazy, Asian as smart,
etc. Then when the parents and tolerance museum people walk outside
there is a guy 30 ft away who's smoking a cigarette. They all immediately
viciously attack him for smoking.
