I’ve noticed since moving from a car-centric city to a pedestrian one that smokers on the sidewalk are suddenly on my radar. I have found my strategies for avoiding second-hand smoke – walk fast, walk slow or cross the street. Still I fantasize of breathing free when running my errands. I know others share my dream of limiting exposure to environmental smoke, as this is a pretty impressive list of cities which ban smoking in their parks: http://www.no-smoke.org/pdf/SmokefreeParks.pdf.
Don’t get me wrong: I am not rabidly anti-smoking. I do get it – life has so few pleasures and you're being chased into smaller and smaller venues to enjoy one of the few that remain. Would it be possible to have a respectful discussion in which we could find win/win solutions that accommodate smokers’ ability to light up and non-smokers rights to not breath their second-hand smoke? I’d be especially interested in hearing from those who live in cities or towns with restrictive outdoor smoking ordinances – how has that worked for you smokers and non-smokers alike? Do any of your cities or towns go as far as limiting smoking on sidewalks, and how has that worked?
I am completely in favor of such restrictions and more.
Heck, if I started burning incense or started creating some other offensive stench analgous to the stench of a smoker, they would be the first demanding I stop.
To smokers I say, keep you filthy stinking stench to your filthy stinking selves.

One man's trash is another man's treasure; I know a fair amount of people who actually rather like the smell of smoke.

Sure, and I know dozens of people, who love having headaches and burning pain in their lungs. Did I say dozens, I meant thousands. Most are especially fond of the headache - real fun.

Get a clue, and keep your filth to yourself.
hahahaha, i'll make sure to blow an extra thick cloud your way
I thought I'd add perfume....you know what I mean......those folks that take a bath in cologne and/or perfume....you can smell them for blocks.
It clogs your sinues.....can trigger a headache/migraine and it just lingers upon your olfactory sensors........and lasts well after you've moved away from the person in question.
I say to the OP.........let's have a "modest" proposal.......OUTLAW all the people who wear perfume/cologne outdoors.....on city sidewalks........within city limits......
Ahhhhh.......now I feel superior to everyone else because IF I don't like something.......I demand that it be made illegal.......for the world revolves around ME!!!!!.
I think I made my point! Write your Senators and Congressman.....this is important in the scheme of things.....perfume free sidewalks for all!.

Start a thread. I doubt you'll get as much support as this proposal has gotten.
So typical of a nicotine addict. However, you are aware, aren't you, of the payment in full for such an action?
I'll give you a clue, it involves pepper spray, lots of pepper spray
lol yes that'll hold up well in court
"Sir you are being charged with assault, how do you plead?"
"Not guilty your honor, I sprayed the victim with pepper spray because he blew smoke in my direction."

I see my sarcasm went right over that point on top of your head.
