One recent example was an individual complaining about having to smell the cigarette smoke fingers of the hairdresser while having his mustache trimmed. My thought was what his mustache was smelling like after having three meals filtered through it along with the appropriate condiments and beverages and having it all nicely spread around with the napkins. Add in the active bacteria in there making it a science experiment, I think the hairdresser should have been wearing a mask and rubber gloves before touching this guy.
As far as smoking on a golf course, it is one of life's pleasures for me. I will do it until those who find it offensive are suceccful in having it banned. Until then, may I respectfully suggest you stay upwind of me if we cross paths on the course. One last comment about those against smoking outdoors (where currently allowed). These compliments come from those who have no problem riding behind gas golf carts all day breathing in all that crap, or having their lawns saturated with chemicals to kill pests and grow grass.

Kannon: I smoked until 1973. I quit for many reasons but the one reason driving me was i felt guilty about stinking up other people's homes, for placing my family in a smoke environment and dirty ashtrays.
I don't like facial hair and shave even if I am not leaving my home.
I drive an electric cart because I also dislike the smell of petro and the loud sound of motors telling me to lead follow or get out of the way.
I have no war on cigarette smokers and have said many of the same things you have and so we are in agreement on many issues.
finally I question the obsession about smoking by politicians/people and wonder why they believe marijuana is OK when it is a bigger health hazard ?
