I asked the bar person , to ask the gentleman to kindly get rid of that "stinker"

she did so- and he kinda got in my face & said."next time ask me your self"

I asked the bar person to avoid the confrontation-that I suspected would arise.

I don't think your approach was so off base. I find it amazing that when possibly being offensive people take the defensive. Did he really need to approach you semi agressively? I find smokers and some are friends can be touchy about being approached for smoking in public areas. I'm a former smoker and today I wish not to breathe the smell or smoke. Please smoke where it's not a shared experience and I'll keep my dog poop off your lawn.
