Drifting clouds of smoke pollution have driven me off the patios at two country clubs in TV. Furthermore, I refuse to walk through a fog of tobacco smoke on a restaurant patio to enter the establishment. The stench sticks to one's clothes and hair. Yuk! Not being able to sit on a restaurant's patio and enjoy a meal due to some nicotine addict generating environmental tobacco smoke is unacceptable to me. Florida needs to update its primitive smoking laws. I have not had to suffer second hand smoke while trying to enjoy a meal in years within the two communities in which I spend the most time.
