I agree that second hand smoke, especially cigar smoke is disgusting. But smokers have rights as well and we need to accommodate them. What if someone objected to the "noise" from the bands. We would tell them to go where it is not so loud.
I would support limiting the smoking areas even further but it would be a hardship for some Villagers to have no place to go. Many folks down here have been smoking for 50 or more years and would find it very hard to quit.
