At any rate...in my case, I probably have asthma now and really have difficulty with any kind of smoke--be it from a fire-pit, a golf cart or a smoker. For me it's about being able to breath and of course health. Just walking past these places is hard. The original poster has the right to sit where he wants to and he was also correct in saying that the smoker was inconsiderate (evidently he didn't ask permission to light up..which is what he could have done). I can sort of see both sides in that there is a "right" to be had. But seriously folks to disparage the poster...just doesn't make sense to me.
The smoker was inconsiderate????...and had an obligation to "ask" permission to light up? Don't you get it? The smoker had every right to light up...s/he was sitting in a legal smoking area. The non smoker had no grounds for complaint! Geesh!
