That was exactly the point I was trying to make but apparently failed. Why should a smoker's right to smoke outside override my right to enjoy a meal outside. There needs to be some compromise and you can smoke a cigarette outside without offending people if you are only aware of what you are doing. Be conscious of which way the wind is blowing and for goodness sake don't put it in the ashtray to burn unattended. I was a 3 pack a day for many, many years and was always conscious of the people around. It's just a simple courtesy.
