One-- I am not sure he was smoking tobacco. He might have had an e-cigarette. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireS...ettes-23641802 http://youtu.be/U81x8t2iMhw

Two-- He was the only person sitting near me so he would know I turned him in to the management. I do not like creating personal grudge matches unless there is nothing else to do.

Three-- I do not have a problem with smokers. Live and let live unless the second hand smoke starts getting into my lungs. Of course, I would have had a huge problem if he started a fire as I was the only person sitting behind him and would have needed to get past the fire. There's no exit at the top the auditorium. At least not in Auditorium 5 which is where they play 3-D movies at the Old Mill Playhouse.

I wanted to alert the Old Mill Playhouse management and audience members on TOTV about this person as it would seem if he likes movies and has a smoking addiction he has done this before and will probably do it again unless he reads TOTV and knows people are looking for his smoking.

Four-- if they have video surveillance in the Old Mill Playhouse then alerting them about this would I hope make them look at the recordings so they would have evidence of this person's smoking. They could then refuse him entry into the movie theater if he smoked tobacco.

Five-- I went there to see The Amazing Spider Man II and not to get embroiled in some kind of drama. Reporting this man would have ruined the movie for everyone else in the auditorium especially because of recent events in movie theaters about complaints about the actions of various audience members. I did have a problem with just seeing cigarette smoke in some 3-D scenes where it did not belong. I was very curious about whether or not this happens at other Villages' movie showings.
