Like I said before, "Light-em-if-ya-got-em Bro":) injoy......

This proposed rollback of the no smoking law has zero chance of getting past the Governor. You are right that the percentage of Asians who smoke is higher than the USA but Asians, as a group (not living in the US), are also very respectful of other peoples feelings, laws and culture. I really have no problem with people smoking in bars because I can choose not to go there, but other public places that are frequented by everyone and their children should be smoke free.

If there is a smoking area and you do not smoke or like smoke, avoid it. If you decide to sit in a smoking area then you have to put up with it.

If a person lights up in a no smoking area, then you a have a reason to tell him (or the manager) that it is a non-smoking area.

Most, if not all outside dining areas are smoking areas.

BTW: I do not smoke but I understand why others do and respect it.
