[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 670588, member: 9"] This is a perfect example, Hills, why I avoid being around the anti-smokers. Another reason why I live in the country and can do as I please here. Yes, I avoid trying to smoke in prohibited places when I have to go into them (grocery store, bank, post office, etc.): The half-life of nicotine is approximately 2 hours...plenty of time to "do your shopping" before you have to have another nicotine fix...lol. The anti-smoking crowd (for whatever their reasons, and I respect those reasons) is the "new generation". Those of us that grew up in the 40's, 50's, 60's, etc., smoked (men and women). With some exceptions, we will not alter our lifestyle to be "accepted" and all (non-disgusting, non-stinking, etc.) to please the anti-smokers. This is our right and privilege to participate in our own vice, in our own space (granted there are some jerks that impose their smoke on others in close quarters). At least, probably vast majority of smokers don't snort cocaine, smoke crack, and other highly illegal products. Most of us addicted smokers are in our 60's, 70's, and 80's. We are satisfied with our lives (with some exceptions). FYI (and others), Yes...I refrain from smoking around my customers and visitors. If I do lite up outside, I stay downwind and several feet away from them out of respecting their space... On a sidebar, I am not aware of smokers who go around bashing the overweight, fat people, those that use nauseating perfume or aftershave, those that have obnoxious personalities, those that go around popping their gum, or those that have other "insensitive" behaviors. As my drill sergeant said in Basic Training: "Smoke Em If You Gotta Em" Git Er Done! [/QUOTE]
