Larry I often agree with you but on this issue I do not. I am an ex-smoker and so is my trouble and strife, but I really find the puritanism of the non-smokers rather off-putting, and that's as politely as I can say it. We laugh at Baroness Young and her views on banning sex outside marriage. No-one would dream of banning the fat from eating unwisely. Please get tolerant of the foibles of others. By all means expect some consideration from smokers - but that does not mean ghettoising them - and give them some consideration too. Your way on this lies the Brave New World!
