Cara - what I would like to add is that if you choose to smoke then it is your right to do so.Who are we to impose laws on others without them having a right to object or vote to repeal such laws.In my own country a pub is where you go to have a pint and meet people,if some of them smoke then it is only a reflection of the society we live in.If I was to object - then what am I doing there in the first place.The laws were not introduced due to health issues - don't belive that for a moment,they were introduced so as to prevent the local authorities from being sued in court for negligence...need we say more. Don't try mask the smell for those 'spontaneous smooches' instead enjoy the smooch - your partner already knows you smoke... If you can accept when there is a wrong time to do something - then naturally you will avoid it (smoking into sombodies face as an example)And if you really believed what your smoking is wrong then you will stop.But right now it sounds as if you are enjoying it - so go for it,meet that smoocher and smooch away. Marion - cop on to reality !
