Ol' Smokey, I still smoke a little myself, but really, it's one thing to say customers can come or go, but the staff have little choice - jobs aren't lightly given up.

My younger sister has mild asthma. She's also extremely accommodating and hates to inconvenience anyone, especially her big sister. Years ago, while visiting in winter, I asked if she minded if I had a cigarette by the slightly open window, and she said 'sure'. Ten minutes later, I could hear the breath just wheezing in her lungs. I was horrified, and have never lit up anywhere near her since, certainly not indoors.

I can fill my own home with smoke if it so pleases me. There's no good reason for me to force other people to put up with it.
