Also, don't bullshit me with this "non-smoking section" crap. It doesn't work. Ever. The rest of us can still smell it. I can't count the number of times I've been on the other side of a 3.5 ft wall from the smoking section, no more than 4 feet from a guy smoking like a damned chimney.

I know its not fair. It sucks. There is no "fair" option. But you have a choice. Go to an establishment that doesn't allow smoking.

At a Planet get together last year we all went to a Pizzeria in Lee's Summit. Most were not aware that you couldn't smoke in the pizzeria. So Bob Dole and others spent a lot of time outside smoking and decided to move the party to BBW where they could smoke.
