I remember when I was a kid going to eat at Denny's when they allowed people to smoke inside the restaurant.  I never thought it was a smell I wanted in my car as an airfreshener but I wasn't thinking up of ideas on how to ban it from every public place I might want to go that day.  As far as the no smoking ban has come in this country to no smoking on certain sidewalks or beaches it feels a little like discrimination.  I don't tell people to stop doing anything just because I don't like it.  Personally I think the smell of cigarettes is quite terrible, but I will never want to stop and tell someone to go smoke somewhere else.   How about any time I see people kiss in public I tell them to do it somewhere else, simply because I don't like public displays of affection?  How about I tell people that are over eaters to eat somewhere else because I am a normal eater and they disgust me? We should all be able to use public areas regardless of our beliefs on nicotine
