It is about time. There is nothing worse than someone else's second hand smoke to ruin a meal for my family. My dad smoked from about 15 years old (around 1939) until he retired at age 62. Little did we, or anyone, while growing up in the 50's and 60's, realize the dangers in second hand smoke. The smell of a smoker's home furnishings, their clothes, and such should have tipped us off. But while dad smoked I remember not noticing it as much, I guess because it was on all things around me and on me. Luckily, he got off without the big "C". But my mom recently died of cancer. Could it have been second hand? Maybe, according to the Oncologist. A friend who has quit noted after several months how much he could "smell" the other smokers now. He related that if he had known how badly he smelled while smoking, it might have inspired him to quit sooner. Lastly, I can never understand how a smoker can't control themselves enough to go about one hour in to a restaurant, eat a meal, and then leave, returning to their own car or home to smoke. Many claim their "right" to smoke, but for myself and my family, we claim our right to "breathe" clean air. We don't want your smell with our meal.
