Doesn't take much rationalization....if someone is smoking in their backyard, and the smoke is blown in the direction of people in the yard next door, those people suffer.

What about when someone starts up their Hummer and the exhaust is blown in the direction of a neighbor's home? What is the law doing about those victims of air pollution?

This whole thing is just silly.

If people were a little more conscientious, such laws wouldn't have to be considered.

That isn't the same as having to endure second hand smoke on your own property at home.

I know!! They could pass a law making it illegal to DRIVE through the toll booths. People will be required to turn off the engine before the booth, put the car in neutral, and push it until they are passed the booth.

Only after the vehicle is fifteen feet* away from the booth can the engine be restarted (*distance may vary depending on wind conditions).

I smoke, however I can see Joe's point too...consideration.

Surely there has to be a middleground though I'm not sure exactly what it would be in this type of situation...if the wind vane faces this way, light up?

I just don't know.

(although holier-than-thou's come in all forms)

What about the holier-than-thou-ex-smokers?

Davis tried this but it didn't fly there. If it didn't pass in Davis, it won't pass in Rocklin.

Agreed! I just think they're all around...I've seen it go both ways.

There's no worse a smoking critic than an ex-smoker. I know, I am one and I used to be the worst smoking critic but then about 10 years after quitting I had a dream and I was taking a drag on a Winston and woke had an intense craving for a cigarette. Now I go after people wearing heavy perfume and cologne !

Regarding second hand smoke , there are many smokers who deny the effects of their errors and transfer
illogical sentiments towards evolutionary processes.
