There are no indications (other than those invented by lawyers) that reasonable amount of second-hand smoke is harmfull. That said, smoking around nonsmokers
is about as polite as farting. Which reminds me: I was cursed with a company of a co-worker who insisted on wearing something patchouli-derived he called cologne, which to me evoked images of a moldy old mattress left to rot for a year or two in a flooded basement. Now, with all due respect to Doug's fine nose
, this was much worse than a smoker 15 meters upwind.
Being a cigar and pipe smoker, I appeal to all non-smokers to understand that no fine meal is complete without coffee and brandy accompanied by a nice smoke. While most restaurants in Croatia still have decent sections for smokers, global trend is dusturbing
. Come on, people, live and let live!
And finally, there is a saying here: kissing a smoker is similar to licking an ashtray
