That's personal choice that does NOT affect other people. Nothing wrong with having a little flutter !!

Carol no one denies smoking is a dirty habit,some people enjoy smoking others find it too hard to stop.Odds are you drive a car,Possibly because sometimes you have to, other times because you want to, the fumes that pour out are obnoxious to people walking. I am not saying dont drive your car because it is a filthy habit,but you should try to live and let live

I'm all for letting people live and let live so you say, but I strongly object when smokers ruin my evenings out by letting their smoke waft all over myself and other people who are trying to enjoy a meal outside with friends and trying to breath in fresh air !!

I must say that I was extremely pleased when the Law was finally past here in Spain for smoking to be completely banned in the bars/restaurants. However, it is such a shame that the ban didn't extend - as originally was suggested - to no smoking allowed within 50 metres of a Venue. I completely agree with Carol - why should one have to put up with smoke when one is trying to enjoy a nice meal outside. I do hope that eventually this 50 metres restriction will also come in to operation, but this is, after all, Spain.....

This could go on and on,so my last words on the subject is the smoker does not intentionally go out of their way to spoil your eveningand you are right I cant stand people smoking near me while i am eating,because the smell actually spoils the taste of the food,I notice more and more smokers leave the perimeter of places to have a cigarette without upsetting people sitting near by,given time this may turn out to be the norm.but when that happens you may well start smelling the fumes of cars going by your outdoor eating establishments,and breathing in there carsonogenic poison.
You have an option of if to eat inside in clean fresh air conditions or take a chance on eating outside and taking a chance of having some inconsiderate person smoking near you.It was only a few months ago when you didnt even have that choice,as people could smoke inside as well as outside restaurants.Who knows when the laws will change making it illegal to smoke within a certain distance of the perimeters of an eating establishment
