The argument you present is about your own comfort, so why is your comfort more important than the smokers?
Actually, the argument myself and many others present is for one's own health, rather than one's own comfort. I know this is a bit of an extreme example, but I'm not forcing people to let me carve runes in their flesh, why should I be forced to have my lungs tarred up from second-hand smoke and potentially my breathing stopped due to allergies?
I don't see anything wrong with having smoking / non smoking designated areas to accommodate both groups.
Yeah, I don't have any issue with designated smoking areas, as long as people specifically smoke there and not anywhere else.
Your mild allergy has suddenly escalated to a life threatening allergy? I won't deny the risks of second hand smoke, though i haven't seen a report that accounted for being outside.
When this happens and we ban smoking outside, where will we put these smoking areas? Who will pay for it? How many does there need to be? How far should smokers have to go from their home or work to get to a designated area before it becomes an unreasonable inconvenience?
You may not smoke, you may not know anyone that smokes, but that doesn't mean there aren't still a lot of smokers in the country. The argument you present is about your own comfort, so why is your comfort more important than the smokers? What do you expect? Everyone doing something you don't care for should do it in secret?
