    The smokers don't bother me, neither do the alkies. I'd rather walk into the house with a fag butt stuck to my shoe than a lump of sticky chewing gum or dog dirt. That is much worse.

    As a smoker I'm very aware of my envirioment when I smoke

    I wouldn't for instance smoke when in the play park with my grandchildren

    However in an open space such as a beach or park, I would assume others take responsibility for themselves and not sit downwind of me if they hate the smoke so much
