another consideration for eating out side is traffic fumes,nowt worse than traffic fumes.
So, that makes it ok to puff toxic smoke at me? I don't think so......

toxic fumes from passing traffic is the same.

AS a smoker I am happy to
a) not smoke when others are eating (always been this way because it is polite)
b) dispose of my butts sensibly and correctly (I was brought up properly too)
Now can you non smokers (and smokers if it applies)please do the following for me
1. if you eat meat brush your teeth before speaking to me, or at least eat a mint, as a veggie I hate the smell of meat
2. please dont fart near me in the pub, bus, train etc - it is disgusting
3. if you eat garlic or celery - see 1
4. if you drink please do not breath on me - I am teetotal and find the smell of sour alcohol nauseating
5. If you drink DO NOT get in a car

seems to be all about personal taste, as a drinker i don't like the smell on someone else and they probably don't like it on me.

Ross.
As a non smoker that repects others views, I can comply with some of your wishes, some I dont do, so no need to comply.
Very rarely eat meat, can't afford it.
Don't Fart in front of friends.
Dont eat garlic or celery.
If a do drink, I always use Taxi's

I think Folkestone have had a similar policy for a few years now.
Ross - that was superb! Absolutely. Smoking is no different to the other courtesies: it is all about - good manners are those that enable others to feel comfortable, bad manners make others feel uncomfortable.
Memo to self: curtail the public farting habit forthwith ..........

Bern is quite right - litter seen somewhere only produces more litter - it breeds rapidly !!

Some years ago I was in a cafe in central London in the middle of the afternoon having a late lunch. It was a fairly large cafe and I was the only customer. Having finished my meal I lit a cigarette and settled back to read my paper. While I was enjoying my after-meal cigarette a 'gentleman' came in, got himself a sandwich and, ignoring every other empty table, came and sat at mine. As soon as he sat down he said, "do you mind not smoking while I eat". I fairly politely said that I did and that I also objected to him eating while I smoked. True story.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.
