Plus if non smokers dont want to breathe in second hand smoke the solution is fairly obvious no? Get out of the smoking area, or is just that smokers sharing the same oxegen as you what you find offensive?

But if I sat in a restaraunt, was shooting up heroin and then was going around shooting everyone else up with a little bit of my lovely heroin, those people wouldn't be happy would they? Why should cigarette's be any different? BEcause you can buy them in a shop?
Logical Fallacy wrote: » lol, that is the most awesome metaphor of second hand smoke i have seen to date. "Second hand smoke - it's just like having a junkie inject heroin into you". Are you sure you haven't been checking out Bill Hicks videos?:D In all seriousness i am completely seeing where you are coming from , were i a non smoker I wouldn't much like people smoking in my face either...but you seem to be completely unwilling to appreciate that in the circumstances described by the OP the management of the property need to be held more accountable than the smokers, who may be genuinely under the impression that they are in a designated smoking area.

I just ask where the 'smoking area' is when I enter a premises or I follow the signs, safe in the knowledge that only the illiterate or challenged non smokers will be able to figure out where the SMOKING AREA is too. But even the illiterate and challenged will generally know what that area is, what with the delicious smell of nicotine hanging around in whitish wisps and the white stick like things in people mouths. In my life, if I don't like what somebody is doing, I move away from them, I don't seek them out or confront them. People with no joy in their lives generally shorten my life so I move away from them to. Must always avoid anything that shortens my life.

Hicks died of pancreatic cancer in 1994 at the age of 32.
Cigarette smoking has a risk ratio of 1.74 with regard to pancreatic cancer; a decade of nonsmoking after heavy smoking is associated with a risk ratio of 1.2.[16]
