I'm not a smoker; nor am I a fascist.  On the infrequent occasions when I
spend time in alcohol establishments, I expect to be inundated with smoke.
Part of the reason that I so infrequently go to such places, however, as well
as the reason that I detest smoking (a reason I'm AMAZED no one else has
brought up) is that cigarette smoke in sufficient quantity doesn't just annoy
me--it makes me physically SICK!  I get headaches and nausea when I am in a
smoky room for a long time, or when I am around a filled ashtray for a short
time.  A filled ashtray is an assault on at least two senses (optical and
olfactory), not to mention its actual sickening ability; that alone would seem
reason to avoid smoking like the plague it is.
