This is the man who calls those who disagree with HIM "fuzzy headed"...

No!  Consideration?  I'm shocked.  Oh, that's right, we're talking
AFTER you've blown smoke in their faces like a third rate oaf.

I feel that in a bar, known to have non-smokers as well as smokers,
in fact, in ANYWHERE known to have human beings who may not take
kindly to having poison blown in their face voluntarily by you, it
is up to those engaging in the voluntary act of breathing out poison
to refrain.  Simple human rights and consideration.  Real fuzzy headed,
eh, Wheeler?
