As an occasional smoker I try to be really mindful of the fact that other people don't like smoke. In fact, I can't believe we used to be able to smoke in the cinema, the tube!! and on the top deck of buses.. it seems unbelievable now. And, somewhat madly, I don't even like designated smoking areas because they are generally too smoky! However, I think that banning smoking outside is a step too far: other countries where outside dining is more usual have a far more tolerant attitude to smoking. You had a bad experience I think because three people puffing away in a tight outside space really effected your space, but if it had been say one smoker with tables widely spaced in a larger outside area it probably wouldn't upset you at all - you'd barely notice. So, it's down to smokers being more mindful, I think.britishbeautybloggerhttp://www.britishbeautyblogger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989119755430326066.post-45541325140299398772012-03-31T09:18:00.342+01:002012-03-31T09:18:00.342+01:00I totally agree with you. It's so annoying. I ...I totally agree with you. It's so annoying. I get people smoke, I get they no longer can do it insider, but there should be an area like 1 mile away for them or something...xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267070389067155584noreply@blogger.com
