Yes! Smoking bans in public places are a good thing. The air belongs to
all of us -- THE PEOPLE. You have no right to foul it.

Hey, it's my air too. If you don't like it, then stand somewhere else.

Actually, I agree with you, but I do at least admit that it's ethically
inconsistent to do so.

burning of leaves in the autumn GRIN

I still get to burn my ditches and fields, thank God.
