- Yes. I object violently to people smoking in such a fashion so as to force
- me to partake of their habit. But:
-
- 1) I don't mind if you do it in your home
- 2) I don't mind if you exhibit "smokers behavior" in public
- 3) I wouldn't mind you smoking in public if I had to watch you doing it BUT
- as long as you keep your smoke off of my body.

- Using your analogy for homosexuals;
-
- 1) I don't mind what they do in their homes
- 2) I don't mind them exhibiting "gay traits" in public
- 3) I wouldn't mind them kissing, etc., in public, as long as they don't
- grab my tushy.

- (My rule of thumb is; if I wouldn't mind seeing a male/female couple doing
- this in public, why should I care if two females or two males do it?)
