One interesting point I read is the comment someone made about how smokers lose their sensitivity to the cigarette smell. I think that's true. I think the avergae smoker would be very surprised at what distance a non smoker can smell the smoke. I think realistically , 15 or 20 feet is a fair distance for a smoker to give someone for relief. There are days when the air is very still that even that you can smell it strongly But in general , if people leave about 20 feet , that's reasonable.


I also don't think that smokers understandf that cigarette smoke doesn't just smell. For me it makes my nose run , my sinuses swell up , and since my heart attack , I actually get a tight chest in a place with lots of smoke. I've had to stop going to many places I once enjoyed in favor of more smoke free places.

Anyway , the point is is not just sticking our noses into other peoples business or trying to take away anyones right to smoke. Cigarette smoke really bothers some people , far more than just the smell.
