Losing money because of smoking

Just went to Bernardi to look at some cars. Drove around the lot so I could look and finish my smoke enough that I could put it out before a salesperson approached us. I parked the car and headed for the showroom and didn't see a bucket or any other type of container to dispose properly of my cigarette. Then I notice a sign on the door that informed me that they are a "smoke free campus for the comfort and heath of their employees". This sent me into orbit and I just turned and walked back to the car and left.
It is one thing to not allow smoking indoors but outdoors in a parking lot, please. Then too top it off and not even have a receptacle for a smoker to properly dispose of their cigarette or cigar, thats just plain rude. They will never see a dime from me even when I do over come my crappy addiction. They lost a potential sale, we need to buy a vehicle, it's not an option, and has to occur soon. Not from any of their dealerships; all because of lack of tolerance/compassion. They can go F_ themselves.
What is it with people. I am not saying smoking is a positive thing but please, it's not as bad as many people think or have been propagandized into believing.
How can you explain people who smoked their whole lives never having an issue directly associated to smoking? There are people who live to be 100 or more that smoked for 30-50-70 years and they die of some other cause, how can you explain that? How old was George Burns when he died? It's hard to find a picture of him without a cigar.
People have got to either make it illegal or ease up on their lack of compassion or tolerance of others.
I have allergies and many fragrances physically effect me. But I take a pill and go on with my life. I don't insist they remove fragrances from being used in order for me to be more comfortable.

Hey BERNARDI I hope you find my post and reconsider your asinine policy or at lest put a bucket outside so us smokers feel somewhat welcome.
