My comments were not directed at any individual - just what I recall the attitude being before there were laws to protect non-smokers in public buildings. It was outrageous at that time - they even smoked in hospitals, and certainly on planes. I will say that California led the way on this one good thing - I worked many hours getting petitions signed to help get the movement started. All we originally "begged" for was non-smoking sections in restaurants. Some of the smokers I asked to sign the petition acted like I was working to get them hung. How DARE I be so rude as to want a portion of a restaurant where smoke wouldn't be blown directly in my face! LOL! :)

I'll never forget how tenderly the subject was treated after we got the first no-smoking sections laws passed. They so-timidly put up signs saying, THANK YOU for not smoking. It was long time before I remember seeing the first actual No Smoking sign. LOL! I could go on - I have lots of stories to tell on the subject, but don't want to offend anyone here. :)
