Smoking while dining Alfresco ?

<< < (4/23) > >>

debra:
I have never smoked.  I know the dangers.  Alfresco - come on?  Why not - move if you don't like to be near a smoker!  Why should it bother me - I am on holiday and so is everyone else - tolerance is a wonderful thing.  Chill and be happy - that's what I say.  Prejudice and judgementalness (is there such a word?) leaves a bitter taste.  Life is definitely too short.

Well said Debra and you are right in that life is to short, for me I am happy just to be able to go on holiday this year having had some health problems so I don't care if people smoke or not, I don't care if people are doing the 'Dad dance' at the condor bar, in fact I don't even care if it rains, I just feel fortunate that I afford to go on holiday so will be concentrating on having a good time, only 11 weeks to go!

Never smoked a fag in my life but I really dislike the anti-smoking storm troopers.

If you dont like smoking dont go to Greece where 70% of the population enjoy smoking without a Nanny state nagging them all the time.

As for anti-smokers preaching the benefits of clean air, how many of them drive cars that belch out a multitude of gases, few of which are beneficial to our health.

Tolerance is what is needed.

Interesting points one and all, just to confirm I raised the question as we had a meal spoilt by excessive smoke from several tables all around us. We were under cover in a balcony area. We didn't complain just smiled and got on with our meals, we were on holiday, it's what you do. It's not practical to move mid meal, but it may be practical to have non smoking areas? The alfresco aspect is relevant , outdoors not a problem, but in semi enclosed dining areas it can genuinely be unpleasant for non smokers.No prejudice,no nanny state storm troopers,no human rights articles being waved about,just a family tolerating the habits of others and asking a reasonable question of fellow holiday makers, Is it right to smoke next to fellow diners as they eat their meal?
