OK, I knew I would get blasted, but a little clarification of my original post is in order... I do respect the wishes of non-smokers in their homes, businesses, etc. But the ones that I do not respect are those that come into my home and ask that I not smoke in their presence or that I smell like smoke. If they don't like it, they don't have to visit, as far as I'm concerned. Some of these "holier than thou" non-smokers should realize that perhaps I do not like their car exhaust fumes, but do not ask them to park a block away so I don't have to breathe it in. I guess what I am saying that the "intolerant attitudes" are those that lead to loss of freedoms, and I see this happening in more than just anti-smoking, especially since 9-11. I agree that anyone who lights up when there are "no smoking" signs present is disrespectful and again, reiterate that I heed these signs myself. I also realize that cigarette smoke is hazardous and I am gambling with my life. But, all things considered, it is my life. And if I choose to not be "politically correct" I am glad I am an American where I won't be executed because of it. Anyhow, that's all my ranting on this subject. I know in reality it has little to do with "trains" though I am sure my layout smells like cigarette smoke. (But it doesn't dirty the track as badly as smoke fluid does!) 'Nuff said...
