My statement that most people who consider themselves non-smokers will smoke when drinking is based on personal experience with many people. It turns out your experiences aren't the same, so maybe things are different outside small-town Nebraska in that regard.

It doesn't affect me that badly unless the place is particularly smokey, but it will put some off.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, if there is no health issue, then there is no real justification for banning smoking.
