I agree with some of you that rude people come in all types, some non-smokers can be a little over zelous at times, of course keep in mind that we're defending our health not our habits. We should stay off the port side of the outer decks point taken. Perfume can also trigger breathing problems, but that doesn't give everybody else free reign to do it also. Perfume also does not supress the immune system or kill 400,000 people per year. and yes I do drive a car, grill outdoors, and use insect repellant (alas no hair spray for the young balding gentleman 'sigh') but I would not dream of doing any of these things inside an elevator, lobby or hallway...actually I wouldn't do any of these things inside at all. Lots of smokers (I said lots not all) offend easily, and discussions become steered toward "rights" and other offending habits (perfume, gas grills and the like). So to be fair to everyone- If anyone has ANY annoying habit please don't practice it in elevators, lobbys, hallways, or in crowds. There. Now we're all covered
Us non-smokers will promise not to do any of the following inside the ship: barbeque, drive our cars, apply insect repellant-hairspray-perfume, or use fox urine if the smokers will agree to not smoke indoors, fair enough? (actually all I ask was that folks only smoke where it's allowed...I didn't think that was too much to ask)

Happy Breathing

[QUOTE="SHANNON & CATHY, post: 675083"] I agree with some of you that rude people come in all types, some non-smokers can be a little over zelous at times, of course keep in mind that we're defending our health not our habits. We should stay off the port side of the outer decks point taken. Perfume can also trigger breathing problems, but that doesn't give everybody else free reign to do it also. Perfume also does not supress the immune system or kill 400,000 people per year. and yes I do drive a car, grill outdoors, and use insect repellant (alas no hair spray for the young balding gentleman 'sigh') but I would not dream of doing any of these things inside an elevator, lobby or hallway...actually I wouldn't do any of these things inside at all. Lots of smokers (I said lots not all) offend easily, and discussions become steered toward "rights" and other offending habits (perfume, gas grills and the like). So to be fair to everyone- If anyone has ANY annoying habit please don't practice it in elevators, lobbys, hallways, or in crowds. There. Now we're all covered :-) Us non-smokers will promise not to do any of the following inside the ship: barbeque, drive our cars, apply insect repellant-hairspray-perfume, or use fox urine if the smokers will agree to not smoke indoors, fair enough?
