While I do not wish to get into the "culture wars," I enjoy an occasional cigar, but I would never smoke in a public place as there are a lot of misguided folks who don't enjoy the scent of a fine cigar. Seriously, as someone pointed out, cigarette and cigar smoke can spread over large areas, so a smoker's habit is not confined to his/her immediate area. This type of legislation might be a slippery slope, so it requires care. In a perfect world, smokers, butt-droppers, 150 ft violators would all be considerate. Unfortunately, it is not yet a perfect world.
