Inconsiderate smokers
I don't smoke, never have. I actually have this bizarre allergy thing to them. But i don't object to people smoking per se, in the same way i don't object to them drinking. What I DO object to is inconsiderate smokers.
People that don't accept or acknoledge that other people might want to walk about/eat/see a band/dance without breathing smoke, getting cigarette burns or hole in clothes.
So here are some things to remember.
Dancefloor. So named as it is a floor on which you dance. I object to having to avoid puddles of beer and plumes of smoke and the threat of burning/holes in my clothes because you feel the need to smoke/drink AND dance at the same time
Gig. A cigarette is not a lighter. Please don't wave it in the air as if it was. SMOKE the damn thing, or put it out. And yes, I AM right behind you, and yes your smoke IS bothering me.
Food. I like to taste my food thanks. And smell it. I don't mind if you want to smoke at the table while the food hasn't been served, but ask first. please?
Lastly. A cigarette is neither a sparkler nor a glowstick. Either stick it in your face, put it out, or i might have to stick it somewhere else.
The sooner smoking is banned in public places, the better.
Ok rant over...

Can't wait till the full ban though - if nothing else, it'll finally stop me smoking forever!
I reckon a lot of places will end up members only so peeps can still smoke though.
