people realizing that they too had things they would rather live without, but up to the time when the extremist anti-smoking crowd, they had accepted that everyone had things they didn't like and we all have to live with each other.

But now people are thinking that maybe they too can get laws passed to try to create an environment that THEY would like to have.

So now we will have people holding their noses when someone wearing perfume passes by, or deoterant eg, Or dog poop or bird poop. And soon, EVERYTHING that bothers SOMEONE will banned.

It's hilarious. People don't realize sometimes when they think they've 'won' that there are consequences to every action, consequences they may not have imagined being so focused on their own issues.
