I understand, of course, that many people find smoking objectionable. That is their right. I would, I assure you, be the very last to criticize the
annoyed. I myself find many - even most - things objectionable. Being offended is the natural consequence of leaving one's home. I do not like aftershave
lotion, adults who roller-skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. I do not, however, go around enacting legislation and putting up
signs. In private I avoid such people; in public they have the run of the place. I stay at home as much as possible, and so should they. When it is necessary,
however, to go out of the house, they must be prepared, as I am, to deal with the unpleasant personal habits of others. That is what public
means.
