Musings of an aging fan

I think smoking in pubs *is* pushy. It is expecting everyone else in the room/building to breathe your smelly noxious fumes and go home having to wash every thread they are wearing if they happen not to like stinking - without even asking, just expecting that everyone will accept it. If I went around spraying complete strangers with perfume and getting on my high horse about my rights if people objected, I would probably be arrested, but it's okay if it's smoking? It's quite clear that the only way to stop people smoking is going to be to make it a social stigma on the level of smelling of sweat (which, conversely, I don't really mind the smell of - yet a billion-pound industry rests on persuading us all that we must smell of chemicals instead).
