I would consider myself a smoker. I don't smoke like it's my religion, but I do smoke occasionaly. A casual smoker, I guess you would say.
I think it's absolutely correct for smokers to be asked to step outside to smoke. I would never think of smoking in my house. I wouldnt want ash inside my house, i wouldnt want that tar drenched smoke inside my house. What I do with MY own lungs is my own damn business, but what I do to other peoples lungs is not. Outside is correct.
That's just the way I feel. It wont kill me to walk outside for 5 minutes to light a cigarette.
