What can I say, I smoke and I have done it on dive boats, Sitting (or standing) on the aft deck with the boat under way. ONE there is NO WAY my smoking can bother you in this way. I usually cant smell the smoke myself over the exhaust of the boat. I do not smoke in covered areas, I agree this would be rude, but something I have noticed is there is a large population of wining wennies that think there opinion should be everyones. And they do what they can to impose it. So in short, Smokers.....be courteous, some folks don't care for the smell of tobacco smoke, I can respect that as should we all. Non-Smokers: If a smoker is trying to smoke in a area as to not offend you, don't go over to him, if you do that's your fault not his. Non-Smoking Nazis: Perhapse you should be tossed overboard anyhow.
