    Well people can be in the designated area, and you’re right I can avoid that, but it’s not like the smoke magically stays in that area, too. It’s much easier, cheaper, cleaner, and generally more profitable for the business to just ask you to go out to the sidewalk or whatever.

      If it’s cheaper and more profitable then let them reach that conclusion. And sidewalks are public areas so now you’ve moved the smokers out of designated areas and place where people can levy the same complaints. It’s just so heavy-handed that i cannot see it as anything other than lifestyle enforcement rather than genuine concern for non-smokers
