When you enter an establishment that permits smoking...
Ask for the manager's email so that you can send him/her feedback. Politely state in your email that you find smoke to be unpleasant and the manager's allowance of smoking to be extremely discorteous not only to yours but everyone's heath.
It works wonders. Especially if you drop that you work in law.

Is this the same person for all these posts or is there some anti-smoking army on DL that I'm unaware of?

Other than Casinos, where do you go in this day and age that allows smoking?

R4 Bars and clubs throughout the Midwest and south. It's disguting.

Everyone here hates you, OP, just like in real life. Congrats! That takes a lot of effort.

If you're constantly going to bars and casinos, and you're clutching your pearls over smoking, maybe look at your own unhealthy lifestyle.
Some people have smoking as a vice. Other people have slots and liquor.

R5 I live in the South, and while my state doesn't have a statewide ban, most localities do, unless you are going to clubs and bars out in the sticks.

As of July 2018, 12 states have not enacted any general statewide ban on smoking in workplaces and/or bars and/or restaurants: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Instead, laws in most of these states (see individual state listings below for further information) require proprietors of certain places to designate smoking and non-smoking areas and post warning signage.
At BEST R5, Missouri could be called midwest. As R9 mentioned, even in these states, there is a LONG list of cities that have banned smoking in "establishments".
I don't get this obsession.

R9 I said that bars and clubs throughout the south allow smoking indoors, not that all of them do. Good for you though! Glad to hear you're living in a smoke-free environment, not all states are, and neither are a lot of the townships within those states. Have some fucking humility.

R10 You fool. There are Midwestern and even Yankee states that have statewide bans but which are very lenient in their laws. They're morally objectionable even if they separate smoker from non.

R11 Actually I hate it. When I go to a bar, I like a smoke filled bar.

Drink at home, OP. You and your mom can spend more quality time together, that way.
