Pictures of ourselves

When I was at school and I was a smoker, they designated certain places where we could smoke, most of them out of sight because it's unprofessional to be seen smoking in uniform, but for the most part it was the back side of barracks and places like that. They kept tightening rules on smoking because people were complaining about smelling smoke when they went outside and how they didn't like people standing around smoking. There ended up being a huge argument that broke out in the administration about rights to smoke.

Smokers are already limited in where they can go, but it's their right to smoke just as it's your right not to. If you know there's someplace that allows smoking and it really bothers you, then don't go there. Just like if there's someone you don't like being around, do you go to their house? No, that's dumb. Just avoid it if you don't like it. Like I said, smokers don't have a whole lot of choice anymore.
