But, consider this. In that crowd of people you're pissing off, there may well be a politician (I realize that's not likely in this instance, but it is in many circumstances,). Alright, there's not a politician, but maybe there's someone who's got too much time on his hands and chooses to be an anti-cigar activist.

Do we really need to make these folks mad? I mean, if smokers never smoked in public, would there be as much anti-smoking activity? Would SCHIP have happened if not for these instances? Maybe, maybe not.

The way I look at it, I'll smoke when there's no one to offend because I neither want more limited access or higher taxes.

I don't imagine there is a lot of "anti"-anything activity at this particular concert, much less any holier than thou activists.
