One of our BOTL started a counter-point group: Abbotsford Flea Market Smoking Rights

People are mind bogglingly selfish.

Tell her you don't like her shirt she can't wear it.

I think that her reaction is completely overboard, but at the very least she did want a designated smoking area, not to ban it completely. While it's infuriating that people would go so far to ban smoking outdoors I did wonder about something. Her complaint seems to stem from the fact that she is taking her infant shopping with her and people are lighting up right next to her. I know that the inmates here are considerate of those around them (to a point, if I'm sitting somewhere and you sit next to me and then ask me to put it out, no way jose), but who in their right mind stands next to someone with a child and then lights up? I feel that this is a situation that could be cleared up with the proper application of common sense and courtesy.

As for banning smoking outside, my response has and always will be: but I'm %*$&%@ outside!

I have no desire to join facebook or any of the others sites, but if they get petition or something going I would sign it.

I joined and invited all my cigar contacts... 80 or so.

I joined Abbotsford Flea Market Smoking Rights. I'd encourage other BOTL's to do the same! It's just getting out of hand in Canada these days.

She's got her work cut out for her. I think she expected to be thought of as the hero, but the fact is more people are coming out to support smokers than her little diatribe. It kills me that she'd take her innocent, priceless children to a flea market - the place of all things counterfeit and unregulated - yet somehow smoking is her concern.
