Plus, with all the education around it, it is so blatantly stupid, that people who do it (such as myself) might as well wear a sandwich board that say's 'I'm a Moran' on it.
All that said, I don't understand why some people are trying to squeeze tits so hard. Us dirty smokers already huddle in corners and go outside. There is literally nowhere that smoking is allowed where air lingers. I think alot of you people are being overly dramatic. As if having a faint whiff of smoke is going to kill you. If that's the case, then I think that Rouge is bang on for making comparisons to vehicle exhaust. And then there's camp fires. Hope none of you anti-smoking militants go camping. Smoke is smoke. Unless you're standing there breathing it, or are sitting in a room with still air and someone else is smoking, then it's not a big deal. It's not like friggin radiation. A tiny little whiff from time to time is no reason to act like Dominik Hasek and pretend you were just shot in the chest. Live and let live. We've got the rules. They're stacked pretty far in your favor (and, I admit, rightfully so). So just stop trying to make decisions for other people.

It seems really simple, and you spelled it out pretty well yourself.
If it's so useless, why have it around? Does it matter if arguements can be made for it affecting others or not? Just get rid of it.
Seems simple to me.
