Those were matters of smokers being polite or impolite. In the first case, the
smoker was in the smoking section on the far side of the restaurant. my
friend's boyfriend's whining was more annoying than the smoke. We were more
than 100 feet away. The woman who complained about my brother had the whole
restaurant to sit in, but chose to sit next to the smoke .In the third case,
the woman who complained about my friend 's smoke had no reason to move right
up behind him after he moved. BTW... later on that night she was sitting around
a campfire inhaling wood smoke.
