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.

People are mind bogglingly selfish.

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!

But I want to take my baby into your B&M. You can't smoke there now.
See... it'll never end.

Check her other facebook links. She's also trying to ban people from smoking near bus shelters.
I live in Toronto, and there are no places left to enjoy a cigar except my own home now. Canada is getting out of control - it was a nice balance when we had properly segregated smokers areas.

That's why think a heavy dose would apply. No smoking in B&Ms? It's a store that sells tobacco, why should they be smoke free?

Some people won't be happy until they get their way everywhere. At this rate she'll have it banned in your home because a non-smoker might visit.

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.
