Those of us with asthma and allergies apologize for our inability to stop
breathing when necessary...
Seriously... it's not as simple as black and white. A few weeks ago we were
in a small outside beachside restaurant in Aruba. We were seated at a
table, and ordered our drinks before ordering lunch. At that point another
group was seated at a table next to us. They asked the waitress if they
could smoke, and she said yes. I then politely asked if they'd mind not
smoking since one of us had asthma. They were nice enough to agree, but
what if they hadn't?
