    cigarette smokers in B&Ms

    Quite a contentious point I'm sure.
    I had a couple of recent experiences which led me to ask this question.
    I was in a large local B&M (with a bar) which was pretty packed tbh, almost too many people really (sore throat upon leaving). Even among the thick cigar smoke inside, I could pick out that someone had lit up a cigarette from across the room, I didn't even see them until leaving. No one said anything and it was so busy that I can't say it really affected my enjoyment.
    A few days later, in a different establishment downtown in mid afternoon, the place was nearly empty. Just me and about 4 others, again in a large place. A lady came in from the cold, ordered a coffee and proceeded to chain smoke newport menthols. This time is really spoilt the room note, to the point where I tossed my stick early: it just was too distracting.

    Their house, their rules, but what are your thought on cigarettes in the B&M?

    The cigar lounge I frequent most has a strict no cigarette policy. I've seen someone light up a cig a couple of times and the bartender makes them put it out immediately.

    We just got our legal smoking in Cigar shops reinstated this week. Previously, and now as well, cigarette smoking is not allowed in the cigar shops/bars; only cigars or pipes. It does seem odd that in an establishment full of cigar smoke, someone needs to go outside to smoke a cigarette. I do not like the smell of cigarettes, and am glad for this policy. So here, it is not a problem. It is against the law.

    I can't stand the smell of cigarette, it should not be allowed in a B&M in my opinion.

    The one cigar lounge we have in town that serves alcohol oddly enough has far more cigarette smokers than cigar smokers at any time. I hate it because I think it takes away from the enjoyment of the smells of cigar tobacco.

    I also smoke cigarettes, however I cannot stand the smell of them

    I was politely asked not to light up a pipe at a cigar lounge recently. Was OK as I smoke cigars to but they were not excited that I was interested in smoking a pipe. That was a surprise to me.

    I myself smoke pipes,cigars,and cigarettes,but I can't stand to be in an enclosed smoke filled room at all.The place has to have ventilation.But,see as so many are treated as second class citizens because they smoke cigarettes is insulting enough to me that I will put up with them in the B&M if the owners do.I helped put in a smoking room at a large "Historical"building,and the principle contractor only took on the job if it would be open to all smokers,not just pipers and cigars.So more or less I'm saying that if the proprieters are ok with it .I'll just accept it,if it really bothers me,I can always go outside.

    I prefer if people do not smoke cigarettes in the cigar lounge, but the one I frequent the most does allow it. However, the cigarette smokers generally stay at the bar while I sit in the lounge area with the big comfy chairs. Luckily, this particular lounge has an EXCELLENT ventilation system so as long as we are separated by a few feet I can't even smell it.

    I don't mind being around someone smoking a handrolled, I don't care for the odor of a Marlboro or Camel when it is burning.
