so someone got punched(?) because they asked someone who shouldn't have been smoking to stop smoking in a no smoking place..?

Yes but to clarify and to avoid exaggeration it was not a punch. It was a headlock with open hand shoved into the face. No injuries.

Trick suggestion! The farthest place relative to where? :party:

got me thinking... :!:

so... if you turn your back, then from your face go forwards as if to go right round the globe until the halfway point, that would be the farthest place, as soon as you go over the halfway marker it would be getting nearer....but...and there is a but.....you would be farthest away from yourself...and that would be impossible as you can never be far away from yourself, only arms length and then thats not your whole body, so would be like the donkey and the carrot.

I respect the Konstabel here for being responsible in not smoking in his hotel room and for being considerate in not subjecting his wife to the effects of his smoking. I also sympathise with him for wanting to be able to have his “pint” and his cigarette together somewhere without being harassed. Most smokers from developed countries would regard this to be their right.
The problem is that I am a non-smoker and I consider that it is my right also to drink my beer and eat my food while breathing cigarette smoke free air. A customer in a well know local restaurant was recently assaulted for asking someone not to smoke at the inside bar. This restaurant is well provided with smoking areas in the pool room and on the verandas that almost surround the dining room. Problems occur when smokers either pass through the dining area going to the toilet, bar, computer, TV or to their rooms with lit cigarettes or simply move into the dining room to settle down and light up.
As Konstabel says “give us somewhere to go”. There is plenty of room for everyone. If we could just stop our self-interested aggression and come to mutual agreements we could all live sensibly together while respecting each others wishes.
