non-smoking smoking area

I've never been to a non-smoking smoking area.

(Although I have been in a non-smoking area where people are smoking!) But I am afraid this may become the wave of future with the new electronic cigarettes. I did see a guy coming out of a store smoking one, and that is exactly what I thought. He is smoking in a place designated as smoke free! He may think that no one is bothered by it since there is not a cloud of smoking being emitted while he smokes the electric cigarette. However, I could smell it and detected it as a cigarette. I hope that the new electric cigarettes will also be off limits in non-smoking areas.

That I'd like to see.

electronic cigarettes

I've never been anywhere there were electronic cigarettes.

I had never even heard of them before! There was an article in last week's USA Today about these new gadgets. This article led to a discussion with my son. He said he'd seen a guy at McDonald's smoking one. My son went on to tell me he felt like it was a good idea, in keeping kids from getting addicted. I quickly told him that the article points out that nicotine and chemicals are still found in the electronic cigarettes, including some suspected carcinogens. The only benefit that I could see to the electronic cigarette is that I and others around the smoker would not have to ingest the second hand smoke.

That I'd like to see.
