Cigar friendly vs. cigar tolerant.

[markem]

We have 5 cigar bars in Oregon with no more allowed by law.

However, in the Portland area, there are many bars and even restaurants that allow cigar smoking on their patios. We can still smoke in most parks. The state of Washington has been looking to relax their laws on cigar smoking as well.

Most people focus on indoor smoking when they complain. I can see that since indoor doesn't have to care about weather. However, there is a big difference between states where outdoor cigar smoking is nearly impossible and states where it is merely inconvenient.

In the winter, I mostly smoke in my garage with the doors open as they face south and I have a kerosene heater. I also live near a grade school. I don't smoke where I can be seen when school is getting out as that seems polite to me. But that's me and I am not trying to put that on others.
