Thankfully, in MI you're not allowed to smoke even in outdoor areas if food is served. So as long as we don't sit near the exit/entrance way, I think we'll be okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-you-do-if-someone-is-smoking-near-your-lo#post-122204 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:51:09 +0000 Rubies 122204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a former smoker, I NEVER smoked near people because I personally didn't feel it was right to expose others to my habit. If I happened to be smoking and a family or children were approaching, I would either put my cigarette out or move somewhere else. Now that I'm a mother, I've never asked anyone to move or anything like that because people have a right to smoke. Most of the time, people who are smoking and see me with a baby will do their best to wave the smoke away or something. Just once did a person just continue blowing smoke our way at which point, I whipped around and gave a dirty look before walking away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-you-do-if-someone-is-smoking-near-your-lo#post-122079 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 07:19:41 +0000 regberadaisy 122079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they were right next to me I would ask to change tables. or the wind was blowing in our direction I would probably ask to move back inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-you-do-if-someone-is-smoking-near-your-lo#post-122000 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 03:49:30 +0000 cupcakemama 122000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give them the death stare! It might be their right to smoke but it's rude to do it where the smoke goes over other people - that does impact on others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-you-do-if-someone-is-smoking-near-your-lo#post-121878 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:14:12 +0000 heffalump 121878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I prefer outside if the weather is nice. We can bring our dog, and I don't feel as bad if my lo is noisy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-you-do-if-someone-is-smoking-near-your-lo#post-121877 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:10:32 +0000 chopsuey 121877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately they're allowed to smoke outside so we just walk away. We've never eaten at an outdoor restaurant with LO--I prefer eating inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-you-do-if-someone-is-smoking-near-your-lo#post-121875 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:08:35 +0000 HabesBabe 121875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do the same. It's their right to smoke and not my place to ask them to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-you-do-if-someone-is-smoking-near-your-lo#post-121874 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:06:26 +0000 heffalump 121874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to outside restaurants a lot because we like to bring our dog. We know we're risking that someone might be sitting outside. I hate it. But I don't feel like I have the right to tell them not to. Its perfectly legal. So I usually just take lo for a little walk. </p>
