Back in the days when William Caxton was perfecting his new printing aparatus, I was a smoker.
We all were....the Malboro Man road his trusty steed across the high country and if you didn't smoke there was a social gene missing in your chromosome chain!
I haven't smoked for 35 years but I do still understand what the smoker goes through...it is an addiction!
I am fortunate to have a large rear garden (around 1,600 M2) complete with 4 seperate outdoor seating areas. I welcome smokers but only in those outdoor areas. I have ashtrays there for the guests use, which they in the main respect, but I will under no circumstance tollerate smoking within the listed cottage...and I don't care what sort it is, even vaping!
Smoking is smoking, I will tolerate them but l won't enable them....and @Susie5 I suggest you do the same!
Cheers.....Rob
