To add to that, the cigar craze is only starting in Manila. We've already encountered guests who refuse to extinguish their cigars in our dining area. Dear Sir, I enjoyed reading your article regarding the two ladies who smoked throughout your dinner. May I say that I don't really agree with your attitude towards them. It's not as if they set out to ruin everyone's dinner by consciously lighting up every couple of minutes.
Smoking is a habit and one of the hardest to break.
You seemed a little more than annoyed judging by the tone of your article. In Los Gatos CA you can't smoke while walking down the street. Yes, it is against the law to walk down some of the main streets with a lit cigarette in your mouth. That is absolutely absurd. Since then I have relocated to the Pacific Northwest where they realize that smokers are human beings like the rest of us.
