I think some people complain just because they can. It must be some sort of empowerment thang.

It reminds me of when they first started to consider restricting cigarette smoking in the workplace (yes I am that old). At first it was a voluntary thing. The corporation expected people to work it out on a local basis.

Well it was amazing to see how many people suddenly became deathly ill at the slightest wisp of tobacco smoke in their vicinity, in spite of having been exposed to large quantities of it for, in some cases, entire decades with no apparent discomfort at all.

Now I generally agree with the concept of a smoke free workplace but the amount of hysterics displayed by some people, on both sides of the smoking issue, was illuminating to say the least.
