Is there a place for a cigarette?

Actually smoking is not totally prohibited in the USA. But is there a proper place for smoking and where is it situated?

For a long time I was constantly having problems with this. Most cafes and restaurants have smoking rooms. But even there some people watch at you with irritation when you smoke a cigarette. Also ash-pot is replaced very seldom and because of bad airing usually a cloud of smoke (which has dreadful smell) stings eyes.

Driving and smoking are also opposites. Even if I wish it very much I can’t smoke in my car. Taxi drivers also get furious when I ask about smoking. I can’t even think about smoking nearby nursery school, playground, spa and beauty salon, where I go, and in many places I go for negotiations. It seems they would lynch me there before the police come.

Smoking rooms at work and in the airports look like prison rooms: a cloud of nasty smell, blackened walls, spits and a lot of ugly-looking men arguing loudly. It is not a nice place for a woman, is it?

Only now I realize that this discomfort has reasonable explanation. Maybe all this stresses are made to prevent people from smoking or to make them give up smoking? I strongly believe this would really help!
