My Bad.
I never smoked in public because in a small town everyone knows you. In a big city, you light up, and people would not want to be exposed to the smoke as they walk by .... and they give you negative reactions.
My surprise was the possitive reactions. The fear of being in the closet is not letting other people down. At this point in time, I no longer have that fear.
Thanks for your reply although you did not get it. Probably my fault for not communicating better. Oh well.
Take care.
