While I agree, can someone explain to me why the only remaining full-play machine is always next to the already-seated smoker, so my decision is smoke vs short-pay vs no-play?
All I ever ask is that they smoke with the hand opposite me; it does make a small difference, since if they hold the cig in the hand next to me, and are mostly playing rather than smoking, depending on which way the wind is blowing, I might end up smoking more than the smoker.
