These things are more of a problem IMO, especially when people are using the scented ones, they actually smell TERRIBLE.
At a recent SCG a dude next to me kept using his and he smelled like a ****in dumpster, it was absolutely disgusting.
My store has very good ventilation for a small store and even before the state banned smoking indoors, it wasn't really a problem. Most of the scents are non-hash ones and more flavorful like blackberry. They have an entire corner of the store dedicated to vaporizers.
I don't think you quite grasp how personal rights work. If someone is smoking on grounds legal for it there's not much a police officer can do. However if you are vehemently calling them a disgusting chiminey to their face you have violated their rights.
I said they could ask them to leave if they are on legal smoking areas. I never said they had any legal grounds to remove them. That's the neat thing about free speech. And unless you are threatening them with your speech or following them around or harassing them, you can call them disgusting chimneys all you want without violating their rights.
A business would also lose quite a bit of income if it threw out players who didn't shower. That shouldn't stop us from trying to get more people to shower and to call them out when they don't.
Yeah, but are you really going to call someone on that at a Friday Night Magic or a friendly Saturday afternoon tournament when they are only 7 minutes late? You just have to roll your eyes and play the game.
7-9-10-20, its just FNM right? The time limit is put there to keep things running smoothly. Plus if you left the building to smoke and couldnt make it back in time its your own damn fault. You know that you entered a magic tourney, pay more attention. Should we all have to spend those 7 minutes outside hunting for opponents that wont get a game loss from deciding the tourney goes at their pace now? Should we wait on the guy that ran to taco bell too? Should he be able to play with his burrito on the table, or do we wait for him to finish eating before the next round?
There are prizes on the line, I paid to enter. You did too, you knew the rules when you paid the entry fee.
But I dont care what you do between rounds, just make sure you watch your time because no one else will do it for you, and dont complain when I got bored waiting to see if my opponent is ever going to show up and called the judge.

I agree. I am not the fastest player, and I tend to play contolish decks, so I have gone close enough to time game 3 enough times that I would call a judge. I would not want a match loss, but a game loss seems fair to me if that is in the rules (don't know if it is).
