Who in there right mind would complain???
Let me see,, you paid for your spot just like every one else,, Smoke dog rockets,happy logs,what ever,,,, I camped next to a couple that sat out and drank a 48 pack of beer and smoked a pack and a half of cigarettes EVERY DAY!!!
I didn't complain,, If it bothered me badly enough I would have asked for a different spot,,, It's Camping!! Enjoy!!!
a silly comparison IMHO. their swigging beer did not impose on you in any way, unless they became drunk and obnoxious, which you didn't claim, and 30 cigarettes over the course of a day on their own site which I assume was several feet from yours shouldn't impose too much.

48 pack every day, some things are just implied without being stated. LOL!
I assume that you counted each and every beer and jotted notes on consumption? and two people and 30 cigarettes seems to me to be about what chain smokers would do.

Wasn't the original question about smoking on a smoker, and whether it was offensive or not? I've not read all the individual posts, but, man, this is good.
If you happen to see those same folks again, tell them they have some great new devices in the world today. Coolers, and ice, put that 48 pack in the cooler and put the ice on top to keep it cold, and move the cooler close to the seating area. That way, they won't have to in and out 48 times getting those beers.
I'm not a liberal with the "I have my rights" kinda attitude, but damn......if people drinking and smoking cigerettes bothers you while camping, buy 100 acres, and clear your spot in the middle and never worry about that again. :h :B
For the OP, smoke your briskets, chicken, and whatever else you's like to. If the smoke gets in your neighbors camp, go over and offer to let them sit in your camp, upwind from the smoke, and maybe enjoy some cocktails and new conversation.
