I Have a Bean Coffee and Tobacco
I learned a local coffee roaster, I Have a Bean, is actively promoting a cigar shop. Disgusting. Vile. Putrid. I made the mistake of thinking it was a one-time thing, but it is something they are committed to.
Join me in letting them know you think their affiliation should stop. You fill out a form on their website or contact them directly:

What about secondhand cigar smoke? - Cancer.org article.
Tobacco smoking killed my mom at age 56.
It is a free country, one where they are legally allowed to do this. Smoking is still legally allowed as well, though public knowledge about how it kills people.
My mom, a lovely woman, was a writer. Creative, thoughtful, witty, I have always wanted her to read my work. She died before I had my first real writing job. She never met my wife or son. My brother's eulogy for her was the saddest I had ever heard.
It was a long slow death that was wrought from years of smoking. I Have a Bean feels comfortable in their allegiance with a shop that sells deadly products. I don't. Do you?
Certainly, some of my readers are smokers who find this to be acceptible. Again, you are free.

agree, we are free to do what ever we want, however, that said, bad move on the part of this estabilishment, very unsmart.
