Where the hell did I say I ignore the rule?

I said that IMO it should not be a game rule. We have no business telling a grown man he cannot use tobacco. If it's an issue to use it around kids, then that's an issue for his employer, not for a football official.

I've been very clear on my point. But I'll try to explain it to you again.

I do not think it should be a rule.

I got that much out of your statement. Not sure I totally disagree with you. But someone has determined it is illegal to the rules and in some cases the law. And at least on one front we are asked to enforce one of those situations. And I do not have the right to write a ticket to someone that violates the state law.
