For Your Convenience

A sign on a bathroom door in a gas station in Nevada said something like this:

"For your convenience, this bathroom has been designated smoke free."

As if it were only inconvenient to be exposed to cigarette smoke. "Man, this lung cancer is mighty inconvenient. I had a football game to go to!"

Why not say:
"For your HEALTH, this bathroom has been designated smoke free." Or is that too offensive to the cigarette smokers?

On the way out, I saw a sign on the gas station door that said:
"For your pleasure, this building is smoke free."

That was better than the idea of convenience. It is definitely more pleasurable to be in a smoke-free building.
