Opinions on public smoking?

Yeah, but the people around me aren’t drinking just because they’re near me. It’s even. I should be able to have a beer in public.

No, you can’t drink beer on the streets y0

People should not be exposed to cancer causing elements when they are trying to enjoy a meal. Have you not heard of second hand smoke? It causes just as much damage.

does the smell of your beer onthe other side of the room make my jacket stink?

Don’t go there, lots of shit give yous cancer

Smoking is disgusting… I will reject a girl based only on the fact that they smoke… no matter how hot, and cool… they are retarded for smoking and smelling like shit so they don’t deserve my time.

I don’t necessarily mind that people do it outside, or in front of a front door or something… where I only need to hold my breath for a second.

It’s funny how people think it was going to RUIN the bar scene… and you walk around downtown… and see FUCKING SEVEN PEOPLE OUTSIDE SMOKING… with 150 people inside… all this time… it was seven fucking assclowns making me smell like shit… I think bars are better off… go to the cigar bars if you smoke… something tells me they aren’t doing any better because people can smoke in them.

quoted for truth

While I agree with not smoking in bars, I don’t agree with making it unlawful to smoke outdoors in a public place.

:word:

smoking is dumb. I choose not to do it because there isn’t anything possitive about it. It’s unhealthy, expensive and dirty. With all the information thats put into your face about how bad it is for you, people still do it. So if the dumb people want to kill themselves off, thats fine. I’d tell my friends who smoke the same thing.

The other day I walked out of the office and I saw 3 people standing in pouring rain trying to hide under an umbrella to have a smoke…then they come inside a stink up the office with their smell…is it really worth it? :lol:

So now that i’ve stated my opinion on smoking, I’ll just go ahead and agree with Howie.

If people choose to smoke outside and its not going to have any effect on me, by all means have at it with those cancer sticks.

Being a smoker i find this all amuzing. I agree with the restauraunt indoor law. Just becuase you work somewhere doesnt mean you should have to breath in someone elses smoke. I remember when i could smoke and cook at the same time in the reastaurant biz.

Outlawing it in public places is rediculus. Some places already have. The U of R Strong memorial hospital made it againts policy to smoke on their private property. That they can do.

So now everyone who works at the hopital smokes in the cemetary across the street. IRONY!

:lol:

Even more than public smoking, my pet peeve is people throwing fucking cigarette butts out their windows.

I’m against smoking in bars/resturants. I know a lot of people hate the fact that they have to go outside to smoke, but really, when a bunch of people are smoking in a small enclosed area, it’s really disgusting. The smoke just lingers, and gets in your clothes, hair, lungs, etc. I don’t want to smell like an ashtray for the rest of the night. Plus, I don’t like second hand smoke. I choke and cough when there’s too much of it. It really is hard to breath around that shit. I’ll never become a smoker. But irony will probably bite me in the ass, and I’ll get some cigarette related disease. Ha.

On the other hand, I don’t give a shit if you smoke outside. It’s not like there aren’t other pollutants outside, like exhaust for an example. Are we going to ban motor vehicles? No. So banning smoking outside is just stupid. Especially at places like Darien Lake. IT’S OUTSIDE. As much as I don’t like smoking, I’m not going to agree with banning it. Just don’t do it around me.

In conclusion, smoking inside a building/vehicle/whatever sucks. But smoke outside as much as your little heart desires.

So. if you can’t smoke inside…and you can’t smoke outside?
Where are you supposed to smoke?
In some kind of twilight zone?

Yeah. I hate smoke. It pisses me off when im at a party and the room is filled with smoke. I hate smokers as well. they are very smug about there unhealthyness.
They always have an excuse for being angry…or out of shape. and it comes down to smoking.
“ah dude, i could run faster than you if I didn’t smoke”
“sorry im pissed, i haven’t had a smoke in a while”

If you smoke, do it away from me. and don’t talk to me about smoking. or how you are trying to quit, or love it. I don’t care.

I am just pissed that I have to walk through a cloud of it when I walk into work, or when some moron next to me on Park Ave blows smoke in my face, that’s annoying. Go smoke anywhere, I don’t care.

and second hand smoke effects other peoples lungs/health y shouldnt it be illegal to smoke in public? you can go both ways

if you want to kill yourself thats fine just dont to it around little kids or other people that dont smoke ie. entrances to buildings

Of course they are… it’s part of their economy. That’s where all of the big tobacco companies and farms are.

:word: I smoke cigars sometimes and I smoke cigs once in a while because the nicotine (sp) helps calm me down when i get really hyper. But I have the courtesy NOT to do it around peole who do not smoke. It is VERy rude and is bad for your health. I know I am stupid for doing it, even though I am not addicted, I just enjoy smoking every now and then. I fully support the anti smoking legislation because people have every right to breathe fresh air. I am very suprised Joe is not against this considering how much he supposedly cares about the freedoms that we are all losing…but isnt forcing people to breathe in smoke from others taking away their freedom to breathe fresh air?

i smoke and if u dont like it suck a fart out of my ass
