since welfare and carrying is so popular around here, whats your thought on smoking? I heard an ad on the radio today asking everyone to call some dude, (cant remember his name even if I wanted too), and ask him to quit waffling on the public smoking in PA subject. I think it’s your right to kill yourself if you want too. I smoked, I might die from it, my fault right? ---

I think the commercial on the radio is about second hand smoke. You have a right to kill yourself smoking, yes. And non smokers have a right to not have to sit in clouds of smoke from other people killing themselves off. I can’t stand smoking. ---

Your right it was about second hand smoke. But the solution was to ban all public smoking in all of PA. I guess maybe my views are slightly skewed from growing up in the 70’s when everyone, everywhere you went smoked. It just seems like second nature to me. ---

I smoke … I guess Im kind-of mixed with feelings on it. I understand that non-smokers dont want to be breathing in my/other smoke … but isn’t that the point of smoking/non-smoking areas? … So that one can pick which he/she prefers? ---

I don’t smoke, so I love places that have banned smoking. I hate coming out of a bar or restaurant and smelling of smoke. This is one of the reasons why I love going to Fat Heads so much these days. Yes, there are separate sections for smoking/non-smoking, but most of the time you walk out smelling of smoke either way. From the non-smokers point of view, this is a PITA. It seems like that in today’s society, people are trying to ban anything and everything that can possibly hurt another person. I say if you want to smoke, then smoke away, just keep it away from me. ---

What benefits do you get from smoking? NONE. You waste your money and in the end all it does is raise the cost of health insurance/healthcare for everyone else. I don’t know if it is just me, but I really tend to judge people when I see them smoking. It just seems like such a waste of money and unsophisticated. ---

My fucking lungs hurt, I cough all the time. Like I said, I wish i didnt smoke… I waste about $5 a day buying a pack. Yes thats about $1,800 a year on killing myself. I’ve tried quitting a few times, but it turns out they are pretty addictive. Fuck my life. ---

Damn, I was hoping you had it figured out for me. I wish I didn’t smoke. At this moment I’m about 10 days into quiting, but it gets harder each time I try to quit. Although I do tend to be the typical non-smoker when I’m not smoking, so I’m lost how to make it work for everyone. ---

As I mentioned earlier, although you’re in your own “section”, the smoke still spills out into a good portion of the restaurant. A person sitting in the “non-smoking section” can still either smell it or will smell of it when they leave. ---

I can agree with that, now that you put it like that. One thing though, it starts in bars & resturants … but then where does it end? … Are people going to want it banned outdoors as well? ---

eh, smoke 'em if you got 'em… i smoke. kinda wish i didn’t and try to be considerate about it. like i don’t light up in front of a bunch of non-smokers and i’d step outside usually and i don’t throw my butts out wherever. funny how it’s so frowned upon now but was THE symbol of sophistication back in the day (50s, 60s, 70s) ---

Smoking is banned inside Charleston city limits here in any establishment. Ive actually gotten used to the fact of smoking outside. Even if we go to a restaurant outside city limits, I still get nonsmoking. I thought it being banned in bars would suck, but its not so bad and I do enjoy that my eyes arent burning and I dont smell like an ashtray when I get home. Of course its still on me, as I am a smoker, but not nearly as bad. I was so against the smoking ban when they talked about it in Pittsburgh (bars only…restaurants I believe should be non smoking), but now that its happened here, I am pretty open to it. I just have not been downtown in a bar where all you have outside is a 6 foot sidewalk and the city streets. Ill stick to the good old dive bars in West Ashley.
