Default smoking bans

I'm for them. I don't like smoke around where I eat and prefer to goto some place that is all no smoking.

City around here put a ban on smoking in any type of restaurant about 4 months ago. Now the whiners are getting their way and it's effectively null.

I'm hoping for a state wide smoking ban.

When I was smoking I was all pissed off at smoking bans because I really did love smokingn while I was having my drink(s) and didn't want to have to go out of the bar every single time I wanted a cigarette.

Now that I quit it's great because smoke smells more foul to me now than it did even before I started smoking. Plus I go out drinking a whole lot less anyways so on the rare occasions that I do, I don't end up smelling like an ashtray.

Smokers :down: I used to be one so I can talk shit. h:

2nd hand smoke floats around the courtyard at work. I place one of our loud fans outside of our door and blow it back at them.

More people don't smoke than do...business might actually improve for some places if there was a total smoking ban.

I thought about that. The sooner patrons have the a smoke-free environment, the sooner they can get used to it.

It's bullshit. I hate you damn hippies. First we gave you the planes. Then the resturants. Now whole states. I hope you all die from second hand smoke.

I'm with John on this one.

I quit smoking too. Thankfully I don't drink as often as I used to so I don't have to smoke anymore
