Wtf is the point of smoking, I still don't get it. It's just chucking a couple of logs into a restraunt, setting them alight and claiming it's his/her constitiution right "bitchez"; except totally different. Of course people could move away from the smoke... but its insanely rude to smoke while someone is having a conversation near you etc, as they are purposely polluting the air, it's like an arsonist only with air particles.

Imo, if you want to smoke, that's entirely your decision, but ffs keep it away from food and busy areas, its so friggin gay to find ashes in your food (trust me).

that is correct, i always ask if anyone has a problem with teh cigs, and i usually have it with a cup of tea not anything else

Smoking is banned in most restaurants here. I have asthma so I am fine with it.

Albuquerque, the city sloth and I live in just enacted a city wide smoking ban. If you're not in your car or your house you pretty much can't smoke. I've not personally smoked for years, but wonder what the laws are in other states/countries.

Do you like to dine in places that are completely smoke free or do you enjoy going to a nice smokey bar occasionally?

Here in AL we can pretty much smoke anywhere except for the fact that some city's have the smoking ban for restaurants. Thats fine by me (even though I smoke). I prefer not to be around kids smoking and I'm weird being around non-smokers smoking anyway. I rem when I stopped smoking for a few years I hated the smell of it and all. Most people greatly appreciate the fact I choose not to on those occasions out of respect for them. Dont get me wrong, sometimes I light one up anyway BUT ---

Yeah, most of the local restaurants and other places are beginning to participate in connecting city smoking ban.

In Macedonia there's a law (around two years or smth) that bans smoking at public places, but NOBODY respect it. Of course, because NO ONE will write you a ticket as the law says. Now you know why my country is crappy and no one respect the law and authorities. :S

Why do you say that? I think he's been pretty willful on several issues. The biggest one is the war in Iraq.

Because it's hilarious.

After the beliefs thread, I'm gonna stay out of this one.

Here in Alberta they just passed a smoking ban in public places. They also try to ban it in cars where any passenger was under the age of 18, but that didn't fly.

Unlike a beliefs thread, I think people can actually come up with a intelligible opinion. Of course not in politics itself (which is also as bad as the beliefs thread), just the whole smoking ban thing itself (but of course this is only the ability to post something intelligible).

For sure. I was just talking about staying out of the political posts that weren't directly related to the ban. I don't really know enough about politics to post an erudite and insightful argument, so it would just be my gut feelings that I'd be basing any posts on. That's why I'm not going to comment on the political stuff.

If he cant handle the stress of quitting smoking how the hell is is able to handle the stress of running the country.

Talk is cheap and his actions are lacking.

Midday at work and pissed off about Group Insurance and health care.

Just remember kids the company and government won't take care of you. You are responsible for your own actions.

[sharpy]

I live in Spain and they really dont give a fuck about where they smoke.
not that they dont care its just part of their culture and nothing that the goverment says will stop them. In Spain if a bar is less than 100 m2 then its up to the bar owner if he will allow smoking.
Fair play to them.
