Hey here's an idea... quit smoking. I know it is tough, my girlfriend quit after smoking for 14 years. But she did it.

Are you okay with your next door neighbor's smoke sometimes escaping his personal residence when you might be so inconvenienced you that become aware that he smokes?

I'll bet you are.

Go ahead, admit it.
I'll admit it. I'll bitch to hotels when I'm anywhere near the smoking rooms. I'm paying for a product and I'm not paying for one that reeks of stale ass.

Common areas within apartment complexes is the issue. Commonality is precisely why we should respect the wishes of others and not intrude upon them. The entire reason states have been forced to take charge is because the tobacco lobby has too much influence on the federal government.

Actually, the odor doesn't bother me as much as the ill-effects. As long as I'm not breathing in smoke, the odor is no more offensive than a shit fart.

I don't. That would be rude.

Ok I get it! if I opened a cigar bar that a nonsmoker would never enter I do not have the right to because the nonsmoker is offended! I was really out of line thinking I have the right to open a bussiness that allows people to enter if they only if they choose! is way too offensive :doh!:

i would vote no. i dont think the government should tell a private business owner how to run his business. if people dont want to smell smoke at my bar they should go to a different bar. but thats not enough for some people, they want to outlaw anything they think is unpleasant anywhere.

I voted yes. I have buried my father, aunt and uncle due to emphysema and lung cancer. I am in medicine and have personally seen the destruction caused by smoking and second hand smoke. Below is just 1 statistic you need to know.

The states with death rates in the fourth interval (64.6 to 77.2 per 100,000) include Arkansas, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
*Rates are per 100,000 and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population.

With that attitude you will NOT be invited to join the American Nazi Part--excuse me, I mean the American Cancer Society.
