Yeah, same here. I would kinda rather smoke outside, whether it was the law or not. Sit at the bar with a smoke, and the cloud just hangs around you. It's easier to see the band, too, when they're not obscured by the fog.

I'm surprised this is happening in the midwest. That's scary. Washington state voters just passed an initiative that bans smoking within 25 feet of any public building whatsoever, obviously no smoking inside either. Bars and Casinos included. Welcome to fascism. Seat belts, smoking, pot, and domestic violence..........okay so domestic violence is bad, mmkay.

I've always been a non-smoker. Two public places where smoking should be alway be allowed are bars and anywhere out side. The "no smoking entrances" to buildings are pure facism. You aren't going to get cancer in the 3 seconds it take to enter a building.

That's a great point, because it isn't about getting cancer, it's that anti-smokers don't like the smell. They gained momentum with the tobacco settlement a few years ago and now nowhere is safe.

My wife can't smoke anywhere on company property, not even inside her car.

You'd have to hit me hard, cuz I won't shut up. I'd definitely have a response.

Been banned in bars here in cali for a while. If you need a smoke just go outside. I hated that shit bieng blown in my face. Smells like crap.

**luv** · 11-15-2005, 04:34 AM

Smoking can do just as much damage and smell just as bad outside as it can a few tables over. Good thing they haven't banned it in bingo halls. The little old ladies would have to start knitting clubs or something.

It should be up to the owner of the establishment, not a law to follow. If you don't like going somewhere because people smoke, then don't go there.

He got, I believe, 11 votes.

I go to Delaware every summer to vacation and you do learn to live with it. But there is one place that I go to that it just kills me not to be able to smoke inside and that is the Starboard. The greatest bar in the world in my opinion.

I want to thank Chiefsplanet for being non-smoking. It's made for a much cleaner BB experience.

I'm not sure that that law (others like it are becoming more prominent) won't be challenged. There's got to be some sort of precident where yes, you're on private property, but you're within your OWN private property smoking. As long as the windows are up, she ought to be able to smoke in her own damn car. Geez.

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the smokers
and I did not speak out
because I was not a smoker.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Sorry, I know that some of you take this stuff seriously. Here in Fayetteville, it was voted on. The voters voted for the smoking ban.

Geeze...give up cigarettes....they're terrible for you....they will kill you.....but before that happens...your family will get to see your tired, smelly, whining, wrinkled ass carry around and oxygen tank before your pathetic ending. And why should they care as you willfully destroyed yourself? Because they're family and they have to...and look at what you did to them in the process....all because you couldn't give it up. Better hope the power doesn't go out....or you won't be able to get oxygen like that dead guy in New Orleans after Katrina.
