Non-Smoking Areas

[Feynman]

Nobody has ever smoked in my house though, they always step out.

I'm sure if they did, you'd be the one in the ER.

I'm sure if they did, you'd be the one in the ER.

...I doubt it, but okay.

I think buisnesses should be allowed to decide for themselves in this issue. Don't like it? Vote with your dollar and get out.

Personally I hate the smell of cigarrette smoke. I have to put up with it when driving with my friends, and I'm in back seat and they're sitting right in front of me. I fucking hate it. Then my clothes smell like smoke and I have to go home. I immediately throw them into the wash.
I always have to open a window when riding in cars, and lately with this freezing weather it's been a pain.

Minnesota (or at least the whole Twin Cities area) passed a law a couple years ago banning smoking in all public buildings (except bars, I think). I actually just noticed that the other day... I was like, "Weird, I remember when they asked 'smoking or non-smoking?' at restaurants.

I definitely prefer my public establishments smoke-free, though.  caterpie;

<sup>I have asthma, and many people in my family smoke, and even though I hate it, I don't mind when restaurants don't separate the smoking sections from the non-smoking sections. If I start feeling like I can't breathe well, I can just step outside or something.

But, I live in the south, so the law was passed, and I can breathe just fine.</sup>

Its nice to enter a restaurant and not choke on the amount of cigarette smoke there is in the air.

i went to st. Louise over spring break and was surprised to find out that it's illegal to smoke inside anywhere. it was great! i can't stand cigarettes.

I cant really understand this site's infatuation with discussing ciggarettes as if they're the root of all evil.  If you dont like it, stay away from it.
Plus, being around someone who smokes occasionaly does not mean you'll die from second hand smoke.

It's kind of hilarious.

If you dont like it, stay away from it.

Leading to the discussion of Non-Smoking Areas.

There's plenty of them around. It should be up to the establishment to decide whether or not they decide to ban or allow smokers.

[sans culottes]

If a restaurant or bar or w/e wants to allow smoking, let 'em do it. But mostly, public smoking shouldn't be allowed.

[Geno]

Well I usually don't smoke in resturaunts so it really doesn't matter to me.

But I think that they should do something to get cigarette smoke away from children. Even though second-hand smoke isn't 100% proven we still shouldn't take that risk.
