Beer and a Smoke. . . or not!

Right now they are trying to pass a law here in Minnesota: And that is you can't smoke cigarettes in bars. What kind of crap is that? I mean, I know it's a public health issue. But if you hang out at bars enought where the second hand smoke will effect you, you're probably not the healthy type anyway.

Oh well, I should probably quit smoking anyway. Anyone else here quitting tobacco?

I'm not that stupid.......no2

II'm stupid ✅
I'm not quitting... never tried.... someday will ✅

They tried that in Australia too... put on these ad's on TV with bar staff complaining about 2nd hand smoke. We laughed, they lost. 🙂

Being an ex-smoker I find the smell of cigs quite horrendous, but I do however like to drink lots of beer so it would be nice if I could go out and not come home smelling like a stale ashtray.

Oh and just to give people that want to stop smoking a booster just remember - everyone quits smoking eventually! 😂

I stopped smoking a few years ago, it was hard but well worth it in the end.

However, I can't imagine stopping drinking. 😱

ToMacco you're back! 😱

i think it's a good idea, why should those who choose not to smoke have to suffer second hand smoking because others want to destroy their lungs

They're just after doing it in ireland where you can't smoke in public places. i think it's a good idea ✅

in mexico, we eat tacos!

they have that law in California...it's actually kinda nice for us here because they always open up somesort of patio for the smokers to go out and use. I don't smoke cigarettes, but i spend a large portion of my nights out on the patio because i like the open air, and generally speaking...it's easier to hook up with smokers than it is to hook up with non-smokers.

I don't think it's right to ban smoking from bars, though I've never tried it and never will myself.
What they have to do is force them to have seperate areas for smokers and non-smokers ✅

New York has a smoking ban. No smoking in public buildings. You can imagine the uproar. Businuss lost customers and waivers were soon handed out. It's a good idea, but it's not feasible.

good idea, i like my lungs pink tyvm.
u can kill urselves sumwhere other than a bar surely?

But its okay to go into a bar and destroy your liver? Why not your lungs, you won't need them for very long without a freakin liver. I say don't ban cigarettes.

i destroy MY liver, im not throwing alcohol down every1 else near me's throat aswell

What's your point? No one accused of you of forcing others to drink.

i think you're missing the point ZERO

my point is Alcohol is fine in bars because its a personal choice...... whereas smoking affects other ppl around u, who maybe dont want to get lung cancer?

im actually not too bothered, i wouldnt complain about smoking in bars..... but id prefer ppl didnt

smoking on patios works out nicely..

as i've said before, going out and getting some fresh air is actually quite nice.
