How is that any more wrong than making it impossible for a smoker to find a bar where it's allowed?

Then it's understandable that you like the laws. But to smokers, they are horrible, horrible things. They make you pay out the ass, eat/drink at home if you actually want to enjoy a meal or stiff drink, huddle around in back alleys in the rain like crack heads or hookers all for something that's absolutely legal.

Smoking (Tobacco) is for stupid people.

That is all.

Like, I think Skydiving is cool, and I like it, doesn't mean I'm gonna try it.

You're very ignorant to think that the people who don't wanna be around smoke are the problem, its you guys who smoke everywhere you go, polluting the air, like if we're in a public place or a bar sometimes we can't even enjoy it, not to mention the (slight but possible) damage you're doing to OUR lungs, not just your own.

Yeah, hopefully in the near future we'll all be driving electric cars, and smoking will be outlawed. 🙂

As shitty, disgusting and dangerous to everyone around as smoking is, imo, shouldn't outright outlaw it.

Just make those sealed and contained smoking boxes out of glass. Making the smokers gather in there like a bunch of nicotine addicted chimps, slaves to their drug. They get what they want, it's safe for non-smokers and you can look at them like it's a zoo. Wins all around.

Yoou see as an ex smoker, I'm the worst, I believe all smokers should be shot, except the hot female ones.

I think its the worst for me, because I live with my grandmother, and I'm the only one in my immediate family who doesn't smoke, I am surrounded by it all the time and have to go in my room just to avoid it.

Worst part? She smokes in the house.

Its not like I have the money to move out either, not that thats a big enough problem that I'd HAVE to move out, but yeah.

I think I counteract it pretty good though, I eat relatively healthy and I pretty much only drink water, and by that I mean I only drink Bottled Water unless there's literally no more to drink.

This a thread to talk about the threat that thirdhand smoke provides.

Thirdhand smoke is like secondhand smoke, but instead of dissipating, the carcinogens stick around in the form of a brown residue that sticks to clothes, and even hair.

You are at risk if you're a smoker and you don't change your clothes after smoking.

Yeah, the problem here is that is the idea of SecondHand Smoke isn't as bad as ALL the propaganda made it out to be.

So if third hand smoke is like second hand, then it's basically being overblown to push a political agenda.

well, I just try to avoid anything remotely harmful, even if it had one harmful chemical in it, its still something I'd like to avoid.

I figure if a bar or restaurant has people smoking and I don't like it I just go to a different bar or restaurant.

Employees don't have that option.

Sure, any individual employee could work elsewhere, but SOMEONE has to work in that environment..

They already have those. It's cigar shops.

Love to visit the one at Mohegan casino, with nice comfy seats to smoke your 10X marked up stoogie and wave at the sneering passerby's. 🙂

Odd, the Casinos here are smoke anywhere, one of the few places smoking is allowed in a public indoors area.

Went to one once; wanted to leave after 5 mins, smoke was unbearable, my lungs hurt the next day.

Yeah, CT casino's have designated smoking areas. I only smoke the occasional cigar, and tried lighting one up. The entire row of slot players caught a thick cloud of second hand smoke, with the asian lady next to me loudly "He light cigar. Guy on end light cigar ".

After that I kind of bent my head low and around the corner to exhale, and never tried that again.

So is fast food and diet soda. Longevity isn't the most important thing in life, happiness is.

And a lot of time if we're unable to smoke in public places or bars WE'RE unable to enjoy it. You're saying that smokers should be unhappy everywhere that there's a smoking ban while insisting non smokers should be allowed to be happy everywhere period. We should leave smoking bans up to the individual businesses/establishments and leave it up to people to go which place(s) they prefer to frequent.

Employees do have that option... all they have to do is not apply for work in places that allow smoking if it bothers them. Some people don't like being around naked people... that doesn't mean that porn producers and strip clubs should go out of their way to keep their employees from seeing them.

If you could regulate other safety hazards, I don't see why you can't regulate any job requiring working around second hand smoke (Doesn't matter if you can choose a different job. People can choose not to work in construction jobs that don't meet OSHA compliance too, but we aren't about to have jobs without basic safety guardrails and such..)

Cigars aren't as bad, imo. The smoke smell is more bearable and cigars generally don't have the high amount of toxic substances cigarette companies add to their products. Still a dick move though, if it was a no smoking area.

Asians do love their gambling.

Even if the construction job meet OSHA compliance it doesn't actually make the place safe, it just keeps them from being negligent in regards to safety. But you can't get a job helping to construct a building and demand that you be kept far away from any kind of dangerous equipment. By the same token, if you know a bar allows smoking when you apply you can't whine about being exposed to smoke(well I guess you can whine... but not without sounding stupid). That's what you're voluntary signing up for when you put in your application unless you're applying for a job that's guaranteed to be away from the thing you don't want to be exposed to.

No, it was a designated smoking area. That's why I lit up.

But the smoke volume was a bit much. Even in a smoking section, it's pretty rude to catch someone in your plume..
