Smoking bans: Good or Bad?

I can't read

Ahh Morg I am just having some fun you can have it back in a few. But the sig might stay.

 

[Outsiderzedge]

Weak-spirited people are more susceptible to addiction of any kind. Calvin, Wilhelm-Scream and number of other regulars here seem to be just that.

Morg is not such a loser though.

 

[Morg]

Fine have some fun and then go back to yours

I can live with that comparison.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Oh believe me I will have fun with her

 

[Lackey]

Tony you do know about the unwritten rule about stealing people's avatars?

If it's unwritten, then it doesn't matter

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Morg you can have her back now just read the sig

 

[Morg]

I disagree with that, I have tasted Elisha lips numerous times while sneaking in her bedroom

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

and each time you kissed her you kissed my kids

I think smoking bans are bad. Personally, I can't smoke, since it would cause me to... die. But it's a free country, you do whatever the hell you want.

 

[The Chairman]

I hate smoking and smokers. I can't stand it. I've lost both my grandmothers to smoking, and it's just really a terrible thing to do to yourself. Half of my dad's family are smokers, and it's just incredibly sickening to watch someone you love slowly kill themselves like that.

Smoking Bans are a good thing.

 

[Addendum]

Personal responsibility and choice are better.

 

[Calvin]

I don't get this "people I know made a regrettable choice, so let's not let anyone have a choice." It's a sad day when people want to have less freedom.

 

[Eric Draven]

That's what's happening with this world. It's going to be Demolition Man before we know it....

 

[Calvin]

Just out of curiosity, are you a smoker, Jack?

 

[Eric Draven]

Yeah, I am actually (although I really, really am trying to quit ).


But I really don't mind the smoking bans enforced in bars and restaurants though. I don't really mind going outside for a smoke every now and then. Gives me a bit of fresh air and just lets me relax from the bar atmosphere.


I, however, don't like how they enforce certain places OUTSIDE to smoke. Like at school last year, we were only supposed to smoke at certain designated places. And it's not even a large area, it was like a small little deck. I also don't like how they might even ban outright smoking anywhere near campus. Now that's just a bit ridiculous.

I have a lot of trouble drinking alcohol without a cigarette. It was really itching at me when I was in some bars up in NY.

3 days booze free now, by the way.

 

[Eric Draven]

With me, I usually have a couple of drinks, then light up a cigarette. So yeah, I don't really mind smoking outside. Although I am noticing that the bars I go to smell a lot like toilets now


I've gone, like, a week without booze. But that's more due to lack of funds than anything else. ****, I need a job

 

[Darren Daring]

Drunken, smoke ridden kids:

 

[Eric Draven]

Who's drunk?

that was actually the most difficult thing when i quit. now, life is easy. irecently went on vacation, smoked like a chimney for 3 weeks, and i havent even been tempted since i came home. after i ditched my remaining smokes in bahrain airport, i never thought about lighting up again. despite carrying duty frees for a mate that i had to hold for a week.
when you can do that, life is gooood

I can understand this to a point but it is also sad when a person wants to go to a public place but are not able to because smoking is allowed and it affects them physically. By allowing smoking in public places you are taking away the freedom of people who want clean air to breathe. The thing is there are two sides to the smoking ban and most people only want to see one side. From what I hear people are saying that a smoking ban takes away freedom or choice, well when a freedom or choice can affect you and other people then how is that justifiable? If no one smokes in public then everyone can enjoy all public places. I don't think cigarettes will ever become illegal because there is too much money to be made off of them. But nicotine is very addictive and while some people can start up and quit with no problem there are other people who are not that lucky.

If it's isolated public places where people go to hang out, we already said we have no problem with that being prohibited, christ. Pay attention. Wilhelm just. went. over. this. with you.

Again you missed my point completely.
