Since I smoked for 4 years I understand why people smoke. My take is this....You should be able to smoke in designated INDOOR areas that are ventilated. Bars should also have designated areas to smoke. This go outside stuff in the Northern states is pure bullshit IMO. You go to a bar to smoke, drink and pick up chicks.

I think there should be smoking bars and non smoking bars. The smoking bars should have to get special licensing or something. BTW obviously "MOST" people don't go to bars to smoke or these laws would never be passed. I don't think that people shouldn't be allowed to smoke, I just think that I shouldn't have to deal with it. I really don't think that is too unreasonable.

My buddy Alex (never eifel towered a girl with him, but I screwed his wife 10 years before he did) has a bar and once the smoking ban was enacted he lost most of his bussiness, so to bring bussiness back he made his bar smaller, fired 1/4 of his workers and brought smoking back once he was under the size limits. He's doing more bussiness than ever now

Oh hey I live in NC, I know people smoke! I just hate the smoker's attitude of, "hey, if you don't want to deal with our stench, then stay at home". The worst part is how most bars don't have adequate ventilation to deal with that many people smoking inside.

Me neither.

Hell, I don't even like being in a car behind someone who is smoking. And don't get me started about the jackasses that throw their butts out the window so that I have to practice my avoidance techniques!


And hey, shouldn't you be studying or something?!

almost all my friends smoke and I have no problem with it. What I do have a problem with is them throwing their butts on my driveway, yard, landscaping like they will just desolve in a few hours/days. I HATE picking that shit up.

That is why I "field strip" my butts (knock the cherry off and roll up the end to make sure it is out) and throw them in an outside trashcan or my pocket.

Most don't though. Most just flick the butts out the window of their car because they don't want to be bothered to empty the ash tray in their car.

Don't get me wrong, I fire them out of the car window (after checking rearview for motorcycles first). There is a difference to me between putting them in an already littered median vs. dropping them in someone's lawn.
