I think the non smokers imposing all these bans are greedy hypocrits :angry: rant
They have NO issue what so ever using the tax money generated by cigarettes and paid for by smokers. If everyone all at once quit smoking there would be CHAOS. Thousands and thousands of people would lose their jobs.
HOWEVER, they want to raise the taxes to get themselves out of their deficits, so they can continue to blow the money on however they see fit, and then turn around and ban everywhere you can smoke because it's "Bad for you" and try to make seem like the ban is MY benefit. grumble grumble bunch of greedy hypocrits grumble
i agree..i said 2 my brother when he told me,right ban all fags,shut all the factorys down.THEN WE WILL SEE ALL THE DO GOODING NOSY BASTARDS,MOAN BECAUSE THEY AINT GOT A JOB:thumbsup:

Thats dumb!! I can understand not smoking inside but outside now..WTF?!?!?

If that happens they are taking our rights away slowly. I don't smoke anymore but still its just not right. Whats next? telling fat people they can't eat in public because it bothers overs? :angry:



Agreed...they've got all this scientific evidence that being over-weight is bad for your health...next, they'll be banning Twinkies...grumble Big Brother is watching & knows best for you...

All indoor smoking is banned here in Oregon, as well as 10 feet from any door that leads into a public building. At the airport that is increased to 25 feet and farther in some instances.

All of the hospitals and some of the colleges here have declared non smoking "campus's" soooo even if you're way out in the parking lot inside your own car, you're not allowed to smoke.

I'm with you on that one. Banning smoking from bars is stupid. Drinking makes you want to smoke. There is such a group as "social smokers". They don't normally smoke but crave cigarettes when they go out and have a few drinks.

There's a Salsa club back in Atlanta where my friend and I used to go every once in a while. They moved to a different location and once they re-opened, smoking was no longer allowed. There weren't any no smoking signs, we just noticed that nobody else was smoking. So armed with the crappiest Mojitos on the planet (they used to make the best ones in town) my friend and I went outside on the patio to smoke. One of the bouncers came buy and asked us to "please go outside to smoke". I said "We ARE outside". He goes..."No, I mean OUTSIDE." And pointed to a spot outside the entrance. So we went and finished our cigarettes there. He kind of smirked at us from the patio. I went up to him, ground out my cigarette and said "I wasn't really smoking you know, I was trying to kill the taste of this crappy Mojito. Don't think ya'll are gonna get your 5 stars in the Zagat THIS year. I'd start looking for a new job NOW if I were you." Then we left.

I just had to grab a pack of Marlboro Mediums, not because I smoke them (don't personally care for them)...but because of the package.

"Medium" does not mean safer. It refers to taste. "Mediums" won't help you quit smoking.

--For those of you that need to be reminded...

It is, but I find it funny that they have to remind us that this particular cigarette isn't healthy...which only means someone picked up a pack of "Mediums" and said to themselves "this is healthier/I will quit smoking if I smoke these"...
