smoking ban

[crazybayman]

It sucks. I mean, take it out from everywhere, but respect the bars and pubs, damn it. No smoking there...it just takes away all the atmosphere, a bar without smoke is like a clinic were drinks are sold or something. Bars and pubs NEED smoke.

Definitely NOT. I hate getting all cleaned up, going out to a bar and come home smelling like an ash tray. It's f#ckin' disgusting. Not to mention how bad second hand smoke is for you, especially in a little hotboxed pub. Even if you go to a big pool hall, and play in the non-smoking section, you still smell like it. I can finally go out to a bar, and not have to worry about getting lung cancer, even though I don't smoke.

Anyways, they just passed the same legislation here too. Smoking hasn't been allowed in public places here for years now, but they finally eradicated it from bars and pubs this past weekend (July 1).

There should be no smoking ban anywhere, period. (With the obvios exception of places like hospitals, etc.) The smoker has the right to smoke where he pleases, and anyone who doesn't like it can either A) Deal with it or B) Go somewhere else. It's ridiculous to think that our country has become so oppresive that we think it is okay to prevent people from smoking in certain places.

WTF?? What gives a smoker the right to pollute MY air. Smokers will eventually become a minority, and it is smokers who should therefore go someplace else, i.e. outdoors, or go stink up their own home. To have it any other way is just ridiculous.

Yes it is okay to prevent people from smoking in certain places. Its harmful to those around them.

No offence meant to those smokers here. I'm just being logical.
