Since my request for withdrawal of that post, I have sent the mods this:
Really? How long does it take to pull a post? I’ve been SUSPENDED for a week for a perceived SLIGHT more quickly, FCOL!
I erred, and want it removed. Good gravy, get with it.
Just so you know.
Sometimes you get what you deserve, I guess...
my, my aren’t you a big tough man, and you better hope he doesn’t have a CC permitl
“Life can be a crapshoot.”
Remember a Runner named Jim Fixx?
James F. Fixx, who spurred the jogging craze with his best-selling books about running and preached the gospel that active people live longer, died of a heart attack Friday while on a solitary jog in Vermont. He was 52 years old.

It's worse than that. Within minutes my eyes burn, my throat burns and my sinuses start to clog. It's not just the smell although having to talk to a smoker just after they've sucked down a cig is pretty disgusting - their breath makes me want to puke.
Yeah, NO.
You want Cheech blowing weed in your face?
If tobacco won’t go away at least outlaw filtered cigarettes. Filter litter is everywhere. Besides non-filtered cigarettes taste better anyway.
If I had to bum a smoke I would have to break off the filter first! (I was up to 3 packs of Camel straights and half a tin of Copenhagen a day, and loose leaf Red Man if I was out in the woods. Those were the days!) The only way I could quit was to promise myself that when I was 80 I could start up again! Except I’ve worked it down to 70 - although my wife will no doubt correct me!
I won’t though. Well - maybe on my death bed.
Camels. They have changed. Player Straights were good. But I enjoyed a pipe with custom tobacco found at the tobacco shoppes. I put it all up about 25 years ago. Luckily I was a puffer and not an inhaler with the pipe. The cigs I laid off of 35 or 40 years ago.
Sure thing tough guy. And if I find your boyfriend’s perfume repulsive while I’m enjoying my cigarette, I’ll come show you why I don’t want you two there.
If the property owner/manager says it’s ok for me to smoke there, I’m smoking there. If you have a problem with it, don’t patronize the establishment.
There’s an infinite number of real problems to be addressed before we worry about smoking bans. That said, liberty is an issue. Once again normalizing smoking would be truly a bad thing, there’s enough stupid young people who take up smoking as it is even with all the evidence against it.
Amen
and I will come over and forcibly show you why I don’t want you doing that.
you should simply exercise your numerous opportunities to attend non smoking restaurants; then you wouldn’t have to go around being an internet tough guy...
Good for you. It’s been about 25 years since I quit smoking. And drinking. Smoking was harder. I recall liking Lucky Strikes too for awhile. Pal Mals didn’t quite do it for me.
Why would you frequent a restaurant whose owner allowed smoking?
If you had a family member highly allergic to dogs and frequented an establishment that allowed dogs, would you beat up a dog in the next booth too?
I hope you are not one of the animals who doesn't care who they smoke around and then flick their garbage butts out of their cars like the world is their garbage dump.
They should be shot on sight.
“The average smoker is low education low income.”
Yeah, and we should extend your attitude to all things. Let’s ban low education and low income folks from all other economic activity!

Of course not-——that type even tosses cigarettes on the ground when they are standing outside right beside a smoking disposal receptacle.I’ve seen it.
They are slobs and the fact that they smoke has nothing to do with it. They probably toss everything,

Truly. My son smokes, even after having a step-dad with COPD. It breaks my heart. He claims to want to quit but.....
Me too. If there are non-smoking establishments like bars and restaurants and cruise ships, my wife and I won’t go since we are both smokers. Of course that means that we eat most meals at home which saves a bunch of money. We don’t go to bars because we don’t drink alcohol. Unless bands we know are playing. We are pretty well educated and have adequate disposable income.
“Passive smoking has many downstream health effects—asthma, upper respiratory infections, other pulmonary diseases, cardiovascular disease...
A large body of research has linked passive smoking to lung cancer, as well as to coronary heart disease, asthma, emphysema, respiratory infections, sudden infant death syndrome, low birth weight, and childhood ear infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, secondhand smoke is responsible for 46,000 heart disease deaths and 3,400 lung cancer deaths among US nonsmoking adults each year
