yeah cause it's the right of everyone to pollute the air with their smoke. Hey if you don't like it leave the bar, are better yet here are some other things that need to be banned for my safety: Sick people: if you have any type of cold/flu/upset stomach/runny nose then stay out of public, i don't want you spreading your germs. Gotta go to the doctors? Wait 'till you're not sick. Crying babies: If you have a kid who only cries well it's annoying stay away from my nice quiet area. Stupid ringtones: I don't want to be subject to them. Non potty trained kids: I shouldnt have to smell that while i'm enjoying my meal. People with aids: They may get cut stay in the house. I'm sure i can think of more, but I'm too tired. Agreed. Also people who think everyone in the world needs to hear their cellphone conversations. If I can hear you saying "Is yaw home" while I'm driving past you you need to learn how to shut up once in a while |

If I can hear you saying "Is yaw home" while I'm driving past you you need to learn how to shut up once in a while Because cell phones and drinking are just like smoking. Right. I hate cell phones, but I'd never try to ban them. The reason why I favor bans on smoking though? Why is it so important to smoke inside? Why must you smoke around people? Sure smoking is a choice for you, but it's unfair to force that choice upon others. I say this as I was born asthmatic and it sucked to be out in public only to have a smoker light one up & cause me to have breathing problems. |

Smoking bans are great. Puts all those dastardly ruffians back on the streets where they belong for two to three minutes at a time at regular intervals.

it should be up to the owner of the establishment to allow or disallow smoking. just put a damn side on the front door, so no one who is bothered by smoking will go in.

Country music should be banned in bars and restaurants. I don't care for it. What? I just shouldn't go to establishments that do play it? Naw, I think there should be a law passed banning it instead. They once put me in the non-country section of a Denny's and I could still hear the music. Why do people think they have a right to pollute my ears with such sounds?

Because country music can lead to shortening the lives of the people around you just because you want to blare it. Yeah. Same thing! |

So, for my health, I have to go outside? How about if they roles were reversed and there was a non-smoking bar? Would you complain about how it was unfair that you don't have a smoking section? I really hate to classify people, but this thread as proven it... Smokers are very selfish people. I'd never wish to force others in a situation they didn't want to do because of an unhealthy decision I made in life. Why do you feel the need to feel so damn entitled? It should not be up to you, or the smoker weather or not its allowed, it should be up to the bar/restaurant owner. Which, if you say what I've been saying, I'd be cool with. It's just that some smokers don't respect those that choose not to smoke. And, judging by the attitude of some of the smokers here, that seems a constant. |

I am not a smoker myself, but from my own personal experiance the non smoking crowd is much more inconsiderate. I have seen people yell at smokers in restaurants before the ban. I have even seen a man out on a smoke break chased around by a bunch of loony anti- smoking kids. When you couple the bs ad campaigns on top of the Hitler youth actions, I would much rather deal with a little smoke any day. |

If there is anything I hate more than smokers, it's avid over the top non-smokers. Get smurfing over yourself. I think that South Park episode about Tolerance, which featured that smoker scene, is dead on. The man, whom I essentially consider my father, is a heavy smoker. That doesn't stop me from loving him. |

Is Rob Riner really an anti smoking advocate? If so I find it highly ironic after watching Stand By Me yesterday. Just in case you need a refresher Rob has four 12 year old boys smoking all through the movie. |

I don't get how because i choose to smoke which ain't illegali should have to go outside in the freezing cold to smoke in a bar. Much worse goes on inside. Being forced to smoke outside comes with the added bonus of being easily being able to skip out on the bill. Seriously, you practically gotta be 3 miles away to smoke, so by the time they figure out you ain't coming back, you're long since gone. Genius!!! |

Meh, the smoking thing is going to go the same way of Prohibition.
The backlash is going to hit in a few years and even more people will smoke due it being taboo and illegal.

Let me clarify what I said earlier. I think that it is unecessary to have to smoke in a resturaunt or bar, and having to go outside to do it is not a hug inconvenience. I have friends who are smokers who do not complain about these things, so I don't see why other people seem to think it's such a mighty injustice being weighed upon them. People who drink alcohol don't think they're being mistreated for not being able to drink while driving, now are they.
Seriously, if you can prove to me why your willpower is so f***ing bad that you can't just walk 50 feet and smoke there, then i'll stand corrected.

How can you have Paris with people smoking everywhere? It's like Moscow without vodka.
