Square Wheels Posted December 18, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2015 Personally, I do not like cigarette smoke. I am happy it's banned almost everywhere in Massachusetts. Now Boston raised the minimum age to purchase to 21. I think that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted December 18, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 18, 2015 We are both bothered by smoke, but otherwise we don't get too excited about what others do. We are glad smoking is banned from some areas, and we both move pretty fast and hold our breath as we pass outside smoking areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted December 18, 2015 Share #3 Posted December 18, 2015 Smokers are giant buttheads. That is a pun, son. I hate smoke, makes me wheeze. I feel sorry for the smokers that are hooked and can't quit. As obnoxious as they are, it would suck to be in that position in the winter, especially. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted December 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2015 I wonder what would happen if a person who had a prescription for medical marijuana tried to smoke their medicine in a smoke-free zone... Would, say, the restaurant, get sued for discriminating against a person with a medical disability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, there is really no need to smoke it, there are so many different ways to have at it, edibles, drinkables, vaporizers, trans-dermal patches, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan ★ Posted December 19, 2015 Share #6 Posted December 19, 2015 I am so glad I was able to kick the habit so long ago. Going on 39 years smoke free. I detest the smell of cigarette smoke, although I find the smell of a quality cigar agreeable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted December 19, 2015 I'm so glad I never even tried it. I've been addicted to many foods and have a really hard time kicking those. I can't imagine how hard cigarettes or drugs would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted December 19, 2015 Share #8 Posted December 19, 2015 Ok, who dicked with my avatar? As a lifelong asthmatic and frequent sufferer of respiratory infections, I hate smoke. I love the smell of a good cigar but especially pipe tobacco. It does pain me to see healthy people destroying their lungs with cigarettes. People take respiratory Heath to lightly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted December 19, 2015 Share #11 Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) I don't hate smokers, but some behaviors bother the crap out of me. If you're going to smoke, have a !@#$ing ashtray in your car. You have no right to throw your butt out the window any more than I have the right to take a crap on your back seat. Several of you who live out west have undoubtedly seen the damage caused during dry season by some %$@* who tossed a butt resulting in a thousand acre fire. If you're going to smoke outside your car, find a !@#$ing place to dispose of your butt when done that isn't the ground. I have seen completely numbnuts people throw a butt when a trash can is ten feet away, because it's become standard behavior. Once or twice I have called out, and said "Hey!" (smoker turns around, puzzled) "You dropped this", and thrown it in the trash. If you smoke and do not do this, you are a fool and a simpleton. Your habit is not a free license to litter, you dumb $#@!, learn it. If you're going to smoke, and your friends are near you and they do not smoke, ask if they mind if you do it near them. We may be okay with you completely as a person, but maybe we just don't want to be next to you while you do it. Optionally, consider saying "I'm going to go have a smoke, I'll be back." Remember Rules 1 and 2 in the process. All I want are responsible smokers, who learn that it doesn't mean you get to be discourteous or a litterbug. And yes, I'm very happy that my city has made rules that don't allow smoking in public establishments; it allows me to patronize places I previously would not, due to not being able to enjoy them with a giant blue cloud. I'm not against the idea of a restaurant or a bar having a smoking section as long as it is hermetically sealed off form the non-smokers, but something makes me think that's cost-prohibitive. P.S. To the smokers, whether you quit or not is up to you. I'm not going to try and guilt you or judge you; the effects of smoking are well known by now, and it's your choice. Just show some respect and obey rules you should obey whether it's with smoking, food wrappers, or wearing perfume. (Disclaimer: Had the occasional cigarette until age 23. Probably would still love those clove cigarettes that burn small holes in your lungs; probably would enjoy the very occasional pipe or cigar).
