Blas- in response to your "work someplace else"...what if there isn't any place else?
What if someone is a good bartender and that's what they make good money doing? They should just drop it, then?
I applaud you and PowerBoy for being courteous smokers. I wish there were more people like you.
I wish that we didn't need a ban. I wish that all restaurants had ventilated areas for us non-smokers to go so that we didn't have to go home smelling like an ashtray. I wish there were choices of smoking and non-smoking places.
Sad fact is, there never were until now.
And I can finally go out and enjoy a meal. I don't have to hide at home...or sit down...think "Oh good...no smokers.." only to have someone light up at the table next to me.
By Rahmota's logic, since I was sitting there, NOT smoking, FIRST, the smokers should have to take it elsewhere. OR maybe they could just be courteous and ASK BEFORE LIGHTING UP.
I have friends who smoke. They do not blow smoke in my face. They go OUTSIDE to smoke when I am around. They do not smoke in my car. They ASK ME IF IT'S OK before smoking around me. They know that smoke has adverse effects on me.
I do not go in their homes and tell them to stop smoking! We just compromise.
Smoke all you want. I don't care as long as I don't have to suffer for it.
Smoke in your house. Go outside and light up. Go confine yourself to a bubble and smoke yourself to oblivion! It's your choice. But don't come sit next to me while I'm eating and think I'll be ok with it. I'm not.
I agree with the pissing in the pool statement. Piss in your own pool. Don't mess up my waters because you don't want to walk to the bathroom.
