who cares? if people wanna smoke, just don't do it where I'm breathing. This is not about controlling people's personal habits. The problem is only when your personal habits spread into the area where I'm just trying to breathe air like a normal human being. Look, suppose I sat down in a public (and indoor) place. And I took out a beaker containing rocks of sulfur, & began dripping hydrochloric acid on it, releasing a noxious smell like rotten eggs. Wouldn't the people who ran the place come over & tell me to cut it out? "But I don't want to. I know its a bad habit, & I tried to quit a few times (TsssSSSSS!!! TsssssSSSSSS!!! >) But it's my right to do this! If people don't like it they can go somewhere else! (TsssSSS!!! TssssSSSS!!!) Here's the difference. The owner of the place is telling you to stop; not the government. We're saying it should be the owner's choice whether or not to allow smoking. This ad space for sale.

Amen. Actually a very savvy business owner pulled that off right next to where I live. The law in Florida is a place can't allow smoking if more than 30% of revenues come from food. He had a restaurant/bar. He opened up a bar right next to it, and said, "If you want any food, you can place an order with the waitress and she will go next door to get it." That way they're not serving food (but it is available) so smoking is allowed; and the regular restaurant is also there for the nonsmokers. Of course, both of his places are banking.

You're right. They'll pass a law, and then after people get used to it in about six months or so, they'll start to make it stricter. People will be pissed off at that too; but there'll be people who say "No, well, you'll get used to it and won't care after a few months." This is exactly how extremely restrictive laws get onto the books; one small step at a time. I guarantee you, within five years from now, smoking will be banned in ALL nonresidential places. Within twenty it'll be completely illegal. Funny thing is, I also half-expect pot to be legalized within the same amount of time. This ad space for sale.

If a bar or restaurant was losing that many customers because they allowed smoking, they would stop allowing smoking in their bars. When I go to the bar and play some retarded song (like Vanilla Ice) on the jukebox just because I'm drunk, and people start leaving because they don't like the music, the bartender tells me to stop fucking playing shit like that, cuz he's losing customers. If bars were against the ban, obviously they weren't losing enough customers due to smoking. This ad space for sale.

Okay, First of all, I think this guy is messed up, but I'm gonna play the devil's advocate. A lot of people like watching videos of people getting hurt. Like the base jump gone wrong (dam video) ... everybody and their mother has seen that; (some) people like watching other people get hurt ... i think it's fucking twisted as hell; i know what it's like to be hurt, i don't want to watch it happen to others .... this guy may just be taking it to the next level ... maybe he doesn't know anyone who's ever died and thinks its a great rush ... twisted, yes, but there are a lot of people out there like that. think about when there's a really bad car crash ... it get surrounded by people who just want to see what's happening; and i can guarantee at least half of those who find this guy's post sickening would be some of those watching the accident. he just takes it to a higher level, where he's actually looking forward to seeing it.

I'm wondering how far this banning smoking thing's gonna go: Question: Do you support banning smoking in bars/restaurants, and would you support banning smoking everywhere outdoors (I'm not talking about national parks, but more like standing outside a bar)? This ad space for sale.

I can understand banning smoking in very public places (ie: malls). Actually, I would expect the owners of the mall to ban it themselves since smoking would not help their profits. Resetaurants and bars are a completely different story. Especially bars. For the record, I don't smoke (anymore), and yes, there are some bars I don't like going to because they are extremely smoky. Well, then it's in the best interest of the owner to create a filtration system, or ban smoking if he so deems it necessary. Forcing PRIVATE business owners to do something that can greatly and directly affect their income because a few CUSTOMERS (that are free to do their business elsewhere) are inconvenienced is absolutely reatrded and goes against capitalism. If you don't think a smoking ban can affect a restaurant, read my previous post. Matt's Tropical Grill and Cigar Club in Indian Harbor Beach was greatly hurt by the smoking ban in Florida. That was a business where having a cigar at the end of a good meal was customary, and a big reason people would go there and not elsewhere. I could even (somewhat) understand requiring restaurants to have a non-smoking area (which they used to do) but not banning it altogether. This ad space for sale.

I assure you in some places, it can affect it greatly. We had a smoking ban go through in our town. Well, there's a fine rstaurant/cigar club heavily catered to businessman. They would have informal business meetings, eat good food, drink good wine, and smoke good cigars, while talking about their businness plans, and the owner said, they used to keep coming back because it was such a relaxing placae .... he got fined way to many times for allowing cigar smoking after the ban, and eventually had to disallow it ... yeah, he lost a lot money in the process ... this does show democracy, but just as it's people rights to breathe fresh air, it should be a proprietor's rights to allow whatever he pleases in his restaurant/bar. You still have the right to leave. This ad space for sale.

You are a Kitchen Knife. You are a very aggressive person, not hesitating to make a fatal move in order to succeed. You are always aware of what is going on around you, though other people aren't. You are over-protective of some of your valued possessions, though you gamble to gain more. If someone gets in your way, you kill them. If you hate someone, they die. Well, not literally. People fear you for your skills and envy your success, but you don't care. You liked to be feared in order to gain reverence. You are the most powerful of all silverware, and cut up peoples souls. I mean food. Most compatible with: Toothbrush. Funny shit. This ad space for sale.
