| Re: Smoking and Smokers
Okay, I'll be the opposition. I smoke, and in my town smoking in bars and clubs is still okay. One nearby town has banned smoking indoors (other than private residences), but there really isn't anything there that I'd go to anyway. The nearest major city (Chicago) has also banned smoking indoors, other than smoke shops and hookah bars (anywhere people go specifically to smoke).
Smoking bans don't bother me too much; I don't even smoke in my own home, so I'm used to going outside. What I hate is all the rabid non-smokers who act like they're going to die as soon as I light up (after I've already gone outside and far away from them). Yeah, I know the risks to me, but unless I'm blowing it directly in your face, there isn't a whole lot of damage being done to your body. Honestly, I'm getting really sick of all the whining. Show me the evidence on one person who died of lung cancer or emphysema due to second-hand smoke in an open environment, and I might relent. And where are all you kids going that you have to deal with thick smoke and evil smokers?
