| It's about time, the ban is a good thing for sure.
The thing I'm going to hate seeing most is the myriad of smokers standing outside the restaurants and bars to light up, it looks comical like back in my high school days<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p
Yet I still think this is far better than my family and I having to inhale the second hand smoke and also having the opportunity to smell like smoke for the rest of the day or night. I've gone into other places after being in a smoke filled room only for a short while and was asked "I didn't think you smoked" that really pisses me off having to make excuses for someone else’s bad habit. Just glad some other bad habits aren't allowed in public!!!<O:p</O:p

My biggest grievance from playing in the band in various bars throughout the country was always the smoking. The 1970's and 80's seemed to be much worse than it is these days. Better filtration systems and smoking in general being on a decline I'm sure accounts for a good share of this. <O:p</O:p
To say the least I don't even like sitting next to the smoking section when I eat out and try to avoid it at all cost.<O:p</O:p

The smokers don't care if they smoke while you eat it doesn't bother them. Get this! on many occasions back in my band days (yes I still play) I’ve even seen people smoking while they themselves are eating food. How can they possibly care about you if they don’t give a crap about their own well being, never mind the taste it must have.

I have a friend who has had a lung removed. Yet at the place he works they just continued to light up right in front of him, even on his first day back. How inconsiderate is that!!!
"Smoke gets in your eyes" please ban the smoking

Well I believe I have spouted long enough, lucky I didn’t get going. musicmaker1  |
