| Non-smoking Party
Posted: 5/27/2008 9:25:46 AM | I like the idea of a non smoking party. It might be hard to accomplish but it would be a blast like all the other POF parties. I'd be there for sure! Thanks for the forum tonyn1.

Posted: 5/27/2008 6:16:50 PM | I would be interested in that too! No matter how good the ventilation, you still come home smelling like a chimney, my eyes are burning and I am hoarse from breathing it in. Nothing at all against smokers, they have rights too and love to see them when I go.
It would be fun to dance in clean air once.

Posted: 5/27/2008 10:38:31 PM | The issue of being exposed to smoke has kept me from attending a number of events locally. Even at places where smoking is prohibited indoors, smokers congregate next to the entrance, and often smoke is blown inside whenever the door is opened. I don't like having to walk through a cloud of smoke before I go inside any building.
I was a heavy smoker for 35 years, and I decided several years ago I don't want to be around smoke or smokers any more. Certainly I don't want to be exposed to smoke when I'm trying to enjoy myself. Having smokers stand outside isn't enough, they have to be away from, and downwind of, the entrance. | |

to me having a section for non smokers and a section for smokers isn't having a non smoking party... It isn't...per se.....however, as I understand the rules of making public announcements (threads)about parties on POF, they cannot be outright descriminatory or exclusive in that way. | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 7:01:10 PM | | Maybe we need to change the title of the thread to: Smoke Free Venue POF Party. Anyone can come but we follow the rules of the town or establishment and NO Smoking is allowed by their rules, not the party host. Is this concept really that difficult for some to understand? Or are they just being difficult? | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 6:50:02 AM | | we weren't shutting the smokers out, they can just go outside and smoke so we could have a smoke free room, that was talked about and thought understood...! | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 8:50:01 AM | Another idea would be to have an outdoor event, like at a park, where the smoke wouldn't be such an issue. Any other ideas or suggestions?
Bingo, my suggestion was another idea. FUN place, great ventilation(almost as much as a park, but better), lots of space,wide variety of things to do and free admission.
Maybe we need to change the title of the thread to: Smoke Free Venue POF Party.... Is this concept really that difficult for some to understand? 1st perhaps it is the OP that should make that determination. 2nd apparently you didnt "understand it yourself" since you DID make a suggestion of a PARK on THIS thread. Further, try to "understand" that many people who may like the idea and title of this thread will respond without reading EVERY post on this thread. Some will read the OP's post and respond. Many people do not have the time nor interest to read each and every post.
dah, reallt HUH??? Silly, petty, negative(dare I say grossly misspelled) post do not help ease any concerns of a divisive element within the concept of the thread. If we find it difficult to play/post NICE...why not play/post intelligently?

Posted: 5/29/2008 10:04:17 AM | | no more silly then your post...as you point out things like a typoyou know hitting the wrong key....talk about petty and if you read the other post you wouldn't have needed to say we were leaving out the smokers...and if you were my daddy maybe then you could tell how or what to post. | |

Thanks for starting this thread. I'm also a non-smoker and would like to see more non-smoking POF events. Several months ago I went to Blue Crew (at E. 96th & Masters Rd. near the Menards/Sam's Club strip mall), which is a non-smoking venue, to see about hosting a POF party there. Unfortunately they require a deposit, which is against POF rules.
Does anyone know of any other non-smoking venues?
I have sinus & eye allergies. I do occasionally go to bars that allow smoking but if it gets bad I have to leave. And I don't like the lingering aroma of smoke in my clothes! | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 3:26:24 PM | | This thread seems to have died faster than a smoker with lung cancer! I guess there aren't enough non-smoking POF'ers to have a non-smoking event! | |

Posted: 7/3/2008 1:03:46 PM | I would definitely be interested in a non-smoking event. I know some see it as prejudicial, but I don't date smokers, and I don't go where there's smoking, if I can help it.
I even had a social group a few years ago that was for non-smokers only. I know this is an old thread and probably no one has any interest in it anymore, but I'm new, so this is my first time seeing it.  | |

Posted: 7/28/2008 6:05:29 AM | | I attended one Bentleys party . Way too much smoke and I thought the bar itself was soo small I couldnt find a place to stand let alone a chair to sit in . Wish they could pick a larger building. Plus I didnt find most of the people there very outgoing or friendly | |
