Posted: 11/20/2007 11:32:48 PM | THIS IS PRETTY SIMPLE I'M JUST LOOKING FOR THE OPINIONS & IDEAS OF .... "SMOKERS" (CIGARETTES) OF COURSE
DEFINITELY NOT LOOKING ANTI-SMOKING ... CRAP
SERIOUSLY !! I REALLY HAVE A HARD TIME !!
CAN'T DO THIS CAN'T DO THAT
DON'T GO HERE DON'T LIVE HERE NOT ON SIDEWALK
MOVE 20 FEET AWAY FROM THE DOOR
GO FREEZE YOUR ASS OUTSIDE WITH NO DRINK (NOT ALLOWED OF COURSE !?!...SO IT CAN BECOME EASIER FOR IDIOTS TO SPIKE YOUR DRINKS) AND NO JACKET SO YOU CAN CATCH A COLD (OR WHATEVER ELSE) .... EVEN GET MUGGED
NOW I NOT HERE TO PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE TO SAY ... SMOKING IS GOOD FOR YOU (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT)
ALL I'M LOOKING FOR IS TO FIND OUT FROM OTHER SMOKERS AS MYSELF ....
WHAT DO YO DO NOW ? WHERE DO YOU GO OUT ? HOW DO YOU SURVIVE ?
SERIOUSLY I HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN OUT (BAR //RESTAURANTS) SINCE THIS .... "BAN" ....
THAT YOU NO LONGER ARE A HUMAN BEING/A CITIZEN /A PERSON ....... NO YOU ! ARE LESS THAN NOTHING ... A LEPER / A VIRUS THAT WE (THE RIGHTEOUS ONES ) MUST ... ERADICATE/DESTROY
YES ! YES ! HARSH WORDS HOWEVER I DO FEEL LIKE THAT SOMETIMES ESPECIALLY EVERYTIME I HEAR A NEW ANTI-SMOKING BAN OF SOME SORT
THAT WHY I'M LOOKING FOR OTHERS .... CAUSE SURELY I AM ... NOT ALONE
MAYBE EVEN GET SOME ANECDOTES !!

Posted: 11/21/2007 12:29:52 AM | | wah. i put up with the thoughtlessness of smokers all my life. the pendulum has swungthe other way. we've had the ban here for years and know what? most smokers themselves even enjoy the benefits of a clean inoor enviroment. and as for smoking and nonsmoking sections, makes as much sense as peeing and non-peeing sections in a swiming pool. smokers here have adapted, so will you. good luck. | |

Posted: 11/21/2007 1:00:51 PM | I don't smoke, but I would be willing to suck it up and live with the nasty cigarette smell if I liked the woman.
No joke. Hell, I'd even buy her cigarettes. | |

Posted: 11/21/2007 8:01:41 PM | | I coped by quitting. I will never smoke again but I will also never speak badly of cigarettes. They were good while they lasted. Plus, I don't care what anyone says, you look cooler when you smoke...not too cool on a ventilator in the hospital 20 years later but...I digress. | |

Posted: 11/22/2007 5:41:13 AM | Most smokers, who still need a night out, grin & bear it by BiT-cHiN about how darn cold it is out there, huddling together for body heat.
I'm kind of picky when it comes to the music but, of late, I've found club Unity II. The dance floor is huge, the music great (most of the time) & it has a roof terrace that is closed up with huge heat lamps, so no need to go on the sidewalk to smoke.
I'm hyping myself up in order to quit Decemeber 1st, so hopefully it won't be a problem for me anymore. | |

Posted: 12/17/2007 11:09:23 AM | | i just quit smoking two weeks ago but even when i was smoking i had no sympathy for smokers at all. smoking kills. it kills the user and the second handers. they should completely outlaw cigarettes. that was one of the things that really made me think when i went outside in the rain, snow or wind and its uncomfortable as hell. i would think to myself what a idiot i am for doing this. i dont think they have gone far enough with the smoking regulations and guarenteed this is just the beginning. | |

Posted: 12/23/2007 10:07:54 PM | Basically I make sure to have one before I go in the club or at a bar or restaurant and then occasionally go back outside really quickly to have one even if I don't bring a jacket. I love to smoke and have my drink to so in this weather its kind of hard but I also refrain from going out to clubs or bars now a days but that's because I hate getting dressed and not being able to wear my nice shoes from the summer. I still smoke when ever I can but I'm so used to going outside (I live with my mom and she hates it) that it doesn't bother all that much. The best was at Greece where I could have a cigarette bassically anywhere. Oh that cigarette at the beach in the hot summer sand with the waves hitting your feet and enjoying the golden skin you get. Now that's my opinion of a great vacation or I'm dying for one again. lol | |

Posted: 12/24/2007 9:49:09 PM | | Well I, like the two other guy quit. It’s been a year and I still don’t go to bars well not that I went to many while I smoked but yes I do remember the dreariness of having to go out side every time I need to smoke. My big and the reason I quit was because there is no way to cope you will be treated like a outcast and that’s that, so your choices are to quit or accept these are the new norms. Or … get thrown out of a bar for smoking in the jhon. | |

Posted: 12/25/2007 8:50:58 AM | | Oh I also wanted to add that I've never heard of a club or bar not letting you hold your drink outside especially when they know you want to smoke. The worse is having a purse, a drink and a smoke all at once. It su(cks)!!!!!!! | |

Posted: 12/29/2007 11:42:03 AM | | almost one month of quitting under my belt and i am done forever. no doubt. i quit smoking. i did not try i did it. it sucked and still sucks. just quit instead of getting all emotional. has anyone noticed how emotional the smokers get in this post. if you go off topic slightly they flip out. calm down and have a smoke. | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 6:13:19 PM | I do not smoke but, I would quit smoking just because of this miserable weather.... or, if I dated someone who smoked ... threats do help...besides that.. there is nothing to cope with... you are not allowed to smoke anywhere anymore... would feel like being in highschool smoking in the bathroom getting caught and come out with the hands up in the air screaming* it wasn't me*    | |

Try getting a petition up for the gov't to allow "smoking bars"....non smokers have their bars, we can have ours.
They don't have a smoking room at work? Have to go down 5+ floors to smoke on a break? Start your break when you get down...company doesn't like it? Tough....tell them to open a smoking room. You have rights too! Wear a "patch" at work where it is clearly visible! Make the company pay for them by claiming them as a necessary expense for you to continue your job or as a health aid.
Light up anywhere...what are they gonna do? Jail you? Try fining you? They got proof? Evidence? LOL...run away.
Be the "masked smoker"!!!
Take up Copenhagen snuff and demand a spitoon in your favourite bar. | |

Posted: 2/22/2008 9:52:16 AM | Although smokers have rights, so do the rights of non-smokers.
The law was put in to protect them from the selfish shokers who surround us with second hand smoke. I remember back in CEGEP. You were not allowed to smoke at Vanier. Their solution was to supply a designated room with proper ventilation. Why can't that be a solution everywhere? Remember the bar owner here in Montreal who owned a nearby appartment building? He allowed his clients to smoke in one of the appartments. A private residance, therefore bypassing the law. I wonder what happened to him? | |

Posted: 2/22/2008 11:47:08 PM | lol - I agree with the non smokers - But please! Your solutions are lame.
It would be like asking a heavy woman to live on carrots, or a mom to live
without children - It's easier said than done - and we all wish we could.
What would be fair, is a bar that allows smokers only! So we can all die in
peace, instead of listening to all the crying of the no smokers. We know
what we are doing wrong - We are already in a cage! Can you give it a rest?
Smokers can argue about many things as well - Example - You know that
perfume you paid 160 bucks a bottle for - It stinks! The reason why it's so
strong - is probably because it was invented for people that don't shower
I don't wanna go tit for tat - But - As a smoker - We heard it all before, we
know what it does to us, we know it hurts you too. You win! Now, we smoke
outside, hear your constant ****ing, that alone is reason enough to start
smoking .... but - we get it!
In life - There are many things you gotta live with - Some you love, Some
you hate. As long is respect is maintained - What's the problem? But!!!!!!!
What's the cure for that rottttten stinky perfume that has not been banned!
lol - Food 4 Thought :P | |

Posted: 2/25/2008 2:43:13 PM | | In my area there are some establishments that don't allow smoking which I'm cool with. However banning smoking from every bar just isn't right. I believe it should be up to the bar owner and if he or she decides if it will make an impact on the business. Even though I like to smoke after I eat, I do see reason in banning smoking in restaraunts. To some non smokers the smoke makes them sick especially when they are trying to savor and enjoy their food. Some people are allergic to certian odors and that includes smoke. I've dealt with the smoke bans in the work place where people have to go outside to smoke. I go out in my car and it's actually more enjoyable but sadly hasn't kept me from smoking less. Sorry non smokers,you can't control other people's habits. Just like I can't control far worse acts of pollution like automobiles,wastes etc | |
