i prefer smokers. the yellow fingers and halitosis are a turn on for me

I would never date a smoker. Too gross. Total and utter turn off.

As for the ecological footprint, this discussion has come up more than once at work lately when comparing certain environmental issues between provinces.

A colleague used to live in Kelowna and he said they have had blue box recylcing for over 10 years and Calgary with a million people is still "testing" the idea.

A town of 10,000 in BC has a 3 bag weekly limit for garbage. Calgary has NO limits to how much garbage you produce.

Recycling is a way of life in certain provinces... their children have grown up with it.

Treehuggers do not abound in Alberta.

Because there is lots of cash in Alberta, the landfill sites are filled with perfectly usable items and second hand stores are no longer accepting things because they have no room for storage. Our increasing thirst for new stuff constantly is crazy.

We think we do something good when we recyling bottles, yet many people still toss bottles, cans into the garbage because they can't be bothered to take them to a bottle depot cause there is always a line up.

lmao

smoking doesn't bother me......too bad you don't KNOW me.

but thanks for making the assumption

OE: what bothers me is the lack of common sense.....EVERYWHERE

have yet to see any lease that says that smoking is not allowed.....


I have...in fact my current lease say no smokers, but being a non~smoker this does not affect me. The owners of the house are non~smokers and want to maintain their property.

I do not smoke around non-smokers unless it is ok with them.
I do not smoke where it isnt allowed.
I do not smoke around children.
I do not smoke in crowds where non-smokers may be present.


Correct me if I am wrong but these conditions would describe your apartment building.

UNLESS your building is under R-2000 code, or hermetically(sp?) sealed, stop kidding yourself.

Your smoke doesn't stay contained in your unit.

Unless they ban it altogether

There's a typical smokers' response if I ever heard one!

I can almost hear you yelling from here: I'm a smoker dammit! And I'll smoke everywhere and as long as I want and if it bothers absolutely everyone in my building, I don't care! Because I'm a smoker! Go breathe somewhere else!

hey edmguy.....

couldcha tell me then, how one smells smoke when they are on the opposite side of a closed door?

frig, I better be careful, I might run out of oxygen when I sleep with my bedroom door closed.

But telling someone they can't smoke in their own privately-owned home is not cool. I hope governments do not waste any money, court time, and legal expense trying to do that.

I myself have a Ford Exploder...looking to move up to Lincoln some time hehe...but will probably go back to the imports like a Passport

Next time tho...do like Borat....get a nuptial sack so she doesnt get away!

I got a Chevrolet...and i got it from there too! But not some ugly redneck truck!

Must be Caucasian
Must be catholic
Must have blue eyes
Must be taller than 5’10"
Must be athletic
Must be University Educated
Must not have children
Between the ages of 35 - 45

I also dislike the amount of money our country has to waste because of smokers (medical, prevention awareness, etc). I personally hope they continue to increase the tax on cigs until they are $30 a pack. Then maybe the taxes will outweigh the cost smokers burden us with.

Ok you two...how are they suposed to regulate and decide what bars/pubs are smoking and what ones are not?

still waiting for someone to answer the question

No ... city councils have made sure of that for public health. Don't blame this on the "non-smoker"

sure have a smoking only bar...and non-smoking bars..let people choose. isn't that the point? or is it trying to make everyone what we ourselves want?
