chicago smoking ban, wtf !?!?

[Skink]

I quit smoking almost 3 years ago... My curtains are no longer yellow and my windshield is clean... I would have a harder time selling my house if I still smoked in it... I really can't see any advantages in smoking... I am all for the banning in resturants and public places,,,at one time I was dead set against it... Smoking is just plain bad...

but hten there are businesses such as shisha bars taht cant operate... the government shouldnt be able to restrict to the point where some people cant even work...

and if the issue is second hand smoke then why cant they just make a smoking room? they have them in japan and its pretty much a giant glass box where people can smoke in.... no smoke comes out so no danger to those who dont want to be exposed...

c'mon, you can't tell me it's not ridiculous you can't smoke in bars (or strip clubs for that matter) that's just fuckin stupid...

i second that statement, and im not a hater on cigs. i started smoking when i was 14 and just quit for the new year, 5 months strong now so i know where you smokers are coming from feeling you shouldbe able to smoke wher you want, but whats so bad about going outside with a buddy and raging one there, granted the weather is ok? a little hassle but second hand is really that bad if you have a room full of people lighting up every 15 minutes. i was playing in a poker tourney at my buddies house who smokes. him and 4 of my friends were ragin cigs all night. in the morning my chest hurt like fuck, and i dont smoke anymore.

yes that is a litlte over the top i think, i only agree with the banning of smoking in resturants, especially family resturants where people bring their kids n such

that shis is also in europe. This january i went to rome and discovered that smoking is banned in every place except home and outdoors. Shit smoke detectors were on in my hotel room and there was no ash tray... and i had a big sticky ball of charas in my pocket:smokin: Thank god i was on top floor and my balcony was separated with walls from the others...

I'm with you.

I quit smoking about a month ago, and I used to be against the prohibition of smoking in closed spaces (they're going for that here in Portugal too).

I used to say it's my right to smoke where I want etc. The only thing that I've always avoided was smoking in crowded restaurants and near children. Other than that I used to say I should be able to smoke wherever I wanted to.

I was wrong.

Tobacco smoke does way too much harm to entitle any smoker the right to make other people inhale it. And the smell sucks (I couldn't notice the smell when I smoked myself).

I don't agree with stopping people from smoking in their own houses (as someone above said). Their house is their business, their private property too. But places like coffees and shops where lots of unrelated people gather.. I fully agree smoking should be banned there -- for the sake of the non-smokers health.

how the fuck can the government tell PRIVATELY owned buisnesses what they can or cant do in there own buisness? if you dont like the fact people are smoking in a resturant fucking dont go in there. dont fuckin punish everybody

Don't punish me with your nasty ass cigarette smoke while I'm trying to enjoy my meal. My state has the ban 100%, and I think it's great in all public places. Take your ass outside.

i agree! i feel people should have the choice but not in a public place as its public.
