anyways.. getting off topic here.  but just wanted to support your statement.
i used to smoke roughly two packs per day, but i quit years ago. when i did smoke, though, i never smoked around those who were bothered by it. if i felt the need to light up while i was with them, i would excuse myself and either go outside or if we were already outside, go to a different area. it's a filthy habit to have, and a non-smoker shouldn't have to deal with it when they've made the decision to avoid it.
i don't see anything wrong with what you did.  |
I agree that a business owner should be given the right to state, "Yarr! All ye' who enter here will eventually die of smoke inhalation! You be WARNED", equating to just a big anti smoking ad as the front of the building...But whats bullshit...as i stated in post #39 of this thread, is that WONT work because the bars who choose to allow it, would make so much more money than the bars who don't, that all bars would REVERT to smoking for the revenue...(as they maybe should be. I don't bring my child to a smoking area...or a bar for that matter
)
And again, Sleazy, you're justified in what you did. Being a smoker, MAD props!! When I'm in Vegas...I blow my smoke up, and away.
Also as I said in post #39 -Dream, the reservation, not a place to choose as it is a refuge of smokers, but I'm a courteous one so I say...COUGH on that moffo!
