Cigarette Smoke isn't that bad once you find out the stuff you breath all day long living in an urban environment. BTW, doesn't TAB soda cause cancer too?

a short list of every day items i've been told will give me cancer. If I made a list of every day things that can simply "kill you" it would be very very long.

Deodorant
Bras
Coffee
Beer
Plastic containers
Styrofoam cups
Vitamin E (anti-oxidant?)
Talc Powder
Cell Phones
Potato Chips
Polyester
Used Motor Oil
Suntan lotion (fucking ironic huh?)

actually, i think this list should become an ongoing post in and of itself we can all add to.

BTW The argument isn't about smoke. It's about rights. Bars and businesses are private establishments. If you don't smoke, and it bothers you, why the hell not just go to a bar that's smoke free? There were plenty of them already. Why then not make it illegal for a bar to be a sports bar, or a gay bar, or a biker bar simply because it's not your demographic?

In otherwords, this is America and you have the right to choose. The anti-smokers took away my right to choose as well as the business owners right to.

I have to laugh at the smokers counter argument "well item x causes cancer too, why aren't we bitching about that?" It is a very transparent attempt to draw attention away from the issue at hand. The fact is, none of you smokers would have this problem if you weren't so weak minded that you had to let yourself get addicted to smoking in the first place. All you had to do was turn down that first offered cigarette you chose (yes chose) to say yes to, and you would not be complaining about your freedom now because your freedom would be unaffected by smoking bans. You exercised your freedom of choice when you chose to take that first drag. Now your free choice has a consequence (consequences such as your addiction and control over your life and freedoms said addiction has such as forcing you outside to smoke)

Freedom of choice does not include freedom from personal responsibility.

"If you don't like what I'm doing, stay away."?! Really? That is the stupidest reply I have ever heard.

Why not tell a rape victim they are at fault while you are at it?

Why not just say masturbating in public is OK then while you are at it?

May as well leagalize drinking and driving with your argument while we are at it.

After all, if you don't like seeing someone publicly masturbate, don't like getting raped, or don't like getting run over by drunk drivers, you should stay away :rolleyes

What you fail to get is if you have your way, people who don't want second hand smoke in their lives will never be allowed to go out in public again. That is what you seem to think is acceptable and equitable. All so you can feed your addiction to nicotine that you are too weak to fight. You smokers are all alike, the very idea that you might have to actually wait 1-2 hours to smoke is so terrifying a concept that you lose all sense of reason. You actually think the acceptable solution is for non smokers to be forced to never leave the confines of their home so you can smoke whenever you want. Is is not only extremely selfish, but it shows you have an overinflated sense of entitlement.

In my scenario, you have to wait a bit to smoke. But you can still smoke in appropriate places

In your scenario, all non smokers have to never go to any public place again if they want to breathe air that is not contaminated by your cancerous sludge.

Now do you understand how stupid the "stay away if you don't like it" argument is?

and one more thing

I don't try to tell someone to change their menu, pricing, furniture, clientel etc just because it makes me happy.

You are doing exactly that though. "More public places need to be smoking places, and if non smokers don't like it, they can stay away" is demanding the clientele be changed

I think that any business owner should be allowed to chose whether they want to be a smoking establishment or not. If allowing people to smoke turns some customers away because they dont want to breath it in... So be it. If they loose smoking customers who go down the street to someplace that lets them smoke... So be it. Public and city buildings? Sure. Ban the shit out of it. Private businesses should have an option though. :\

Tadao answered this perfectly when he said this

The law was put into effect for the health of the employees, not the customer. That is why you can still smoke in family run businesses.

It all comes down to this: Does the thing I like to do effect the health and safety of others? If it does not, then it should be fine to do so, but if it does (smoking, drinking and driving, etc.) then there needs to be limits. Smoke at your home, smoke in your car, smoke in the designated area most places have for smokers, if you have a way to force the smoke out a window, smoke in your private office. But people are trying to eat, work, (though the bar one is the silliest example [one kind of carcinogen traded for another and all that] I add it in for completeness) and drink in these public restaurants. Private clubs exist for a reason, if smokers need someplace to smoke socially, make a club and do so there. Pipe smokers do it, cigar smokers do it, so why can't cigarette smokers do so?

The problem is if they lift the ban on bars, they open a can of worms because many restaurants will reclassify themselves as a bar. Now grandma with her oxygen tank can't go to Applebee's with her family.

It is addictive as hell. I don't think it is as insidious as other drugs (alcohol or crack are more destructive to others) but it is good at getting a grip on you and making you feel you need it to function. How many times have you heard, "I can't function properly till I have had at least 2 cups of coffee"? Once I got the need for it out of me, I found the need I felt was entirely artificial.

Choj had mentioned dinner two posts up. When I replied to you using "he", I thought it was pretty clear that I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about the next post up.

Also, it's pretty great how riled up you got when I made a joke off your joke. But then you thought I was serious. That was pretty funny.

I changed topics. Since when were you able to hold your own on here? I'm confused as to when that happened. I mean, you're no Jixby, but still.

I'll uh, check my other references on that one. Anyway, the spirit of my original reply to you was "Lol at the thought of Choj sending his own father out of the house to smoke during dinner"

It is addictive as hell. I don't think it is as insidious as other drugs (alcohol or crack are more destructive to others) but it is good at getting a grip on you and making you feel you need it to function. How many times have you heard, "I can't function properly till I have had at least 2 cups of coffee"? Once I got the need for it out of me, I found the need I felt was entirely artificial. I think some of it is chemical based and some is mental.

I think I hear that about coffee quite often. Coffee is probably the only thing I personally have some sort of physical addiction to. Sure, I drink alcohol regularly - at least one night a week to the point of tipsiness - but it doesn't create any bodily withdrawal symptoms if I don't get it.
However, some days I can get really slow, tired and plagued with headache without knowing why, but then I remember that I haven't had coffee yet, so I have some and it goes away.

You would have to drink it pretty seriously for a long time before you got that kind of withdrawalI would assume.

Not as long as you would think.

If you drink 3 Mountain Dews a day, it would take about 2-4 weeks before you would get a headache if you disrupted that routine.

Ok.... but what about coffee? I went through a stage where I drank a cup of coffee every (working) day during my morning tea break for a few months. I stopped because I was sick of it and I never once got a craving for it or suffered withdrawral from it. That isn't heavy drinking, so I assume that I would have needed a lot more to have any negative effect. To be perfectly honest I would say that most of it is in the mind, although that is based on nothing but the fact that I have never been addicted to anything.


I hope none of you suffer withdrawral from Mountain Dew after 2-4 weeks because that is actually really depressing. :\

I'm around coffee 24/7 (it's my line of work) and yes, I freely admit to my addiction. However, I can substitute tea or cola and that provides caffeine in different mixtures with other chemicals which (I've heard) dampens the dependency somewhat.

I don't "do the dew" however, as I find it disgusting. I make it a policy to never drink anything fluorescent.

The solution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus

Makes you look like a hillbilly instead of James Dean, but hey, it's a great way to circumvent the smoking ban, and it gives you cancer in the gum instead of in the lungs.
