Quoted: Geezers have ruined it with their pearl clutching. Luckily the people that supported smoking indoors are dying off. I am sensitive to smoke. I choose not to smoke- I shouldn't have to endure breathing your poison clouds. It seeps into carpet, drapes, and even walls. It stains teeth and wrinkles skin. The harm principle states: "people should be free to act however they wish unless their actions cause harm to somebody else" That's not communist that's libertarian. Perhaps the difference is lost on you. |

OP must surely be okay with the neighbor’s dogs shutting in his yard, dumping their trash in the back of his truck bed, loud music being played late at night next door, and parking their cars in his driveway. He’s all about freedom man.
ETA - he’s not worried about chronic lung disease either. |

I dont smoke. But i also dont support the government telling people what to do. Apparently the last bastion of freedom here is all for government control of private businesses.

I agree with this. If a bar wants to allow its patrons to smoke, that's their right. I have a choice to go or not to go into their establishment. It's likely a bad business model to allow smoking these days, but you should be allowed to make bad decisions. Do you remember the smoking rooms they had in airports? Holy fuck! |

Left three kids, one 9 (me), one just turned 8 and one 3. Her lungs were ate up from smoking, I saw the xrays when the doctor showed and explained them to my father and her brother. I had to breathe that shit from two people smoking the whole time I was growing up including being hotboxed in cars. Fuck anyone that wants to inflict their smoke on other people. |

Fuck no it wasn't! I remember that "smokers rights" shit all too well! Fuck all you goddamn smokers, polluting everyone's air with your foul shit. I remember, and resent to this day, all of your foul, dangerous shit I had to breathe into order to work. I hope all you smokers freeze to death standing outside for your fix.
That's one thing the liberals got right - banning all that shit. In restaurants, at work. Fuck you! It pisses me off just remembering all the shit I had to go through everywhere because of you foul, disgusting, selfish people. Fuck you again! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was pissed when my fave bar banned smoking.....until the next morning when I didn't stink and had less hangover from not chain smoking.  It's a pretty significant difference. I remember showering after getting home just so my bed didn't smell like an ashtray. You could smell the cigarette stink rinsing away. It seems crazy now. |

It was damned gross to go to a bar and get a film of stale nicotine funk on your clothes. Knowing what we know now, though, the anti smoking zealotry was a symptom and a warning of the authoritarian societal illness to come. I am usually in favor of more freedom, not less after the COVID lockdowns and authoritarian Karenization of society.
Down here in FL, most places have an outside area and it's not as big of a deal. Up north, it's a crappy situation either way in winter. |

Actually the country was better off before the internet, which allows any and every one on the planet to post stupid shit and then sit back, nodding their head, smugly satisfied with the "wisdom" they have dispensed.
And it forces me to patrol the internet, correcting all of those who are wrong. On the internet. |

People that went to establishments that allow smoking but complained and people that sat in smoking section because they couldn’t bother waiting for a non smoking table then bitch about the smoking. They’re just the muh’ emotional support animal fa** of their time.
The anti-smoking, pro prohibition, pro WoD social engineering campaigns. Brought to you by the same people that said smoking weed was supporting Bin Laden and terrorism. |
