I dont think he was specific. But his main point was that non-smokers should just deal with the smoke, and that its not an issue at all for non-smokers to be exposed to smoke.

Well yeah imo 50 feet from their location is a lot.

A good way to achieve that and respecting both is having separate areas for smokers and non-smokers.

Ok. I'm not saying that at all. The current ban has had a lot of positive effects. There should be equal respect amongst smokers and non-smokers. If you see someone smoking, don't walk over in the general area and start complaining about the smoke. And the same goes for smokers. Don't walk up to a person or group of people and light up. Both are very disrespectful.

No I don't. And to be honest I'm not a fan of being around smokers as I hate the smell of it. I'm fine with them smoking as long as they don't make me choke on it too.

Of course. If I walk into a place with no regulations, I will try to sit far from those who smoke, but if for instance I dont have an option and have to sit near (if the place is full) I might ask them politely to put it out. And of course if they dont, I will insist that they do so, with not so much politeness this time.

No, I don't smoke, and I'm thankful my dad quit several years ago. He smoked heavily when I was growing up, and when he quit, the difference at our house was amazing. For one thing, the health benefits are good for him. Two, no more waking up in a cloud of smoke every morning. Three, no more people asking me if I smoked, because they smelled cigarette smoke on me.

One of the annoying things about college is students who smoke. Nothing is more annoying than walking along, and there's someone several feet ahead of you, smoking. If that's the only path you can take to go to your destination, you're stuck breathing in the smoke the smoker leaves behind. Quite irritating.

I like to hang out and study alot at Starbucks, and one of the nice things about the Starbucks stores here in California is that they've banned smoking in their patios and within 10 feet of the patio. It's nice to go into a Starbucks without having to walk through a cloud of smoke, first.

It seems like smoking is getting more restricted in public places. Hopefully, one day, it'll be illegal to smoke in public and we can all live nice, smokeless, odorless, cough-less lives.

Yeah, but I don't go mad with it unless I'm out in town. I have around 5 or 6 on a normal day, but if I'm out with friends I can chain smoke for hours.

I can't stand smoking. It is upsetting to see someone smoke, especially someone I know, but I have grown used to it, since my grandma, who at her age shouldn't be smoking, and my brother both smoke, as well as some other family members who I am not as close to. My brother smokes because he doesn't want to live long, but that's irrational, because smoking speeds up the aging process. You'll look old quicker than you would have otherwise.

I'd like to say im a casual smoker, but I got to Starbucks almost every night to hang out with friends. They all smoke, so it's really hard to quit. I've cut back quite a bit though.

Now that I'm back from my suspension :D I can spread havoc and mayhem again! :D I'm just joking.

Anyway, I've been driven crazy these past few weeks, and am on the brink of starting smoking. I honestly find it hard to respect people who treat smokers like some foreign being, they're just like the rest of the bunch, they have their reasons.

Anyways, do you people smoke?

Resistance_Kid

I like to smoke, but I will be honest...I wish I never started.

Do. Not. Start.

Trust me. It tastes great, feels great, and has all kinds of wonderful properties but if you consider yourself athletic at all it will totally ruin that.

I hope this response is ok, but...

When I do smoke, every weekend or every other weekend, it's only the "4:20" to calm me down/sooth me/unwind from a stressful situation or a hard day/week of work. kinda like how a cig smoker but no where near as often.

cigs get me nauseated/headrush/lazy if ever i do try to smoke cigs. must be all the chemicals in them or something..,

Don't smoke, and I think it's disgusting. I'm glad New York has banned it in most public places.

If someone wants to do it to themselves, that's fine. Just stay away from me so I don't have to smell it.

No, I don't. I've resolved to never enter a close relationship with a smoker, because I'd end up hating our time together. So far, I've been successful.

Nope, although I have tried it. I promised myself I never would but I was at a club with some friends and I kinda wanted to get out because the girl i kinda used to have a thing with was there with another guy so when one of my friends asked me if I wanted to go and have a smoke with her I jumped at the chance.

No. It's disgusting and I've had to smell other people's nasty smoke for my whole life. Why would you start smoking? Like really, you're on the "brink" of what? Go rent a dvd, go out for dinner, play some golf. Don't start sucking toxins into your lungs for lulz.

I don't, and I'm deathly allergic to the smoke, and the smell of it, on top of being asthmatic so I'm pretty against it...if it was just something that hurt the people who did it, I wouldn't mind, but it affects anyone within a radius.

I've tried to play it. My Dad and Grandfather took me a couple times during the summer, but to be brutally honest, I'd rather take a power tool to my skull than sit there for 18 holes...again.

No, the benefits are out weighed by the costs. I'm not a huge fan of alcohol either but i like the things it comes in, drugs wise the only one that really appeals to me is caffeine.

I don't smoke but I have no problem with smokers at all. There seems to be a lot of hate for smokers around here. I don't see why they can't respect other people life choices.

BTW I love this south park clip (skip to 2:10)

I smoke at a rate of about a pack or two a month. Sometimes I just need one.

I'm also really respectful for other people when I'm smoking in public too. I try to distance myself from a crowd, never exhale when walking past someone, etc.
