All Right, my town has adopted a smoking ban for all public facilities, with only minimum exemptions. I’m so done with my human rights dwindling down, I’m fed up. I do not apprehend why non-smokers have such a aggressive personal opinion on what we smokers want to do. I understand that smoking is harmful, but I made a conscience decision when I took up smoking, alert to the fact it was harmful. Just because non-smokers want me to give it up, doesn’t mean that it will happen. Smoking in bars has been a favor, but most restaurants provide a designated smoking room. If non-smokers do not want to be in the smoke, don’t sit in the smoking room, you are not forced to sit in smoking. And as far as the employees of these restaurants that argue they are affected by second hand smoke, I don’t believe it. I held jobs in the service industry for over 10 years, and I know that almost all of thepeople I worked with were smokers. Doing business with people, always, compels you to puff. Also, I have never overheard any non-smoking co-worker ever protest about smoking while working in the smoking room. Putting a smoking restriction in restaurants and bars, will only save me money, considering I will not go out after the first of the year.
