Cigarette Smoking?

i don't smoke tobacco, but do smoke other herbs and things occasionally

One good thing has come from me being ill for so long. My coughing got so bad last week and I developed a fever, that made it impossible for me to smoke, so today I haven�t smoked for 7 days. Hopefully this will be the end of my smoking habit this time around.

Can't stand smoking. Makes my asthma start up, so I'm actualy kinda glad that smoking is not allowed in restaurants anymore, cause it has ruined more than one good meal before....

Nice to read other sane and healthy comments about this filthy habit.

I do believe in a lot of instances the bans are good, I mean smokers talk about their rights but what about people not wanting to breathe smoke? It HAS gone a bit far though in the US with the laws.

Also Scott is right about the smell. My good friend smokes like a chimney and gave me a jacket once to keep, (was moving out) and had to wash that thing like 3 times. The actual fibers were part smoke I think
Since I hated clubs I went to bars at Uni and often came home to the displeasure of my roommates, smelling like a giant cigg. I almost never did either, that was just from being there.
The smoke filled bar just has an epic atmosphere though!

If you don't want to breathe smoke, you just don't go to pubs where people are allowed to smoke. There are pubs where the owners and people who go there want to smoke. Luckily there still are some pubs where you can smoke.

I'm very glad it's forbidden in restaurants, but the ban in bars is a bit too much regularization-meddling. One should be free to choose his poison (well, at least if you don't expect social healthcare to pay for you cancer treatment)

Yes, exactly. To be frank, a lot of people are just being selfish...there ARE other people on Earth that maybe don't want to be around but the laws have gone too far. I'm ok with restaurants and that jazz, but the bans in bars, clubs etc is too far.
Especially outside places! My campus had a smoking ban, as do a few amusement parks I've been to.
If you are outside banning smoking just seems ridiculous
