i life in austria - we dont have laws against smoking in the public in generel but in some restaurants and public buildings we do have a smoking ban.
i stopped smoking abd i am against a generel Ban - because people would get crazy *g*
(of course - my clothes suck too... )
in Italy ( neighbor and loved summer Holiday Location) they banned smoking in bars - so many of my friends don't want to go to italy for holiday because of that.
yeah i hear of that too, you should NEVER go there, i highly advise, some of my friends got stuck there can't leave because of some things they can't tell me, but after things are through, heck, see them no more, blah blah blah
Here in New York they have passed a law that prohibited smoking in public buildings, the owners could pay to get a smoking licence if they really want one. I do agree with this though, I myself do smoke but for the sake of the people that do not I think that they should be entitled to go out and not get smoke blown in their face.
Really.. yucks.. :DQuote:

I voted yes too. Since January, smoking is forbidden in public places and thee workplace in Spain and I think it's a good thing. I smoke, but I also enjoy being in a place where my eyes don't sting and everything doesn't smell stale.
I voted yes too. I fully agree with Hobson. I usually use the same argument when I'm trying to convice someone not to smoke in close aproximity of other persons.
Krzemo.
Sure.. I mean , how many offices have made regulations to silence their cell phone ringers in office ( just like they do in cinema theaters etc.. ).. It's so annoying.. Would my whistling a tune loud within office be acceptable ?Quote:

That is completely rediculous, what next banned from smoking in your own backyard? :ehh:Quote:

Heres a story:Quote:

What is wrong with this world?
I voted yes.
I really dislike it when I'm in a restaurant and someone is smoking at a table next to me.
Being around smoke makes me lose my appetite,lol kind of ironic and weird. I don't understand how people can smoke while eating, its either one or the other for me.
I'm not sure people are aware of how overwhelming colognes and perfumes can be. Whether at a restaurant or especially in elevators, they make me woozy. I can understand not wanting to smell smoke during a meal, but some of the no-smoking laws are just too much.
yip!...perfumes kill me...I rather smell the cigs smoke than inhaling the higly inflamable toxic perfume:D...
while I can accept banning in certain public places, I don't agree with the banning at all public places...like at beach...it's funny they think the cigs buds are irritating while the plastic wrappers, cans, etc is nothing to them...just don't let anyone littering at beach will do...;)
nobody is saying that smokers are 2nd class citizen, criminals, not human or whatever. Its just that, some smokers are not so sensitive to other ppl especially in public. Most of them just don't care, as long as they can smoke. The fact that, the ppl inhaling the smoke are more prone to cancer that the one smoking it. Now everybody has the right to smoke but just be responsible about it. But knowing humans, who are likely to be uncaring and insensitive then we need to have something to refrain them from it, and that's probitional law.
Its really nice to see someone who do smoke, but is considerate to others who do not. :thumb:Quote:
