re: When restaurants allowed smoking.

Have had this discussion before. Not a smoker and I HATE the smell of smoke...but I think gov's doing this is massive overreach. Should be up to the bar or individual place to decide.

Only survivors were smokers I believe. Tail of the plane.

With the exception of a stewardess I believe this was true.

And they told us smoking was bad for our health.

How can you enjoy your food when your mouth tastes like tobacco?

Best smoke of the day was with a hot cup of coffee after eating a hearty dinner. I quit smoking ages ago but still remember how well it tasted.

For those of you who remember when restaurants either allowed smoking wherever or at least had designated smoking sections, did it take a while for you to adjust to the way restaurants smelled?

Regardless of whether you were a smoker yourself, did it bother you that greasy spoon diners smelled clean?

No, why would it bother me?

Both my parents were smokers. My mother was so-so but my dad damned near chain-smoked unfiltered Camels. He bought them by the carton, not the pack.

So I grew up with smoking but neither I nor my sister ever smoked. I preferred then (and still do now) restaurants where smoking was not allowed or sequestered.

All that said, I have never approved nor wanted a law limiting smoking in any establishment. I feel that should be the business' choice.

find it odd how many doctors and nurses are outside taking a smoke break.

It’s a high stress job and many work long shifts

My parents both smoked, and I loved it when the shite was banned. If you want to blow that shite around, go the frick outside a-hole.

I like not having my clothes reek after eating. There is a place by me with a decent burger but they still allow smoking inside so I avoid it

I’ll take a smoky airplane if we can get back to flights having no fatties, decently dressed people, comfortable seats, and attractive flight attendants.










Beats the hell out of this

My first job was a grocery store sacking groceries, and people would walk the aisles smoking. We had ashcans at the end of several aisles. I was there when the store banned it inside the store and it was always fun informing someone of the new rule. Most people were cooperative and apologetic, but some would let their Karen out.

Uh, you are the bitch arse Karen in this story.
I’m not surprised that you can’t see your hippocracy.
