This has been going on for a couple of years, and apparently if the guards try to tell them to stop smoking they just get told to fuck off..
heh

I've always had an on again off again relationship with nicotine, one which is currently off, and in general I dunna have a problem with "smoking areas." An' yeah, smoking is bad, but it doesn't even come close to the damage done by power plants and cars. And for those who say a car/electrical power is necessary, why?
Personally, I dunna care if we all get black lung, things are as they are. Bring on the industrial waste, the acid rain, and make sure to keep watering yer lawn cos we want to look good as we all waste our resources... Trust me, in the end it'll all sort out just fine...
I for one...

my only point was that the requirement that people not smoke in close public places is fair IMO.

As for not smoking in closed public places, I follow whatever society dictates... I do admit I thought it most amusing that when I was in Holland, the non-smoking areas were these little pariah-like areas, usually filled with Americans...
Although, honestly Influx, I don't feel right in a bar without it being properly smoky, whether or not I'm actually smoking...

I'm not arguing that this environmental polution arguement isn't valid. I just think it's a different thing entirely. Like saying people who take baths support the bathtub industry and more people hurt themselves in the tub than anywhere else, so bathtakers have no right to complain about people who bludgeon others with baseball bats.

whatever, I'd agree for the smell, not any potential damage - that's western hysteria, keep you buying more crap to flush down the rivers and streams then you're wingin about the welfare of your kids... it's bollox & we all know it and should just groiwup and admit it and fling this crappy psuedo sceientific cobblers about..
Look you can smoke in the bank or wherever in Spain, they are civilised people.. It's a cool place, people are relaxed... no-ones uptight.
and I too welcome our super-bacteria overlords

Much respect all around to everyone here, but just don't smoke in my face or around my kid... I don't personaly have an issue with 2nd hand smoke. I smoked for 10 years... Don't want to be all high and mighty, do as you please... just don't do it to those who would prefer you didn't!
BTW... I'm a big Fuggin hippie!!! I only drive when I leave town or have to take the kids a long way... I bike otherwise, or walk! I buy only organics and feed my children accordingly. The Organic cereal they eat is sweetened with fruit juisce, and the milk they drink is hormone free! The only hormones that get inot my family's food get there through cross pollination... unless I grow my own that's a fact of life, and I haven't the time or know how to do it! I DO still suck on the tit of corporate power but the dark ages are still a bit rough for this tender ass... however I am diligently (honest) working toward solar panels so that I can ween myself from that one as well!!! SEE, I'm a big FAT HIPPIE, that would like smokers to stop smoking around people who don't want to inhale smoke... "Is that so wrong" hehehehe
None of the above was intended to make myself feel special, BTW... it was in answer to the scathing indictment leveld at me for prefering good health to sickness...
