I finally quit after ten years of smoking (one month!), now to get my fiance to quit as well... it's gonna be tough.

Actually smokers are responsible for saving more lives than they hurt. They pump so much money into the NHS because of heavy tax on tobacco.

We would picket, but the chanting and sign waving is too much exercise and we start coughing too much then we need a cigarette.

Woo! Good job! I'm 5 days free after a year. And I want to kill everyone.
is it weird that 40 days in NOW I want to kill everyone. Hope you are still surviving!
day 5 was the worst so far, I'm sure I'll have a day when I need to hurt something soon though

I dont accept the premise that they have a good reason for being a dick to evefy smoker that walks in the door.
It doesn't seem that dickish to me...a bit high-handed, sure, but not horrible.

DawnLoves
It's a joke, it's funny. If I smoked I think I would chuckle at this.
Possibly, if you hadn't already seen similar jokes a thousand times.
faranae
You got some snarky replies but as someone who loves eating on patios with my little one, thank you for being considerate. Wish more were.
No problem, thanks for being kind :) I would especially never smoke near a child.
You are the best kind of smoker. ^_^ (Now if only the "vape" crowd would catch on to that too...)
Usually, younger people who have grown up with restrictions on where they could smoke accept these rules. People are paying to have a (1)
nice time, including one free of smoke. In my experience, though, older people who used to be allowed to smoke indoors almost everywhere (2)
Imo, if someone is outside smoking and I don't like it, I'll move a bit, no complaining. If I was there first, please also move a bit :)
Yup, absolutely I would.
Great! And that is how smokers and non-smokers can be civilised around each other :D
carewyllie
I don't see what there is to get offended about here. I can't imagine any smoker not laughing at that joke unless they're already bitchy.
I wouldn't say I'm offended, just calling the sign out as being needlessly passive aggressive. You get a little tired of the "jokes".
I really don't, though. Granted, I quit smoking last year, but even before that. Same thing for my friends who smoke.
Well, that's good. I do, thus my comment.
*shrugs* If you can't laugh at yourself, what can you laugh at? lol
xmsbeanx
This. I think the majority of smokers are more than happy to comply by the rules so why be a dick about it?
TheGammaRae
Right? It's like they are taking the stance that smokers will be bitchy about it before they have a chance to shrug and not care.
Exactly. Honestly, it wouldn't even occur to me to smoke right next to someone eating, no need to assume I'm an asshole.
I've found most smokers to be respectful people who ask if I mind if they smoke even when I'm standing outside.
BlaiseWorks
What state do you live in? 0.0 everyone in georgia is like "fuck off, I'll smoke where I damned please"
Damn, really? Up in Washington anyone who tried to pull that would be thrown the fuck out, even other smokers would help.

Smoking and being an asshole have an extremely strong correlation.
To the haters- smoking is one of the stupidest things you can possibly do. It harms your family, too. Lost my mom to lung cancer.
AceTrainerPuppet
So is drinking but that's socially acceptable. Get some business and let us destroy our bodies if we want to.

DarthSuraTheSavage
so do being self righteous and asshole
MarkHopper
I've never known a smoker who wasn't polite about smoking, yet so, so many non-smokers act like self-righteous assholes about it.
Do you consider smoking in public polite?
TheSadCafe
Lots of people in my state will blow smoke right in your face at sporting events, in lines; anywhere you can't move away.
And that's perfectly sensible! Whenever I'm smoking around anyone I always ask first and move around so the wind doesn't blow smoke at you.
melveys
I'd say about 85% of smokers I've known are polite. 14% are oblivious or ignorant and 1% are defiant or rude.
Oh yeah, you'll always get rude people but the far majority of us will be understanding.
anomaly23
I've known few smokers who didn't get pissy about having to adjust their behavior, even a little, to accommodate others. Non-smokers who...
...act like assholes are likely the ones who have had to ask, repeatedly, for just a little bit of airspace to avoid asthma attacks.
Furthermore, those with respiratory conditions have to keep interactions with smokers short so that they don't have a severe attack or die.
So if we're being short with you, it's likely that we're just trying to not die in the process.
ThisIsTheEighthUsernameIveTried
The worst part of being a smoker isn't the lung cancer, it's dealing with preachy assholes. You are to me what vegans are to meat eaters.
As long as you don't blow it in my face and if you don't ask my opinion about it, do whatver you want :) Though, it's tough to see 1/
Except meat doesnt do harm to you like smoke does. Also vegetarians are not affected by meat eaters like nonsmokers are to smokers.
2: for the disregard that a select few completely and utterly rude smokers show for others is kinda patronizing and mean.
I don't smoke near non-smokers, and exactly how much damage depends on how much of both we're talking about.
And them being "preachy" kind of makes me feel like they care more about your life than you do. Idc just dont blow it in my face and
Take me down with you.
The point is that most all smokers know this, and are generally polite about their addiction and when/where they sate it. Browbeating them
2/ your friends smoking when family members died of lung cancer even when they tried to stop for over a year. Don't want you to have that.
I actually haven't smoked in about 6 months because I'm currently living with my parents and they're both ex-smokers, so I decided it (1)
(2) wouldn't be polite to smoke while I'm staying here.
That is a very considerative thing to do!
But smoking is something I enjoy, and will continue when I move away. I won't smoke forever, just until I'm 25-30 then stop.
I really hope you stay healthy, but as long as you're happy, why not, right? :)

Next step: Ban women having a much too strong perfume on when going out for dinner, or even wine tasting. I call it air battle.
That would be great! Men and their cologne/aftershave too!
TheFeralDog
Very much yes, I am allergic as hell to perfume and I hate those that seem to bathe in it.
TheCastawayCosmic
As a non - smoker, I find it funny to watch my fellow man shiver in negative five degree weather because they can't smoke indoors.
Well, they don't actually have to smoke. It is their choice, after all.
pandorafalters
As a smoker, I smoke outside even when I have the option of smoking inside. It probably sounds weird, but I like the fresh air....
Which is kinda funny, seeing as how you're enjoying the fresh air to inhale tainted air.
In 15 minutes I normally take several hundred breaths. A cigarette takes ~30 drags to finish. That's _much_ more fresh air than "tainted".
Pieala
Yeah, I enjoy watching people be uncomfortable, also.

I'm from CA and I was shocked when I went to Vegas. I have no idea how people can survive like that.

Same. I'm in a HOA battle with my downstairs neighbor over her pack a day smoking habits that are actually affecting my health.
I'm having the same struggle with mine. It comes in through the bathroom floor and makes its way throughout my entire apartment.
I can't imagine not being able to breathe in your own house... Good luck on your battle ^^
DerAva
Having a no-smoking area in a restaurant is like having a no-peeing area in a swimming pool.
dragonflyft
That's why the only practical solution is to make the whole place non-smoking/-peeing.
ItchyUnicorn
I know people who see that as smoker's rights coming second to non-smokers. They want to smoke while they eat like others want the opposite
Not taking a side here either. I like smoking places because it always has empty seats instead of waiting forever for non-smoking.
As a smoker, I'd be fine with smoking/non-smoking sections on bar and restaurant outdoor spaces, like they used to do indoors.
TF2215
Nonsmoking sections don't always keep the scent of cigarettes out
No, but they might do better than allowing smoking on the entire terrace.
I honestly think restaurants should be allowed to have smoking if they wish. Let the patrons decide where they want to eat.
NeverEndingStoryMachine
It makes me sad when a comment this logical and in support of freedoms and choice is downvoted.
It doesn't work like that. There's no invisible barrier to keep your poor choices from entering my fucked up lungs.
In comparison to a terrace where smoking is allowed all over, one where it's only allowed on one side would be better, no?
And seriously, do you have to be mean? I'm sorry I made a stupid decision when I was 14 which sort of stuck, and I can't seem to get rid of.
I'm mean because your stupid decision has landed me in the emergency room.
Mine specifically? Well shit, I'm sorry. I pretty much only smoke at home or designated smoking areas, so I don't know how that happened.
ripvancrinkle
For me, smokers anger me bc I have severe asthma and second hand smoke sends me into an asthma attack. It's like their assaulting my lungs
1/2 Exactly. I don't think smokers would like if I punched them in the chest a few times and made them breathe through a straw
2/2 for the next hour (and a slightly larger straw for the rest of the day) so I don't understand why they think they can do that to us.
AeroEngineer
And that's the problem... smokers actually think you can just have separate areas, and suddenly their smoke doesn't travel through the air
Alright, but if you're going to allow smoking on a terrace, wouldn't you prefer it not right next to you?
I'd prefer it to not be allowed at all. The smoker doesn't have to be RIGHT next to me to fuck with my asthma.
I'm cool with that too, I'll not smoke or go to a different bar. But lots of restaurants DO allow it, so why not sections?
One way to _help_ the issue is to specify a minimum pressure differential between the areas, and that access to non-smokers' should ~
Or the government could simply make it illegal for companies to sell a product that poisons people and its only use is to get them addicted.
As with other drugs? To be sure, they're moving the other way. Methinks it should be "do what you want, but don't _bother_ anyone else".
be smoke-free. Madrid did this in 2010. Not sure how well it works.
yadingus
I'll be THAT person: I wish more restaurants had this as a rule. I'd like to dine outside without inhaling smoke with my meal.
go marry a tree faget
LOL I'll get on that
wallachia
Then pick a restaurant that's nonsmoking; restaurants should be allowed to choose what activities they allow in their establishment.
It's one thing if you're just outside, I just don't think it's very fair as a paying customer to have smoke blowing on you and your food.
If you enter a restaurant that allows smoking, you are paying to eat at a restaurant where you might get smoke blown at you, Go elsewhere
In that same light, how hard is it to wait to smoke somewhere else where people aren't eating right next to you?

As someone living in an area where smoking is now banned indoors and on patios, I couldn't be happier with the decision.
"Be careful California! You're supposed to be the crazy state!"
There are like 30 states where it is banned indoor public places now.
In Cali it is child endangerment to smoke in a car with a minor in it, windows down or up it is highly illegal.
I live in Ontario, Canada. They just recently passed a law making it illegal to smoke on patios. We have been smoke free indoors for years.

In my state, smoking is banned anywhere food is being served, including bars
In Slovakia it´s not and even restaurants have smoker sections, which seems stupid to me. Smoke does not obey a "no smoking" sign.
We used to have smoking and non smoking sections until about 8 or 9 years ago when it was banned outright, for that very reason
xkr73
Depends on how Restaurant owner decides to regulate it... Aircon and doors will work wonders to limit(if not remove) second hand smoke.
Usually there are no doors or screens and the air conditioning is lacking. On the rare occasion that I eat out, I go to a non-smoking place.

Hi, my parents have been indoor smokers all my life, in the car too. Fucking HATE inconsiderate smokers. Peeve trigger so hard.
DidItForScience
Wow, I don't know anyone that smokes cigarettes inside their house anymore. I thought people stopped doing that in the 90s!
Mum and I both smoke at home, but only in the kitchen, which we air out even in winter. And no smoking after 22:00. Seems logical to me.
uhhhh smoking in the kitchen is the worst. Thought of it makes my skin crawl. Foods is prepared there!

My soon to be MIL smokes at the kitchen table after she's finished eating, even if no one else is done. I never even thought about it. 1/2
But they have two kid, both of which are asthmatics, who were forced to breathe that. They didnt choose to smoke but theyre suffering for it
Skreechie
My grandparents smoke like chimneys inside even when my lil bro who's seven visits from across the country. They say the same thing as you.
He gets ill from it and can't visit them anymore, and he hasn't mentioned them in over a year bc of it.
This is the problem I have. My bf and I are both asthmatics and he was forced to inhale that for nearly 20 years. He had no other choice.
yagamiisgod
Courtesy for guests is a personal choice, one they don't seem to give fuck all about. Some smokers are just inconsiderate asshats
AlbusDumbledoresBeard
Just an argument of one person's comfort over another, and in this case why would you impose on their home?
Kerryblue
I don't buy the comfort argument. It's detrimental to your health, and makes people sick.
It's pretty rude to go to someone else's house and tell them what to do too, though.
I don't demand anything, hence it being a simple courtesy.
HogwartsAlumnus
Ugh, my dad's wife does this. It's nasty as fuck. She also gets offended that I don't want my kids there. Go figure...
This attitude confuses me so much, its HER HOME
Yeah, but grandma is mad because mom won't bring the kids. I wouldn't bring my kids either.
I've already told my bf that I won't take any of our future kids over their. We are both asthmatics and likely to have kids with asthma.
Seems like you're being fair enough to me.
She has the right to do as she pleases in her own home. You have the right to keep your kids away from her home if you don't like it.
I'm not saying she doesn't, but it is 'nasty as fuck' in my opinion, too. Which I also have a right to have.
Yes, you do! It's legal, but that doesn't mean you have to like it or be around it. Just don't try to dictate to someone in their own home.
She has the right to do as she likes, but not to be offended when she can't see her grandkids because of her own behavior.
ohsillyus
I'm pretty sure she has the right to be offended just saying.
I completely agree!
pmaguire13
If you don't mind can you also not smoke near hospitals or bus stops either? I have asthma so I hate people who do that, I need fresh air.
Smoking area: Mum was in a hospital over 15 months ago, nearly died and I was a wreck. I was happy to find a place to wait and smoke.
Yeah I don't mind if you smoke in a smoking area. Its when you are smoking in front of the entrances that annoy me.
Smoking at bus stations is against the law. Don´t know about hospitals, but I don´t smoke at either unless the hospital has a smoking area.

Possibly, if you hadn't already seen similar jokes a thousand times.

Yup, absolutely I would.
MusculusSternocleidomastoideus
Great! And that is how smokers and non-smokers can be civilised around each other :D
carewyllie
I don't see what there is to get offended about here. I can't imagine any smoker not laughing at that joke unless they're already bitchy.
Psychethos
I wouldn't say I'm offended, just calling the sign out as being needlessly passive aggressive. You get a little tired of the "jokes".
carewyllie
I really don't, though. Granted, I quit smoking last year, but even before that. Same thing for my friends who smoke.
Psychethos
Well, that's good. I do, thus my comment.
carewyllie
*shrugs* If you can't laugh at yourself, what can you laugh at? lol
xmsbeanx
This. I think the majority of smokers are more than happy to comply by the rules so why be a dick about it?
TheGammaRae
Right? It's like they are taking the stance that smokers will be bitchy about it before they have a chance to shrug and not care.
Psychethos
Exactly. Honestly, it wouldn't even occur to me to smoke right next to someone eating, no need to assume I'm an asshole.
TheGammaRae
I've found most smokers to be respectful people who ask if I mind if they smoke even when I'm standing outside.

MarkHopper
I've never known a smoker who wasn't polite about smoking, yet so, so many non-smokers act like self-righteous assholes about it.
nohasslecastle
Do you consider smoking in public polite?
TheSadCafe
Lots of people in my state will blow smoke right in your face at sporting events, in lines; anywhere you can't move away.
MusculusSternocleidomastoideus
Imo, if someone is outside smoking and I don't like it, I'll move a bit, no complaining. If I was there first, please also move a bit :)
MarkHopper
And that's perfectly sensible! Whenever I'm smoking around anyone I always ask first and move around so the wind doesn't blow smoke at you.
melveys
I'd say about 85% of smokers I've known are polite. 14% are oblivious or ignorant and 1% are defiant or rude.
MarkHopper
Oh yeah, you'll always get rude people but the far majority of us will be understanding.
anomaly23
I've known few smokers who didn't get pissy about having to adjust their behavior, even a little, to accommodate others. Non-smokers who...
anomaly23
...act like assholes are likely the ones who have had to ask, repeatedly, for just a little bit of airspace to avoid asthma attacks.
anomaly23
Furthermore, those with respiratory conditions have to keep interactions with smokers short so that they don't have a severe attack or die.
anomaly23
So if we're being short with you, it's likely that we're just trying to not die in the process.
ThisIsTheEighthUsernameIveTried
The worst part of being a smoker isn't the lung cancer, it's dealing with preachy assholes. You are to me what vegans are to meat eaters.

Except meat doesnt do harm to you like smoke does. Also vegetarians are not affected by meat eaters like nonsmokers are to smokers.

I don't smoke near non-smokers, and exactly how much damage depends on how much of both we're talking about.

And them being "preachy" kind of makes me feel like they care more about your life than you do. Idc just dont blow it in my face and

The point is that most all smokers know this, and are generally polite about their addiction and when/where they sate it. Browbeating them
MusculusSternocleidomastoideus
2/ your friends smoking when family members died of lung cancer even when they tried to stop for over a year. Don't want you to have that.
ThisIsTheEighthUsernameIveTried
I actually haven't smoked in about 6 months because I'm currently living with my parents and they're both ex-smokers, so I decided it (1)
ThisIsTheEighthUsernameIveTried
(2) wouldn't be polite to smoke while I'm staying here.
MusculusSternocleidomastoideus
That is a very considerative thing to do!
ThisIsTheEighthUsernameIveTried
But smoking is something I enjoy, and will continue when I move away. I won't smoke forever, just until I'm 25-30 then stop.
MusculusSternocleidomastoideus
I really hope you stay healthy, but as long as you're happy, why not, right? :)

As a smoker, I smoke outside even when I have the option of smoking inside. It probably sounds weird, but I like the fresh air....

Which is kinda funny, seeing as how you're enjoying the fresh air to inhale tainted air.

In 15 minutes I normally take several hundred breaths. A cigarette takes ~30 drags to finish. That's _much_ more fresh air than "tainted".

Having a no-smoking area in a restaurant is like having a no-peeing area in a swimming pool.
dragonflyft
That's why the only practical solution is to make the whole place non-smoking/-peeing.
ItchyUnicorn
I know people who see that as smoker's rights coming second to non-smokers. They want to smoke while they eat like others want the opposite
ItchyUnicorn
Not taking a side here either. I like smoking places because it always has empty seats instead of waiting forever for non-smoking.
Psychethos
As a smoker, I'd be fine with smoking/non-smoking sections on bar and restaurant outdoor spaces, like they used to do indoors.
TF2215
Nonsmoking sections don't always keep the scent of cigarettes out
Psychethos
No, but they might do better than allowing smoking on the entire terrace.
TF2215
I honestly think restaurants should be allowed to have smoking if they wish. Let the patrons decide where they want to eat.
NeverEndingStoryMachine
It makes me sad when a comment this logical and in support of freedoms and choice is downvoted.
jyetie
It doesn't work like that. There's no invisible barrier to keep your poor choices from entering my fucked up lungs.

In comparison to a terrace where smoking is allowed all over, one where it's only allowed on one side would be better, no?
Psychethos
And seriously, do you have to be mean? I'm sorry I made a stupid decision when I was 14 which sort of stuck, and I can't seem to get rid of.
jyetie
I'm mean because your stupid decision has landed me in the emergency room.
Psychethos
Mine specifically? Well shit, I'm sorry. I pretty much only smoke at home or designated smoking areas, so I don't know how that happened.
ripvancrinkle
For me, smokers anger me bc I have severe asthma and second hand smoke sends me into an asthma attack. It's like their assaulting my lungs
jyetie
1/2 Exactly. I don't think smokers would like if I punched them in the chest a few times and made them breathe through a straw
jyetie
2/2 for the next hour (and a slightly larger straw for the rest of the day) so I don't understand why they think they can do that to us.
AeroEngineer
And that's the problem... smokers actually think you can just have separate areas, and suddenly their smoke doesn't travel through the air
Psychethos
Alright, but if you're going to allow smoking on a terrace, wouldn't you prefer it not right next to you?
AeroEngineer
I'd prefer it to not be allowed at all. The smoker doesn't have to be RIGHT next to me to fuck with my asthma.
Psychethos
I'm cool with that too, I'll not smoke or go to a different bar. But lots of restaurants DO allow it, so why not sections?
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
One way to _help_ the issue is to specify a minimum pressure differential between the areas, and that access to non-smokers' should ~
AeroEngineer
Or the government could simply make it illegal for companies to sell a product that poisons people and its only use is to get them addicted.

As with other drugs? To be sure, they're moving the other way. Methinks it should be "do what you want, but don't _bother_ anyone else".

edissick

yadingus

wallachia
Then pick a restaurant that's nonsmoking; restaurants should be allowed to choose what activities they allow in their establishment.
yadingus
It's one thing if you're just outside, I just don't think it's very fair as a paying customer to have smoke blowing on you and your food.
wallachia
If you enter a restaurant that allows smoking, you are paying to eat at a restaurant where you might get smoke blown at you, Go elsewhere
yadingus
In that same light, how hard is it to wait to smoke somewhere else where people aren't eating right next to you?

In Slovakia it´s not and even restaurants have smoker sections, which seems stupid to me. Smoke does not obey a "no smoking" sign.

We used to have smoking and non smoking sections until about 8 or 9 years ago when it was banned outright, for that very reason

Depends on how Restaurant owner decides to regulate it... Aircon and doors will work wonders to limit(if not remove) second hand smoke.

Just an argument of one person's comfort over another, and in this case why would you impose on their home?
Kerryblue
I don't buy the comfort argument. It's detrimental to your health, and makes people sick.

It's pretty rude to go to someone else's house and tell them what to do too, though.
yagamiisgod
I don't demand anything, hence it being a simple courtesy.
HogwartsAlumnus
Ugh, my dad's wife does this. It's nasty as fuck. She also gets offended that I don't want my kids there. Go figure...
AlbusDumbledoresBeard
This attitude confuses me so much, its HER HOME
doublekross
Yeah, but grandma is mad because mom won't bring the kids. I wouldn't bring my kids either.
ScrumdiddlyumptiousBar
I've already told my bf that I won't take any of our future kids over their. We are both asthmatics and likely to have kids with asthma.
Melanisia
Seems like you're being fair enough to me.
Melanisia
She has the right to do as she pleases in her own home. You have the right to keep your kids away from her home if you don't like it.
HogwartsAlumnus
I'm not saying she doesn't, but it is 'nasty as fuck' in my opinion, too. Which I also have a right to have.
Melanisia
Yes, you do! It's legal, but that doesn't mean you have to like it or be around it. Just don't try to dictate to someone in their own home.
doublekross
She has the right to do as she likes, but not to be offended when she can't see her grandkids because of her own behavior.
ohsillyus
I'm pretty sure she has the right to be offended just saying.
Melanisia
I completely agree!

If you don't mind can you also not smoke near hospitals or bus stops either? I have asthma so I hate people who do that, I need fresh air.

Smoking area: Mum was in a hospital over 15 months ago, nearly died and I was a wreck. I was happy to find a place to wait and smoke.
pmaguire13
Yeah I don't mind if you smoke in a smoking area. Its when you are smoking in front of the entrances that annoy me.
ExodusDei
Smoking at bus stations is against the law. Don´t know about hospitals, but I don´t smoke at either unless the hospital has a smoking area.

Last time i went to Czech i saw something disgusting, a guy inhaling into his mouth, and putting food in his mouth... Are you that kind>
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
or smoker?
ExodusDei
No. I am Slovak and I cannot even drink and smoke at the same time. But I saw that happen here as well.
