Smoking ban in Philadelphia approved

[Munson]

Munson, forget the smoking stuff... Just tell us you didn't miss an opportunity to bone this broad, so we know you're not gay.

Pretty much every weekend.

And I made her stop smoking the occassional cig the way she did before we started dating.

Smoking=teh gay.

[Munson]

hopefully one day it will be illegal to smoke at all....there would be nothing better than to see all the tobacco companies go bankrupt in my lifetime..they are some of the most despicable people on the planet

Probably not more despicable than the people who would take over the industry if it were made illegal: international drug cartels, terrorists, and gangs. The tobacco companies are selling a product that kills people; in your world, the product would still be killing people, only now the people selling it would be killing plenty of other people directly as well.

Which is part of the reason why it will never be banned completely, and part of the reason why the alcohol ban never worked. As much as I would love to see tobocco wiped off the face of the earth, I know it would be a zesty situation if they made it illegal.

But we all know that the government and politicians make way too much money off of cigs and Big Tobacco to ever ban it anyway.
Sell cancer to the people to make money. Gotta love it.

That's my cancer you're talking about there and I have every right to bring myself that much closer to getting it without having to walk outside. 

[Munson]

True, but you don't ahve every right to impose your cancer on those around you in a confined area.

[Sgt PSN]

Then maybe you should walk outside.  Make sure you take a deep breath everytime a semi or bus rolls by.

And I made her stop smoking the occassional cig the way she did before we started dating.

Women only need cigarettes when they don't have pole.  That is incredibly accurate.

The guy on the barstool drinking a beer and watching the game isn't effecting anybody but himself.

The guy on the barstool drinking a beer and watching the game and smokign a cigarette is effecing himself, the two people next to him, and pretty much anyone in the immediate area/room.

Right, the guy effecting no one else should go outside.

[General_Failure]

None of you live there. You walk outside if he's bothering you. Or cry to the bartender, who gave him an ashtray.

[Munson]

So everyone in the bar not smoking should walk outside so the guy who is smoking can enjoy his drag?


No. His smoking is effecting everyone in the room. If he wants his tar that bad, he can go outside and do it.

[General_Failure]

Does he have an ashtray? If he's got one, the owner is fine with him smoking. Anyone bothered by it should go outside.

[ice grillin you]

the owner and the guy with the cigarette can both burn in hell

[Munson]

It was banned inside for a purpose. It effects and is hamrful to everyone around the person smoking. IF the person wants to do harm to himself, fine. Doesn't mean everyone in the room should have to deal with it. And now they won't. 

[General_Failure]

It was banned because too many farging people want to whine about it instead of not going places where people smoke. Or, leaving when people do smoke. You act like you don't have a choice in this hypothetical. I wasn't aware that you were handcuffed to the bar.

[Munson]

Why should a person who doesn't smoke have to be subjected to it when they go out to the bar? That's the point. They shouldn't.

It's not like smokers are being "subjected" to the clean air of the bar when they go out.

[General_Failure]

Let's ban jukeboxes, karaoke, and alcohol too. I shouldn't be subjected to those when I go into a bar. And god help them if there's a bowl of pretzels!
