Smoking ban in Philadelphia approved

[Munson]

Those are all general services that people go to the bar for. They don't go to the bar to breathe in smoke and get some cancer. If a person goes to a bar/club on karaoke night, they're obviously there because they want to point and laugh at the drunk idiots singing. They go to a bar to drink some beer and eat some pretzels. They're not there because they want to breathe in smoke.

I'll say it again. Smoking effects everyone around you and everyone in the room, generally. If it's that important for you to tar your lungs up, you can walk 10 steps, go out hte door, and light up all you want. You're not bothering or effecting anyone out there.


Now, perhaps there should be some sort of ammendment to this law where some places can be smokers places and some places can be non-smokers. But until (if) that happens, you can't smoke inside, and the world (or, at least Philly) is a better, healthier place for it. You can no longer give your cancer off to anyone else. Oh woe is all the smokers.

Is Munson even of legal drinking age yet?  If so, for how long?

One really can't speak informedly about this issue unless they've been to many, many bars under many, many circumstances.

Whats it matter, the fact is 1 in 6 of us on the board will get cancer anyway
^{I really have no idea how many of you will get it, but im first}

Well I'm using the bar as an example, but a restaurant is just as good of one. People go to a restaurant to eat and be with friends/family/whoever...not get cancer.

I do work at Stanley's though, so I'm in the bar quite a lot. Not that it matters, Delaware's had this smoking indoors ban going since laast may.

now people can go spend money getting fat and lazy and not have to worry about anyone blowing smoke on their triple bacon cheeseburger.

Munson, Delaware has had the no smoking thing since november 2004

like my grandfather says...you always see 90+ year olds  smoking. you never see 90+ year olds that are 100lbs overweight.

smokers live longer than fatties.

my granfather used to say that he smoked so he could coat his longs with tar that would keep all the diseases out.....then he died of lung cancer


he also used to say the worst part of having sex with a six year old is getting the blood out of the clown suit

Dear Samantha:

This message is to advise you that the newly enacted City Ordinance prohibiting smoking in Philadelphia public places and workplaces, including sports facilities, will go into effect at Lincoln Financial Field starting with the Eagles vs. Packers game on Monday, October 2, 2006.

By terms of the ordinance, SMOKING IS PROHIBITED IN ALL AREAS of the stadium. Smoking is permitted only in designated areas outside the stadium. The designated areas are: the HeadHouse Plaza, outside the West Gate across from Section 101, outside the south side of the stadium across from Section 110, and outside each Club and Suite entrance (Club and Suite guests only). Fans who wish to smoke during the course of the game will be directed to those areas.

Violators of the smoking policy are subject to citation (up to $300) and will be in violation of the Code of Conduct which may result in ejection from the stadium and potential revocation of tickets.

We appreciate your cooperation in our effort to abide by the newly enacted smoking ban.

Sincerely,
