[SunMo]

i know, because bartenders have such specific skills, they can only do that job...how would they make a living otherwise

[rjs246]

Yes! SunMo chimes in!

Just FYI, per usual when this thread gets bumped, I went out and bought a pack of smokes yesterday. Up until November I had gone 4+ months without a cigarette and then only had one or two a week until yesterday. Now it is farging ON.

from the way you stand on this issue i would have never guessed you were EVER a smoker

[Diomedes]

because only smokers or former smokers could possibly disagree with the ban.

kinda like only non smokers could ever support it.

it's a nice clean cut world for vigy, all black and white

[ice grillin you]

im sure theres some never smokers who really are against it the law....but 99% of the individual rights people could care less about individual rights...its just a cover to say i should be able to give cancer to anyone anywhere i want

its just not that important of an issue to rail against unless you are or have been a smoker

[rjs246]

99% of the individual rights people could care less about individual rights...

This clearly doesn't describe me, but I actually agree with you. Most people stand up for individual freedoms only when they are feeling personally inconvenienced in some way. People enjoy the convenience of their 9 to 5 lives too much to be bothered with what they believe in.

I, on the other hand, drive the ladyfriend and all of you nuts with my soapboxing. I'm getting shtein done in this world I tell ya.

There is no other industry where a person has to accept unmitigated health risk or find another job.

And the dangers of second-hand smoke are well documented, and really not disputed by anyone by Philip Morris.

Really, it's just lucky for smokers that the EPA took a pass during the Clinton administration.  They were considering declaring cigarette smoke an environmental hazard, by all accounts.

[Diomedes]

The world is an environmental hazard.  Jesus Christ what a bunch of nancy bitches people are.

Examples?  BTW, the key word is "unmitigated".  Go look that up before you start talking out your ass again.

Your inability to use the quote functionality aside, every type of mining is far more dangerous health-wise, construction in many of its forms is dangerous, police officers, fire fighters, armed forces personnel... the list goes on and on and on of jobs that are more dangerous to one's health and well-being than bartender.
