Smoking in Bars/Public Places? Yea or Nay?

This is the first time I have heard of cigarettes being referred to as "darts" and honestly, it's ****ing hilarious

I find it weird when people call them ***s. Here it's darts or smokes.

I can't believe you can still smoke in bars in the US... Or whatever country. That would make my job a whole lot shi ttier.

Can you smoke in the bar or only in the beer garden?

The laws vary from state to state. In some states you can smoke in bars, in most you can't, and the exact details of the bans also vary from state to state.

And of course, depending on what bar you go into, they may not even pay attention to the ban. Whenever I go into a bar and see an ashtray on the counter, I shed a tear.

I don't think I could ever work in a bar where you could smoke inside. Especially if it were prone to drunktards.

As a reformed smoker, I would ban smoking in the middle of the Kalahari desert.

Funnily enough, banning smoking indoors is the only reason I've ever smoked.

If you're at a club and everyone/most people I'm with smoke then I'll follow them outside. Then I can either
a) Look on disapprovingly
b) Have a ciggarette with them

In fact, smoke breaks are a great excuse if you don't want to dance/stand in a corner. Plus asking for/lighting a cigarette is a great icebreaker. But I've never had one outside those particular situations, and I say I don't smoke if they ask in normal situations.

Not that I disagree with the ban. Just saying how it does encourage me to smoke every now and then on a night out.

Edit: Just realised my avatar has a cigarette.....I was just looking for a skeptical looking face on google I swear!
