Their going to ban smoking here to. Finally no more stench after going out! We've had a discussion thread on this one before, you can probably find some interesting stuff in there.

I think everyone here already knows my thoughts on the smoking ban, and if anyone disagrees, I'll be happy to make you look like a fucking idiot. Oh, I'm not being arrogant, it's just that easy to win arguments against you ignorant, self-righteous cunts.

could you **** off, please? I haven't commented on this argument because I am neither here nor there on it, I don't mind the smell of it that much, and it's your choice. As long as you aren't smoking around infants or anything, whatever.

But come on, cut the bull**** with your whole pollution argument. Are you honestly telling us that we go outside and smell pollution? I sure as hell don't. And our society depends on factories, and cars - not cigarettes. You can ban a useless, poor habit, you can't ban transportation.

You don't smell pollution because you live in B.C. One of the cleanest places I have ever been to.
Try London on a hot day - you can smell it then.

Are you telling me you go outside and all you can smell is cigarettes? Maybe you should cut the bullshit. I used to live in downtown Toronto and even then, I could step outside and not smell fuck all.

You're missing the point. My point is that people need to stop acting as if cigarette smokers are some fucking abominable demons sent from hell atop black stallions to befoul everyone's poor, innocent lungs against their will. Everyone contributes to and is affected by air pollution, everyone consumes carcinogenic food products, everyone is exposed to radon gas and UV rays, and so on. Would be nice if people stopped pointing fingers and finally came to realize that we're all just as bad as each other, and we're all at risk of developing god knows what health problems. Shit happens. Why's there always have to be a scapegoat? Oh, crime rates are going up, must be the niggers. Oh, cancer killed more people this year than last year, must be the smokers. Fuck off, like.

The smoking ban is a great thing. I used to smoke - i gave it up since. I still go out from the club to the smoking areas and have the banter out there - another aspect of the night! You can actually have a conversation, then come back in and get pissed and go for a dance

Staggering argument, but I think I'm still opposed.

Urban Hat€monger ?

Not of smoke no

But expect everywhere to stink of stale sweat & vomit.

I was against a smoking ban even before I was a smoker. I think it should be up to the owners of said buildings and business places whether or not smoking should be allowed. Now, I can understand places where minors may be present, but bars and the like?

.....I mean, what if you go to some night club or something at a metal show, and all there is is just typical hardcore acts and then 2 good bands? YOU NEED THE SMOKE TO HOLD YA OVER, because that kind of **** is too much to tolerate. At least for me it is.
