[HEADSHOT]

forgive me for not being so up on the times....


what exactly is the new law?

[FUK JDM]

i dont smoke...but its gay...

thoughts

If you dont smoke then why is it gay? Im just curious to know.

Im happy with that finally going down.

[*inFamous*]

no smoking in bars is that what it was? something like that... or restaruarnts i forgot

[Type - O]

bars, i still get asked for smoking or non at restaruants

"The State passed a fairly comprehensive ban on smoking in public places, to take effect May 2007"

[SiR Mikey]

Bueno

If you dont smoke then why is it gay?

i have freinds that smoke at work, now if we take a break together, we have to stand 20ft from the door to talk, which puts us somewhere in the middle of the parking lot.

i am also required to ask people to move futher from the door because they fall within the 20ft buffer zone of the door...

when i go to a pool hall i expect there to be smoke, it is part of the atmoshpere...kind of a dark, depressing place, now its totally clear, and too clean...

this is arizona (one of the most conservative states), i can carry my gun on my side, in my car, into a restaurant, but i cannot smoke within 20ft of a doorway...

i voted against this measure just on its absurd nature, i do understand the dangers of second hand smoke, but people that work in industries where there is smoke i.e. casinos, restaurants, bars, make good money, and it is part of the job...

anyway...might be a bad argument on my part, but tobacco built america, now were going to turn our backs on it...

[rushbuster70]

i voted no for this even though i dont smoke.but it doesnt effect me because i'm never by anyone who does anyway but i did work at a bar/restaurant and people would drink beer & smoke at the bar which they can't anymore.they have to smoke outside...and for regular business's they have to be 20 feet from the entrance.

[whiteman]

smokers can SUCK IT! jk but im glad they did this.

[JustinD]

it should not be part of your job to subject yourself to cancer causing substances. i could understand maybe if you work with chemicals as a part of your job or something, but just because you work in a public, customer service enviornment job shouldnt mean you have to deal with that shit.


anyway...might be a bad argument on my part, but tobacco built america, now were going to turn our backs on it...

that may be PARTIALLY true .... but

1. people smoked or chewed STRAIGHT tobacco back in the day, not Tar and all the 8483 other chemicals they put in modern day tobacco products.

2. doctors and people did not know the harmful effects of smoking/chewing tobacco back then, nor did they know how bad it was going to get when all the bullshit go added in to make cigarettes "better"

[JDMitation]

:blunt: blunts 20 feet from the building please :doobie:

i am not a regular ciggie smoker, but i agree with what was said by teemfedx, tobacco smoke contributes the the atmosphere of many bars, restaurants, pool halls, etc.

If you don't like being around cigarette smoke, why don't you go to church on friday nights and pray for your lungs instead of going to a goddamn bar and complaining. fuckin pansys. mankind has puffed smoke since the dawn of time and all of a sudden it's sooo dangerous we can't stand it. go home if it bothers you.

[Guerillah]

I'm all for it, thank god it passed. Why anybody even starts smoking in the 1st place in there life is beyond me.

Saying go home if you dont like smoke.... well I say the same thing to you, go home if you dont like the fact that you cant smoke in a public place.

[Peteex]

Smoking is a choice people make, just like the law was a choice people made, It didn't effect me enough to care so I didn't vote.

It reminds me of this girl we used to hang out with, she was the only person out of a group of 8-10 people who smoked, she would BITCH and MOAN everytime we went to a restaurant because we always sat in the non-smoking section. Even though 80% of the group made it clear they didn't want to sit in the smoking section she would drone on endlessly how unfair it was that we weren't allowing her to light up whenever she felt like it. Then she tried to play the pity card on us by saying:" If I have to leave the table to smoke, I don't get to be with my freinds..." Well booh fucking hooo, have some self control and wait till dinner's done to go suck on your cancer stick.

It's going to hurt small buisness owners, I can see that already, but IMO they should have put up more of fight or have been better organized themselves if they wanted to seriously oppose it.

[Evil Empire]

I'm all for it, thank god it passed.

As for the pool hall thing, I'm glad...hate fucking leaving and smelling like that shit all night.

If you miss the smokey atmosphere, bring a fog machine.

[ILIKETODRIVE]

Smoking is lame. If you want to fill your lungs with lameness Lamey McLamer, go ahead but don't do it by me or I'll sock you in the face...FACE!

[*inFamous*]

smoking sux :( booo on the death sticks!!!

[Evil Empire]

It's funny how smoking was considered cool and sexy in older hollywood (hell, from the beginning to the 90s even).

It's fuckin' disgusting to see a girl smoke. Huge turn-off...now smoking a pole is a different story.

[Owens]

True, but thats how I control my women. :(

[Evil Empire]

True, but thats how I control my women. :(

By going out with hopeless nicotine addicts and then tempting them with a pack in exchange for intercourse?

[JDMitation]

i was at a party one time and a SUPER drunk girl (kinda fat/ugly) kept bugging me for a cig and i kept saying no because i only had 3 left so then she says well what do u want?

and i was like, nothing, i want to smoke my own last 3 cigs i dont even know you.

so shes like, i really need a cig what do u want?

and im like, uhhh nothing go away

so then randomly she's like, ill give you a blowjob for a cigarette

and i was like, uhhhh WTF?

then her friends pulled her away because she was actin a fool big time

[RhdRicheeee]

[Owens]

with a 3" stick?

Thats After I watch some porno.

[EK|B]

It kind of sucks for the businesses like strip clubs b/c a lot of their customers are smokers.

[JDMitation]

they are going to make some private clubs that you have to pay membership to and that will allow them to exploit a loophole in the law so u can smoke inside.

so soon smokers clubs will start popping up all over the valley.

[bmxican]

you can still rent hotels/motels that are smoker friendly. lol!!! That shit must stank like unwashed 'gina!!

[Importech Performance]

I love this law!

YAY!

[BADCHKN]

:clapper:

[EK|B]

It's a good way to get people to quit, shit kills like a mofo.

[fivesfe]

i wonder if its giogn to be really inforced. they are making everyone at my work smoke 20 feet away, but they have been trying to get them smoke away from/around back of the building for ever now, they always go right back infront of the door.


i dont smoke, but stupid law if you ask me

Stupid law till you know someone that you love dies of 2nd hand smoke.:idiot: :idiot: :idiot:

[JDMitation]

Stupid law till you know someone that you love dies of 2nd hand smoke.:idiot: :idiot: :idiot:

you would have to stand next to a smoker (within about 3 feet) for pretty much at least one third of your natural life consistantly to die prematurely of second hand smoke.

do you really go to bars that much?

Not a proven fact. They do an experiment on that with a REAL human?

[RhdRicheeee]

20 feet!!!!!!!!!!

[JDMitation]

Not a proven fact. They do an experiment on that with a REAL human?

they have done studys on kids who grow up and live in homes with consistant smokers or nonsmokers who live with spouses who are consistant smokers (which would be equivilant to standing around them all the time) and they make judgements as to how harmful secondhand smoke is by comparing the juniors lungs to the parents lungs or by the wifes lungs to the husbands, etc. and that is about how bad it is for you.

i.e. second hand smoke (in terms of being actually seriously harmful to your health) is BS unless you are all up in their grill 24/7.

and if you dont like to be around smokers, you arent.

[Owens]

This kind of sucks, I went out tonight, and I always sit in the smoking section because I like the smell while I eat.

The mother fucking Grand Daddy Purps all night long baby.

I agree with JDMitations whole post and thats pretty much what I would say, so x2. :blunt:

[Guerillah]

go home if it bothers you that you cant smoke in public. who says you have more of a right to be there than people who dont smoke? just cause you choose to kill yourself doesnt mean you should have a right to subject other people to that shit in a confined area, especially those which work in such environments.

[bballcrazy15]

^x2

[91DA9]

The only part of all this that actually annoys me as a smoker is I can smoke at concerts/shows anymore. I usually just chill out around the bar, have a few drinks, a few smokes, enjoy the music and go home, but can't do that anymore...Past that I'm pretty much fine with it.

[YewllowDA]

never even touched it...

[KingDingaLing]

yay- i hate smokers

[DJ Soysauce]

Good law now I don't smell like smoke when I get home!

[Peteex]

I personally beleive they could have done it another way, we require liquour licenses for restaurants and bars to serve alcohol, a similar process should have been created to allow for smoking. Either that or limit smoking sections to those over the age of 18. By then you are legally considered an adult and should be able to make your own educated decisions. This way children are not submitted to second hand smoke by their parents or other adults. And then instead of limting smoking to outdoors, limit it to indoors only where the smoke can be contained and filtered, and people who don't want to be exposed to it can chose not to enter.

[KingDingaLing]

waiting for the day that kind is sold in coffee shops :)

i believe people should be legally be considered an adult at 16, seeing thats when they let us have a drivers liscense, thats a big responsibility. or change the driver liscense age to 18

[YewllowDA]

it'll be a problem for highschools in both situations.
not being able to drive until graduation or troubles with parents....

[teemfedx]

^^^
kids dont need to drive to school..there is a bus system ran both by the school, and the city....kids dont need to drive untill their 18.

[JDMitation]

true. fuck licenses at 18. baby bitches with DL's are why our insurance rates are so high for the under 25 category.


i affirm that every single ticket and dumbass regret i've ever had behind the wheel was between 15 and 7 months (permit) and 17. should never have had a license or a swapped civic :tongue:

[DeeDub]

lol it's more the chemical nicotine permeating their blood stream and brain but okay....

Its just a habbit. My buddy "forgets" to smoke all the time. And asks, did I have a cig... nope... so he'l spark one up. he only smokes when there's nothing to do. And right before he drive somewhere, and right when he out of his car.

That's y people who quit, quit cold turkey. I know many people that quit cold turkey.


I like the new law.

[crtEG6]

im half and half.....

i do smoke!

but i don't like smoking inside because its burns the shit out of my eyes! *example* LAZY-Q

i cant stand in there for more than 5min!!!

all i know is people bitch about people who smoke all the time! get over it! u shouldn't be so damn close to me anywayz!

smoking is a choice i made yea i know its bad.. and there is no real big explanation for why i do it!

all i know is that the people that bitch all the time like ohh.... get that out of my face... blah... blah.. blah...

X2 when im bored as hell i smoke.. and when im stressed the fuck i smoke!

[Guerillah]

I went out to a club last night, and oh it was so great with zero smoke, two thumbs up on the new law. Although there were fucking breaking the law by smoking directly outside the entrance door, but it doesnt bother me cause its outside in the open air.

[tincam84]

new law kicks ass. i voted for it.

Same here except I went to the pool hall.

If it bothers you when people tell you "get that away from me" and you wan them not stand so close cuz you're fuckin stinkin up the place, I'm gonna start waving my dick around and poking people with it...shouldn't bother you then. Eye for an eye.

x2. I never understood the differance between smoking near someone and spitting on them. Why dont I stand around and spit eveywhere and if you dont like it leave or dont get near me. Becuase its disgusting and no one wants to be covered in spit just like no one wants someone to smoke next to them and smell like smoke. Anyways for anyone whos bitching its the law now and theres a reason why its the law. :clap: :clap: :clap:

[DC2FTW]

it sucks when you slowly start losing your freedom and rights

[crtEG6]

well yea... it does bother me!!!!

i dont like to smoke inside ANYWHERE... i do not stand by the door!!!

but like i said dont stand so close to me!!!

i smoke in the open... i respect other people but since you know me and alll...

yea u can do whatever u want if u want to wave ur cock around because ur sexually depressed
than more power to you bro...

[INTEGRA DC2]

X2:clap:

[180sr]

i am a manager of a tucson strip club.....and i love the law. i dont come home every night smelling disgusting and blowing black crap out of my nose. it hurt business for about a week, and all the smokers realized that they will have to deal with it or stay home with the wife. i have 2 friends using the law to help them quit, since smoking in bars seems to be the hardest thing to beat. AZ seems to be on CAs nuts all the time and they have had these laws for a long time. everyone out there has long since gotten use to it.

i was standing in a group of about 6 smokers and 1 other non-smoker. the smokers were all bitching about the dumb law. it eventually came up that none of them voted, while the other non-smoker and i both did.

rant fail. suck it up.
bush got re-elected, but i can breath at work. ill take what i can get :P
