So, my town has passed a smoking ban for all public facilities, with only a few exceptions. I’m so tired of my constitutional rights being taken away, I’m going crazy. I can’t fathom the reason non-smokers have such a assertive personal opinion on what us smokers do. I understand that smoking is unhealthy, but I made a conscience decision when I took up smoking, aware of the fact it was unhealthy. Just because non-smokers want me to cease, doesn’t mean that it is going to happen. Smoking in bars has been a allowance, but most restaurants include a chosen smoking section. If non-smokers don’t want to be in the smoke, don’t sit down in the smoking section, you are not coerced to sit in that section. And as well as the jobholers of these pubs that comment they are tortured by second hand smoke, what a joke. I held jobs in the hospitality industry for more than 10 years, and I know that almost all of thefellow workers were smokers. Dealing with people, always, drives you to smoke. Also, I have never overheard one non-smoking co-worker ever complain about cigarette smoke while working in the smoking section. Putting a smoking prohibition in restaurants and bars, ultimately will only save me money, because I won’t go out after the first of the year.

Just a Couple Days to the Smoking Prohibition
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009What I need for the holiday: Cigars!
Friday, December 18th, 2009I have made a decision this holiday to plead for trustworthy Christmas Gifts that my wife can determine comfortably for me. My first choice, as always, is my favorite smoke from cigar-humidor.orgĀ . She doesn’t even have to leave the home, she can go on the internet (I have all my favorites sites saved) and enter the order there. As far as anything else, she can go to the local store and choose a gift. She mentions every holiday that I am utterly baffling person to buy for. But we have been inseperable for over 15 years! And if she doesn’t know the things I admire by now, I quit. I always mention every December, “I want cigars”, I puff on 1 or 2 per day, and that adds up. I bought a humidor for storing my cigars, “what’s that for?” my love askes. Well my love, it’s to keep my smokes lively. So, if you get me some for christmas I can store them in that for a few months and pull one when I am ready to enjoy one. Although I have to say, I got blessed with luck last year, my love purchased me a lighter that was ingraved with my initials. The prior year, she got me a fishing pole, unfortunately I said I would like to go fishing again someday. Well, I went fishing one time in two years, but guess what, I still puff 1-2 cigars a day. So what do I want for christmas this year? I want Cigars, and whatever else would just be an secondary enjoyment.
