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.
