Bwahahah filthy smokers... too right!

I wonder how the smokers that hang around our building entrance creating billowing clouds of crap of I have to walk through would feel if on a nice still morning I wandered out and dropped one of my stinkier farts amongst them?

Smokers have had it coming for decades... their rudeness and inconsiderate behaviour is why this is being done.

Hear hear:)
Turn about is fair play...

a few month ago our company put a full smoking ban, smoking is now only allowed
out of the building at a special place made for smoker.
I'm honest, i'm REALLY happy now as a non smoker. No more blue stinking smoke at work!

See now that seems fair to me.
I can understand how a company might not want smoking inside their building. or for that matter not want their employees crowding up their entrances.
So they did the smart thing and provided a place that smokers can go.

what I dont like is when government tells a company it cant allow smoking  anymore. I know here in jersey there is a push on to ban smoking from all public places including Bars and resturants.

Now there are already a bunch of resturants who on their own do not allow smoking. and there are others who offer a smoke free section.
Why we need or want government interference here is beyond me. Seems to me THAT should be up to the buisness owner.
He can allow smoking or not. his buisness his choice.
And emplyees can choose to work there or not. their choice

[Skydancer]

Sounds like you have the same problem there as we do here. Its just that here its Eurocrats in Brussels telling us what to do.

Its gone too far I agree.

[Jackal1]

Please refrain from breathing while I smoke.

Many a time I have come across smokers who ignore "smoke free" areas, in so far as to move signs, get ash trays, etc.

Smokers had it coming, no sympathy here, you're a minority now, like all minorities you need to go through a period of persecution

Well then there should be penalties for those that do.
Just as many times I see people parking in spots marked for handicapped that arent handicapped. There are penalties for that also.

Dont expect your sympothy just as I give no sympothy to those that come to a smoking allowed area and complain about the smoke.
If you dont like smoke or where smoking is allowed dont go there.
And if you do insist on going there. Dont complain about my arrogence. You chose to go there.

As for smoking outside. You probably stand a  far greater chance of getting sick from the air pollution caused by that megasized SUV you may drive or the industrial plant you may work at then if I lit up an entire pack and smoked them all at the same time.

it's attitudes like that which make me want to come to your house and chain smoke a pack in your living room, putting the butts out on the carpet. ; P


as a smoker, i do not recall intentionally smoking in a "smoke free" area, nor have i gone to "get an ashtray"

YET

i have encountered rude, snooty, complaining non-smokers who have gone as far as to try and make me put out a cig at a public park in the open, because their child was within 100 feet of me. the jerk even got in my face, all red-faced, veins a poppin, telling me i am "killing his daughter" who is so far away, i can not make out what weird little animal was on her dress.


it goes both way's Vulcan. you wanna say "all smokers are jerks, and deserve it" then i say all non-smokers are liberal crybabies, and are so selfish, they want the whole world to change to the way they think.

Had a similar situation once.

Guy comes to where Im at minding my own buisness and starts getting in my face telling me to put it out in a smoking allowed area.
Told him if he didnt get out of my face I was gonna put it out on his forehead.

Normally I'll try my best to accomodate anyone when its reasonable and if they are being reasonable.
But the best way to assure that not only wont I accomadate you but will outright refuse in no uncertain terms and often end up doing it more just to piss you off is to get in my face about something.

Do you drive a car? Then shut the hell up about cigarette smokers, you put 1000 times more nasty crap it the atmosphere than even the most dedicated smoker ever will.

Most anti-smokers are NOT truly interested in creating a better environment, they simply want to be right, to be better than you.

If a vegan, non-smoking, non-car driving, holistic, child of the earth type asks me to not smoke around them, fine, they walk the talk and I can respect that. The rest of you can blow it out your rear.

Used to smoke, quit and am glad I did.

Personally I think if you want to smoke, then fine, have at it, but you forfeit you're right to any government healthcare in your old age for smoking related illness.  

As for banning smoking, I think that is bogus too.  People have the right to smoke all they want, but the counter is people have the right to designate their restaurants and the like as non smoking.

Personally, I would be happy if they would just keep the damn smokers away from the exit / entrance to the airport so when I exit the building I do not have too run the 100 yd gauntlet of smokers.


As for people threatening smokers in areas not designated as non smoking, I say enjoy putting the butt out on their forehead.  

[Nilsen]

i dont care what people smoke in the privacy of their own homes or back yards.

i dont like walking through a cloud of stink when i wanna eat out tho... i used to be one of the stinkers and even then i didnt much care for people doing it in my face in when i ate.

Most smokers are vile, lazy, smelly jerks. (most)


I love liberal, green smokers tossing their buts everywhere they go. Like their litter is ok.


Were I work the building manager paid to have the whole area around the building cleaned because the dirt ball smokers tossed their buts on the ground instead of the company supplied ashtrays.


Two days later he had to send out an email that in effect said  "SMOKERS, go out and clean your buts, do it today, by the end of the work day, I already cleaned over 150 buts up, TWO days after we had the area cleaned. If you fail to clean you mess, smoking WILL BE banned on the property."


I got to laugh at the smokers as they cleaned their litter.


Not to mention smokers taking 10, ten minute brakes a day to feed their pathetic addiction.



Still I am against the anti smoking in public places laws.  Your outdoors, as long as you don’t litter I don’t care if you smoke. Heck I don’t even care if you do it in a bar or food joint, that should be up to the owner.

I just wish you all didn’t smell(you really do), have bad breath, take to many breaks when their is work to do and litter!

LOL similar happened here, and our company is watching this
daily 10 x ten minutes brake carefully. Thats is lets say aprox
1/2 to 1 hours less work on a daily base. That makes how much
in a wekk? month? year? how fair is that to a non smoker?

someone said:"And emplyees can choose to work there or not. their choice"

how true, their choice to still have the job or to be the ultimate free smoker without a job hehe


i dont knwo why i found discussions about smoking thats funny,
maybe because i'm a former smoker and today such a discussion
or the new price for a zig-pack doesent affect me at all. Its funn
to read & watch smokers addicted to this blue smoke they can't escape
