Well, poor Master Sunray, where ever will you people smoke downtown when at work as of Thursday?
Quote:
I know a lot of ex-smokers and most of them quit because of expense, NOT rules and anti-smokers pressuring them MASTER R., ... is that little stick thing and narrow strip of "paper?" in your picture for making a sort of filter for your cigarettes? Ma Yappy as a smoker or an ex-smoker would NEVER become an anti-smoking witch against smokers or businesses who cater to smoking customers, or workers who choose to work in them, through smoker-friendly establishments that gives the general public the freedom to choose to enter that establishment or not! As far as I'm concerned, entering a business establishment is a choice, NOT A RIGHT or a LAW and it's just another form of selfish discrimiation harrassment to try and force a business to cater to your preferences. Doublestandards are not democratic (that the correct word to use?) PLUS I do NOT see anywhere non-smokers or governments that make and enforce the laws offering to compensate for the losses and closures of businesses that fail, and lost wages for workers, because of non-smoking dictated rules inflicted on them without being given a choice. It's a selfish highhanded "my way or the highway action" that doesn't give a damn what it costs others for them to get their own way ... bullying is a good description of the behavior. (Yes, I'm very cranky about highhandedness these days and sometimes rant a bit) Enough blah blah for now. Karmen |

Hi Alex, cute. Now THERE'S an extremist, eh?
Regards smoking bans, I can sympathize and go with not smoking in office buildings, health establishments, and other places where the general public frequent/work/must go and such because so many people and employees don't smoke, are allergic, sensitive, etc. Smokers must consider the environment where they are as well as non-smokers must consider where they are, and most smokers I know are very accommodating to being considerate when that's fair. There has to be reasonableness. Going to the extremes of inflicting/forcing businesses to sacrifice their freedoms to choose and businesses and livelihood just to make an establishment non-smoker friendly is just going too far beyond reasonableness. There are SO many environmental risks to health other than smoking. Smoking has been targetted and singled out and has been made "an issue". What a mess it all is trying to come up with a balance of reasonableness that considers and respects both sides and doesn't arbitrarily destroy longstanding businesses and jobs. Time for a cigarette (I've not quit yet ) and anyone comes to my place knows to expect smoking, although if it really effects them and they ask, I will refrain from smoking inside while they're at my place ... outside? I'll stand far from them and light up where the smoke won't blow in their direction |

It was not til law suites started landing on city counsel members,loss of lawful income you know did things change..Sometimes you gotta kick the dog to get him to wake up... Patrick |

A lot of PC bullcrap if you ask me. Hell, the air quality in Toronto these last few days is far worse than the residual smoke in sealed, ventilated smoking rooms. It literally stinks outside, and the media are broadcasting warnings against going out, while at the same time beating their chests against us evil smokers. What clots.
The ironic thing is that the gummint will never ban the substance because of the taxes they get from it, yet they will go all out to 'punish' those of us who pay those taxes. Hypocracy at its worst.

1-800-RAT-LINE....

THis just came over Newswire... They even post a 1-800 number to rat out you evil smokers..... Toronto protected by new Smoke-Free Act TORONTO, May 31 /CNW/ - Toronto Public Health inspectors are visiting restaurants, bars, private clubs and other entertainment facilities to ensure operators are informed and in compliance with the provincial government's new Smoke-Free Ontario Act, which came into effect today, May 31. "This new Act protects employees and the vast majority of non-smokers from second-hand smoke. We support this new Act, and expect that the majority of restaurants, bars and other facilities will be in compliance," said Medical Officer of Health Dr. David McKeown. Tobacco is the number one preventable cause of death and illness in Ontario, killing more than 16,000 Ontarians every year, or 44 people every day. "This Act helps new generations of young people to grow up in smoke-free environments, and will hopefully discourage them from starting to smoke," said Dr. McKeown. "From a public-health perspective, this initiative takes us all a little closer to leading healthier, longer lives." The province-wide Act prevents smoking in all enclosed public spaces and workplaces, including restaurants, bars, schools, private clubs, sports arenas, entertainment venues, work vehicles and offices. It strengthens laws against tobacco sales to minors and restricts the display of tobacco products in retail outlets, with a complete ban on their display by May 31, 2008. In the City of Toronto, private clubs will now be smoke-free, and Designated Smoking Rooms can no longer be used for smoking. Ashtrays and health warning signs must be removed. For further information about the changes for Toronto, visit our website at www.toronto.ca/health. Call the Smokers' Helpline at 1-877-513-5333 for information about quitting smoking. << Visit our website at www.toronto.ca/health

In my bar tonight, around 1800, after the normal walk-in traffic, the owner opened up the smoking room again. They've suffered today, though... the place was virtually empty whe I got there about 1600, and remained so. Sad to see. They're all good people.
This is a piss-off.

this crap hit new brunswick a couple of years ago and the only ones it hurt were restaurant and bar owners. the night before it went into effect i went for a visit to my local watering hole, had a few delicious alpine lagers, accompanied by several players lights, and walked out...never to return. i figure that everyone is supposed to have rights, so why not let the owner decide who he caters to?not so....we are out in the cold, and they were left with trying to attract new smoke free business to make up for the losses. i ask....why would i pay top dollar for a beer when i can't have a smoke(s) with it? what i really miss is the cameraderie, or the shooting of the poop, while i enjoyed my beer and smoke.
...all is not lost, for in a few weeks there will be lots of cameraderie, beer drinking, smoking, story telling, and other shinanigans up at cc-5 and i intend to enjoy every bit of it! mike |

Sounds like a load of bollocks to me. Ok, I don't smoke where there is food being served, I don't go where smoking is already banned, but to tell me that I couldn't use the smoking room (hut in the carpark) at work, or smoke in the carpark itself; that would lead to all out war! What a lot of damage could be done to the local and national economy if all smokers just told the bosses to f**k off until all privleges were restored!
(In my case - my boss also smokes!!)
