by tobacco i mena ciggerates in general. I belive they should be illegal because they cause so much death even from second hand smoking. i know peolpe go nuts without there nicotine but they have gum and patches that will help. i want to know your opinions on this subject at hand. (wether or not it should be illegal and why)
Some bars, I would agree that perhaps they could allow smoking. However, if there are smoking bars in my town, I would go to the non-smoking one next door (not that I can yet anyways... next month!!).
thats the great thing about capitalism! some business person is going to make bank on a non-smoking bar if its true that most people don't smoke. the rest of us can stink in our smoke filled dark holes!
Noooo. These are completely different circumstances. In prohibition they banned ALL alcohol. Now, they just ban smoking in certain areas. It is not like the are taking everyones cigarettes away. THEN, people would smuggle.
prohibition doesn't work. it never has and never will. we are all like a bunch of kids...tell us we can't have it, we want it more. the federal prisons would be less than half full if we ended the drug war! something like 60% of the federal inmate population are non-violent drug offenders. i digress...carlie is right. the smoking bans are completely different than prohibition...although i think they are way too broad. like i said before, capitalism would work this all out if allowed.
Well, thank god. Because Capitalism solved so many more problems than it ever made. There is no more pure point in life than to undercut other people purely for profit. I do not think anyone can argue.
That was me pretending I was an obese Republican oil monger.
If the laws were changed from all bars being smoke free to allowing some to have smokers would solve a lot more. When was the last time you saw only one bar in a town or city? If you want to go to a bar that does not/does allow smoking just walk down the street a few hundred feet.
I think it would be reasonable for some to allow it. Like how you have to apply for an alcohol permit, you can also apply for a smoking permit for your bar. So then some bars it would be allowed, and in some you would still have a smoke free environment.
Well Asherlee...if that is true then he must of been one of those rare not annoying ones. Because you do not seem like the daughter of a oil monger.
Exactly. And it would not take as long a liquor permit. Well, I imagine it would not...And to counter-act the ill effects of smoking throw in an oxygen bar nextdoor. Mhhm.
Hmmm indeed... if the amount of smoking bars go up, then the amount of oxygen bars could increase with them! It would create new jobs and businesses... brilliant!
