Smoking

What's your views on this? Do you have a smoking ban where you live?

I think it is disgusting, and if you are going to smoke please do it off to the side if people are bothered by it. Where I live it is illegal to smoke inside of a public building.

YUCK! Smoking is horrible.
In Ohio you can't smoke in public places. No joke, It's the best. It's so nice to go to a bowling alley and not reak of smoke when you walk out.

My dad smokes unfortunatly. He smokes in the garage. My mom and I hate it. We gave him like a year to quit or else he had to spend a week at his mothers. [Yes, that's a bad thing. haha] He didn't quit so we said goodbye to him for a week. haha

We have the public smoking ban, I love it! I can go to a gig and come home smelling a little less smokey!
Except now they all stand outside and smoke, so when I walk home I have to walk past a pub and i get the smoke then.

Ew, I know. If you're walking by a resturant anywhere or going into one you better hold your breath all the way back when you got out of your car because it reaks..

I know, it's so gross. And the men outside smoking then perve over me. Eurgh!

Smoking is disgusting and smells disgusting. I don't go near people who smoke because I don't want the smell on my hair and clothes.

They like stare me up and down and give me gooney looks. It's like, ew. Get away.

yup they banned it from public places here. my dads a heavy smoker which makes me a passive smoker. i use to smoke at one point but dont anymore; some people smoked because it was cool, but for me it was to calm myself, my way of dealing with stress. i smoked a month ago at a party with friends; so i guess that means i smoke socially??? hmm.... but i dont do it everyday. :/

I'm glad you don't do it everyday at least. It's a disgusting habit.

Yes, we have a smoking ban, and in my opinion England is SO much better off with it! Public places are smoke free and you can actually breathe, and go to restaurants and pubs without having to return smelling like a room full of smokers!
I hate being near smokers, I don't want to stink of cigarettes and I don't want to be passive smoking.
Also, I volunteer in a Respiratory Ward at my local hospital. Most of the patients there are in there because of smoking-related reasons. If anybody saw some of the things I see, or saw how much pain these patients can be in, they would never touch a cigarette again.

i'm not against it. i've found that when your extremely angry smoking (legal cigars/cigarettes) its really calming. i mean i have some anger issues so when i get angry i get really angry..so it helps but its not a habit..

i'm not against it i smoke and have since i was raped it helps me coop with things i mean yes it is a very bad habit and i hate myself for starting but i can't help and brittany your wrong it is a habit if you have been smoking as long as i have then it is a habit but if you are just a beginer then its not that hard to quite trust me but when your parents smoke and your tryng to quite you smell the smoke and and start to crave it but about the smell i shower two-three times a day and now nobody believes that i smoke they all say that i don't smell like smoke so i guess i'm just really really luckie i need to quite i really do 'cause i want to be in track and i can't run for a mile with out feeling like i'm gunna die

i know it becomes a habit for some..i just ment on a personal level..i mean i've been smoking for 5 years...and it hasn't become something i need to do..its just a good way to cope..but i'm incontrol of alot of what i do..even drinking..not sure weather its a gift or a curse..
