There are many places I have to go where smoking isn't allowed as I run around doing my errands. That's fine. I grab a cigarette when I get back to my vehicle.
Private business's saw this smoking ban coming. They didn't believe it could happen to them. Plus the anti's lied to them and said 'your business will improve.' A blatant lie. More of them closed instead of improving.
But no one is going to take care of my comfort and my money but me. Smokers are so controlled, banned, restricted and taxed to death that now it's MY turn to protest the whole ball of wax by NOT taking my money into a business on MY leisure time when I can't continue to be accepted, enjoy a good meal, my beverage and relax with my friends and cigarettes.
They have gone hand-in-hand since I started smoking 30 years ago. So, I don't take my time and my money to the restaurants and taverns any longer. I do take-out and delivery and sit around in the comfort of MY home, save money, have fun, have like-minded friends over and smoke as much as we like.
I refuse to go out to dinner and pay for that personal abuse. I didn't instigate this smoking ban and I sure won't support it by continuing to spend my money where I am no longer accepted just because I smoke a legal commodity.
