Quit smoking in July after smoking for for 43 years (started when I was 14). On July 22 had three stents put in. On July 26 had cardiac arrest and came real close to death. Don’t miss the cigarettes at all but do miss some of the better tasting food I’ve had to give up.
Sorry about your lung loss and hope you get better. God can heal, you know.
Midnight breakfast was always the best meal served.
LOL...have fun standing outside in February dragging on that cig.
Don’t hate on me because I don’t wanna inhale YOUR smoke while I’m enjoying MY meal.
If we’re talking about a bar, all bets are off—that’s apples/oranges, but while I’m eating my NY Strip, I have no patience for the odor of your Marlboro...
Take care.
I never smoked in restaurants anyway since it's just bad manners to subject others to cigar smoke while eating inside.
However, it should be up to the restaurant to decide whether to allow smoking within their establishment, not government.
LOL! I KNEW I should have stayed in Texas, but it was simply tooooooo HOT for me. ;*)
Of course it is the same thing! There are no "facts" about cig smoke, only carefully crafted propaganda that you are happy to spread.
If you have some kind of smoking device that has a glass enclosure .....
That was done along with high priced air filtration systems, but that wasn't good enough for the facists! State wide smoking bans it is.
If this was a FREE COUNTRY, one could open a "non-smoking" restaurant, which they all have become under facist state wide smoking bans, and someone else could open a "smoking" restaurant down the street. But NOOOoooooooo
Hey, as long as the smoke nazis are happy, nothing else matters.
They're achieving their desires by their ignorance and/or vindictiveness and it's a farce. By the incessant warnings of the dangers of SHS, they had to manipulate the actual scientific findings.
Apparently, there is no proof that the average person has ever suffered from it. As to my own observation, looking back over many years, I've never known of one case where anyone became ill or died from SHS. Yet, during most of those years, smoking was common.
These smoking bans are nothing more than big brother control over citizens.
It was predicted, and we already see, government gearing up to control what people eat and what the restaurants can serve.
Another very important part of the government package will include taking from those who have worked hard to earn their money being forced by government to share it with those who have less. Hillary said it. Obama said it.
Anyone who believes they have the right to deny freedoms under the Constitution had better be ready to give up theirs, if the Dems take over the White House.
Where I’m at, people are still buying $3000 bottles of wine like they were soda pop...but for how long?
