We have two restaurants that I know of that still have cigarette machines in them. Also one you can smoke in but only when the flaps are up.

Port Salerno, FL (the pocket)

If the food and/or service was exceptional, I’d be willing to tolerate a little smoke esp if it’s well ventilated if my clothes don’t stink too much

Not everyone who smokes is a loser but almost every loser is a smoker. Same with tattoos.

“So I quit...”

Quit smoking, or quit your job?

“Smokers in restaurants suck.”

Definitely. And thank Heaven flights are no smoking.

“It is a common element among the lower classes and poor people to have tattoos.”

I think it’s ironic that the poor people are covered with gross tattoos. Aren’t tattoos expensive? Why not buy food, or take that car off the cinder blocks in the yard?

“I guess choice is/was too much of stretch for the antis....they want it all.”

Really. Because smoke is sentient and understands which way to waft, i.e., AWAY from the “antis”. Call me crazy, but I don’t think cigarette smoke can read a “no smoking” sign. If there’s smoke, EVERYONE is exposed.

“Quit smoking...”

That’s what I thought. Then it seemed it could be taken both ways.

Are you one of those who panics if someone lights up 100 yards up the beach?

Outdoors I don’t give a crap. Smoke cigarettes. Smoke weed. Fart. Whatever.

I was watching “Live PD”, one of the reality COP shows.
I was surprised that a very high percentage of the officers have full tattoo sleeves.

Now if only we could do it with stinky, noisy children.

Okay, a joke, sort of.
