Democrat upper house MP Arthur Chesterfield-Evans said every two days as many people died from smoking-related illness as were missing or killed in the bombings in Bali.

Where DO they get these numbers?!!!!

I'm just trying to find a drink-free smoking room.

I saw one of those once, but then I visited and it changed everything...:-(

ME, TOO!!!!

How many people here smoke only in a bar? Get a little loose and want a cigarette? Not to mention those who exist on them (bad english, incomplete sentence but I don't care).

[Vigilanteman]

Is it just me? Or does banning smoking in bars seem as out of place as banning fornicating in cathouses?

I don't "exist" on them, but I do love my coffee and cigarettes!

Cathouses are illegal. Except in Nevada.

The simple fact that we are actually seeing smokeless bars is hard to believe and demonstrates how real the problem is. Very good find. A definite read for all smokers.

A buddy found it for me. I owe my thanks to him! :)

And your right. This is really good reading. I just wish it would end and the anti's would dry up and blow away.

[metesky]

LOL!

[JoeSixPack1]

Thanks!! I was beginning to think nobody got it! :-)

The only time I smoke is in a bar. These assholes are going to destroy ANOTHER industry. Pub/tavern owners will go out of business, which will have a tremendous affect on the beverage industry. Why can't people just shut the F-up, stay home with their bottled water, and mind their own business?

Or eating apple pie in a diner.

[A CA Guy]

Here in CA they are all smoke free bars. I guess the trend is moving across the country.
Granted I love breathing clean air in restraunts and all, but I don't understand why there can't be also accomodation for smokers in some way.

Where DO they get these numbers?!!!!

From the same hat they pull out the rabbit.

I thought it was from somewhere else that the sun don't shine that they PUSHED something else from. ;^) (They pull them out of their a__.)
