According to ASHRAE during last year's WCB hearings in Canada, ventilation rates for bars, cocktail lounges and casinos where smoking is allowed are 30 cfm (cubic feet per minute per person). Their previously published official indoor air quality ventilation standards for smoking v non-smoking were 60cfm v 20cfm respectively. Have no idea how that works out re volume vs velocity.
I'm pretty sure I never said anything about 35,000 times per hour. You see? Typical of an anti, you see what you want to see whether it's there or not.
Self-styled anti-smoker "expert" James Repace claims it would take 300 mph winds to remove smoke from a room. Once he even said 700 mph winds. Hurricane Andrew clocked in around 165 mph with gusts up to 212. Maybe that's what he means: If the room is gone, there ain't no smoke left either.
I'm sure that sounds much better in the original German, so here ya go:
Raucher sind MEISTE rude, Selbst-zentrierte Leute auf dem Gesicht dieses Planeten DAS EINZELNE.
35,000 times works out to a year at 4 times per hour (which is the regulation) 24 hours per day. Talk about throwing out misleading stats. That is not becoming of a principled smoker is it ?
An exchange of merely 4 times per hour means I need to breathe your smoke for up to 15 minutes before its gone. No thanks.
I don't know. I wanted to look for some sort of support for what is required for air exchange. The 35,000 figure implied that it was at least daily and was obviously used to mislead the debate. When you find out that it boils down to every 15 minutes and that one must endure the smoke for 15 minutes before its gone is not exactly an endorsement that good air equipment is the answer.
Can't have that!!!
...altho that would have been the proper course...and the juries DUTY.

Actually, people who hijack airplanes and fly them into large buildings are the single most rude, self-centered people on the face of this planet. Followed by:
2. "Suicide bombers".
3. Spree killers.
4. Self-styled "civil rights" activists.
5. People who play their car stereos loud enough to register on the Richter Scale.
6. People who put loud obnoxious car alarms in POS cars that no self-respecting crook would be tempted to steal.
7. People who do not flush.
8. People who think the right to murder an unwanted baby is the most important civil right in the world.
9. Drug addicts.
10. Other Democrats.
11. Smokers (although some of the ones here may be worse than Democrats).
It's only "misleading" in the mind of an Anti True Believer, minnie. I said very clearly "the water in a pool is exchanged once a year and the air in a restaurant about 35,000 times."
An exchange of merely 4 times per hour means I need to breathe your smoke for up to 15 minutes before its gone. No thanks.
Well, no you don't. You can simply take the responsibility for going to places that don't permit smoking. Sounds like you and I would both be happier if we were in totally separate places.
