"Smokers and non-smokers have been separated for years in bars and taverns, minion. It is the non-smokers who come into smoking sections and then complain about the smoke. I know and you know it."
They just want to sit in the smoking section beause the wait is less time. Then they want to complain about the people smoking there even though it's their own fault for lack of patience. And I'd love anyone to show me one genuine study that shows 2nd hand smoke kills people.
What??!! No "hard science"? The legislator who helped get the Oklahoma smoking ban through was bitching because the businesses have 30 months to implement it, saying "every year we let it go, 750 more Oklahomans die from secondhand smoke." So, in that 30 months, smoking in public places will kill 2.5 X 750, or 1,875 non-smoking Oklahomans?? Spare me...
I'm not a smoker, but I do agree with you. I've seen the NS go sit at 'first come first served' tables near the bar in Outback Steakhouse, and BITCH about the smoke. Either wait in line like everyone else, or STFU.
There's a whole lot of POMA (Pulled Outta My Ass)algorithm statistics being thrown around on this second hand smoke nonsense.
