I agree about it being stupid for bars. How the hell do you separate drinking from smoking? I have known people who strickly do one and not the other, but those are usually in the minority.
But for restaurants I completely agree with it. When I'm eating a nice Italian dinner the last thing I want is some old douchebag broad who is like 52 but looks like she is 85 because of the leatherface she has from smoking three packs a day of Marlboro non-filtered to be lighting up and destroying my dinner.
That's all I got to say about that.

I live in a smoke free city, and people apparently did pretty well adjusting from what I've seen the past couple years.

YesI think these smoking bans suck as well. I smoke but only about 4 or 5 a day but when I'm out in the pub I do tend to smoke a lot more. I just can't imagine going out for a few drinkies and not being able to have a fag, I don't think I could handle that. I'm not addicted to smoking or anything though, I stopped for 9 years and then started again about 2 years ago but I could stop anytime I like, it's just that I quite enjoy it. Sometimes I can go for a whole week without one and it doesn't bother me, but I defintely like a smoke when drinking. I think they should smoking & non-smoking areas in pubs that would be a good idea but I think its next month its coming into effect in Scotland. I heard that some pubs are going to build wee capopy things outside the pub so you can smoke out there but there's no way I'm going outside for a smoke in the pouring rain or freezing cold. It looks like I'll just have to get used to not smoking and drinking.
But totally agree with a complete smoking ban in restaurants. It makes me feel physically sick when I'm out for a meal and there's some person smoking near me, its gross beyond belief, and in fact it happened just last week when I was in a restaurant, its stomach churning.

In a basic sense its a good thing. Smoking is hazardous to health not to mention unpleasant to non-smokers, in a way that non-smoking does not affect smokers.
In all honesty, paying through the ass to smoke your body into bad health while supporting jackass lobbyist groups is not a smart decision anyways.

i can buy over a pound of tobacco for under 5 dollars.so the price is no issue.indian reservations sell cheap.i make my own cigarettes no taxes either.no lobbyists are making a dime from me,but they should have a few restaurants for smokers only.i can smoke in a private club or two i attend but the coffee diner has outlawed it which sucks.
Lobbyists are lobbying to save the innocent noodles in a pleasant Italian dinner. You can't blame them.

Trust me, I suffer much more without my smokes than non-smokers sitting 40 feet away would were I smoking.
If I was sitting right next to a non-smoker, then I could understand their complaint. But if you can't deal with somebody at the other end of a diner smoking, you're either too sensitive or too whiny. The second-hand-smoke degree there is comparable to being outside near somebody who is smoking. Almost non-existant.

I don`t mind the smoking law.
I do smoke also but it don`t matter for me if I have to step outside to take a smoke. I`m used to go outside for a smoke, never smoked inside at home.
The only minus about the no smoking in bars is that it smells different. Of puke, alcohol and sweat(spell?). The smoke did in a way cover those smells.

It's impossible to make everyone happy. I think well designated (and air-conditioned!) smoking areas within bars would be a much better idea.

That's mostly what they did in my city (san antonio, texas).
Everyone heard that the big bad smoking ban was coming and we proceeded to freak out. But half the places around here just put up walls without doors between the smoking/non smoking, and the other half did nothing. That's the best thing about this town... you can get away with anything because there are no bleeding hearts to complain... they all move up the road to Austin when they turn 18.

I assume that you will be the only person smoking, right? I also assume that you will be 40 feet away from the nearest person when you are smoking, right?
I can deal with it either way. It strikes me as somewhat ridiculous that people cannot smoke in bars anymore, though. Some places are ignoring these new laws.

I agree with most people, it is good for most places, but it's dumb when applied to pubs. Because people can't smoke in pubs and clubs, some of them have to close down, and it sucks. I don't smoke though, so it doesn't directly affect me.

I would like to see smoking banned from all public places, because I wear contact lenses, and it really irritates my eyes.
