i think restaurants should be able to get a smoking license
so we can have at least a couple restaurants where you can still smoke
I don't get that. Who wants a cigarette when you're eating? It ruins the taste of your food.
After dinner it's nice to kick back and have a cup of coffee and a smoke and some chitchat
But it ruins it for the people around you who are eating. Restaurants are the only real publicly smell-intensive situation, and cigarettes don't belong there. But in a bar or something? Go to town, no one's trying to taste a delicious steak when they're there.
nah, doesn't bother me
doesn't seem to bother the multitudes of other people who patronise the smoking section of restaurants
if it bugs you, then just go to any restaurant in the universe, since they're all nonsmoking now
but fuck, let the smokers keep like one or two places
there was this shithole cafe here
everyone that went there smoked
the place was fucking awesome
then it burned down.

Yeah, I guess you're right that a smoking section is fine, as long as they're normally kept far away.
Perhaps with some kind of airlock. With a big red X smeared on the side.

My friends do tell me that it is harder to quit heroin than it is to quit smoking. That's nuts.
your friends are gigantic fucking liars
Am i reading this wrong? Which one is harder to quit?
quitting smoking makes you crabby and might give you a mild headache for a day or two
quitting heroin makes you violently ill for weeks, gives you shakes and night terrors, and might kill you
The way you responded made it sound like nicotine was the worst.
And i trusted you knew what you were talking about.
i could have sworn mukus' statement was the other way around
my eyes are playing mean tricks on me

They had a big sign up at the local dry cleaners, about getting your clothes cleaned for the smoking ban.
Seems a little cruel. They're making it hard for you to smoke anywhere, and by the way you stink and your white shirts all look yellow so just PAY US TO FIX THIS.
I don't even know anyone quitting because of the ban.
The ones around here never had smoking to begin with.
You probably don't live in a small town where all the old fuckers congregate in the mornings, drink some coffee, smoke some cigs, and eat some breakfast. everyday.

Oddly, I meant to say it the other way around, so Knob was correct in his response to my intent.

In fact, of all the drugs to quit Nicotine is about the easiest, in terms of chemical dependency. What makes it hard is how available they are, and the fact that you can even still smoke pretty much anywhere. Worst case scenario you have to walk a few feet to get outside or to the "designated smoking area", but you can walk around smoking a butt and nobody says "boo".
You can't even do that with booze... which is, by the way, a chemical dependancy that is far more difficult to get over. Depending on how much a booze-hound drinks and for how long, quitting booze can kill you as well. The DTs are killer for booze in the case of a real, hardcore alcoholic.
Even the most hardcore smoker will only suffer irritability and some mild mood shifts.

ShippensBergy (1:04:40 AM): one time some girl was like "smoking takes away 7 minutes of your life" and my answer was "yeah, thats about how long it takes to smoke a cigarette, thanks."
AMERICAN SPIRIT
YES
YES
Filters? YES
No Filter? YES
I had unfiltered Spirits once and they were smooooooth. I don't really care either way. Someone will have to take up smoking for me once I get back from Japan, since I'm quitting for good after that.
That's probably a good idea.
Chances are you will be fucking pissed coming back from the land of "smoke basically where ever the fuck you feel like it" otherwise.

Well really you just hit those years sooner.
Which is why I then intend to pick up smoking then.
