Sometimes the shivering smokers outside the building have a more interesting conversation than the goody-goodies inside.  But, they clam up a bit when a goody-goodie tries to listen in.  What do you think?

not really, we're just cussing the goody-goodies that got us thrown outside. You wouldn't want to hear, not pretty. We also discuss which coats are warmest, and in the summer discuss whether the smoke hole should go nude.

Here in Queensland, Australia we don't allow people to smoke inside buildings like shopping centres etc, within a certain distance to the serving area of a bar, in any place where food is served, at childrens playgrounds, within 10 meters of a building entrance or at bus shelters.\n\nThe legislation in your area would need to be more specific other than "public places".

Depends on what you're smoking!!

Sounds to me that regardless of where they put you, there will be environmental influences. See if the vent can be adjusted to where it doesn't blow on you, wear a sweater or even wear a jacket and maybe they will get the hint you're cold.eventually, as for the noises, in time,  you won't even notice them...

That's what everyone said when the law passed in NYC and nothing changed.  Most people actually ended up liking it better.  People complained a little about it the first winter because it was cold outside but no one really cares anymore.  \n\nThe only problems are that: \n1) Drunk people keep trying to take their beer out onto the sidewalk now when they go to have a cigarette \n2) Upstairs neighbors complain that the drunk smokers on the sidewalk are too noisy (bars are open til 4am) and now there are more noise complaints

People say this because they themselves don't even know what the hell they're talking about. They're probably stoned or something. So to make up for their nonsense, they try to throw you a curve by making you agree to know what they're saying. Uh...no, I don't know what yo' sayin', but I sure wish you'd shut the hell up.

Smoking's a phase most of us all go through. If it isn't too late for you, try visiting a hospital cancer center. There will invariably be patients, emaciated, hairless cancer victims, with I.V.s attached, outside 'enjoying' their cigarettes. REALLY makes one think, doesn't it?

I don't smoke and I feel weird around smokers, but unlike smokers, cursers can't harm you in anyway. Just ignore them or politely ask them to watch their language around you.

Yes and no!! Yes because we know they are not REALLY concerned for our health!  No because,as smokers,we KNOW the tax we have to pay,but we CHOOSE to pay it!! So ask yourself,who are the real mugs?? I know I am! The budget is due shortly,yet another increase....................\nmoan......moan........moan!!!!!!\n      *********Just a note************\n As Alchohol levels reach record high, misuse among all age groups is estimated to cost the NHS pounds 1.7bn a year. !!!!\nSo smokers are NOT the only ones!!!!!! How many of you on here, condeming smokers, drink?????????? Hypocritical???????

They just passed a law in a city near San Francisco that prohibits smoking anywhere but a totally detached home.  If you live in a townhouse or apartment it's against the law to smoke.  Next they will be in your home telling you what you can and can't eat.  It's effing ridiculous!

I Recently stopped smoking,it doesn't give me the right to tell you where you can or can not smoke. You have the right to enjoy yourself.

I smoke to wish i could quit but its hard i did for a year, but yes i agree, you know what i cant stand is when your smoking outside and someone has the nerve to complain about the smell for people that don't want to breathe it then stay away from us and everyone is happy. For the record we don't choose to want lung cancer we are just addicted and I'm sure you are addicted to something so GUESS WHAT YOUR NOT PERFECT EITHER......I have a great idea if you people don't like it then you better never leave your house, you cant tell people what they can or cannot do we are humans to and have equal rights
