should be fair for all - i gave up smoking 4 years ago and don't like to be in smokey atmospheres at all now - but that's my choice so i can avoid going to places i know will be smoke-filled.

The only person a smoker is dishonest with is themselves.  They smell, their second hand smoke stinks, and they are putting their own longevity at risk (which is their choice).  There is no correlation otherwise.  I'm glad I finally quit lying to myself.

Get Cancer!!!!( Got it because of his smoking habit) That's how my Dad kicked the habit!! And my Mom kicked the habit because everytime she would light up I would throw up!  \n\n    Just stop!!!  It is just mind over matter!!!

I think smoking is a personal choice.  I used to smoke and I quit, but I still believe this is a free country and what people do in their homes/cars etc. is their business as long as it's not hurting anyone else.  Second hand smoke is annoying, however, if I don't want to experience it, I don't go into places where there is a lot of smokers or bad ventilation.  I don't think it's fair to try and regulate everything because this is still the United States.  Not to mention, what do you think they will move to next?

AMEN sista........ both my parents smoke, my boyfriend smokes, and my friends smoke... I don not, what is the point really? WHY Smoke... it's makes your clothes and house stink, cost you a sh*t load of money each month, smell your fingers.....gross they smell like an ashtray don't they. I mean I don't care if people smoke, but their is really no POINT to ever start, espically people that never smoked and then they start when their like in their 20's thats crazy!!!

I agree with milwoodsgal.  And, second hand smoke should definately take a backseat to the drugs being used by people and damaging their brains.  Meth cookers cooking with the kids in the house is also a huge concern.

I used to smoke, the only way that I did it was pure willpower and mind over matter.  You can do anything that you set your mind to, if you truly want it bad enough.  So, go over again the reasons why you want to stop smoking, is it for yourself or for someone else?  If it is for yourself, then you are already half way there.  Also, while you are trying to quit, don't put yourself into situations or environments where you are going to be tempted to smoke because other people are smoking.  Last but not least, make sure you have the support of your friends and family.  If you are trying to stop smoking, others should respect this and not smoke around you.

Check with your local and state laws, whatever state you live in. I just love a smoke after full or self service.

I'm a smoker (no, not bragging or trying to justify it....stupid habit). Still, as a smoker, I'm really irritated by smokers who do that. I always use an inside ash tray, besides making sure I'm way downwind of non-smokers even when I smoke outdoors. I think it's just the decent thing to do. Also, throwing cigs out of a moving car window is dangerous, not to mention stupid!

I'm sure you've heard the Bible command about loving your neighbor....right?   Well, would it be a loving thing to add deadly second hand smoke to the air at this festival?\n\nPersonally, after watching my mother die of lung cancer and heart failure due to smoking, and my father needlessly suffer and die from second hand smoke, I am appalled that anyone would even consider using their addiction as an excuse for doing such a thing as you are suggesting!  (Yes, I'm angry!)

I agree, no wants to smell smoke when they eat.... however.... I strongly disagree on banning it from bars, cigs and beer go hand and hand for most people, infact people who dont smoke, will often ONLY light up while drinking.

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
