You honestly think a retired military man lives in a rundown trailer?That's prety low even for you.My dad was retired military and i did 10 years for my country.That's hitting below the belt.

The great thing about the Ohio ban is that these hard core smokers are Johnny Come Lately to fight the ban. In 1984, Ohio had already banned smoking in theaters, opera houses, auditoriums, educational facilities, elevators, health care facilities, state owned buildings, libraries, public transportation and museums. We antis have had our foot in the door for over 25 years and have seen the smoking bans get more restrictive. Where were you smokers when you should have been fighting for the theater owners right to allow smoking?
You have lost.

Is that why the ashtrays are back on the tables and bars..you're a hoot

Oh...good news from the military front...
Total smoking ban being considered by all branches of the military....by top brass and Sec of Def.
If you want to smoke...do it on your own time away from the base and help the nation by paying the taxes on smokes off base/post like other hcs fools do.
Hopefully they do drug tests if they go 100% smoke free and do it right.
Smokers in the military held back the forces, did not work overtime to make up for their constant smoke breaks, were in less shape than nonsmokers and smelled up the place.
If you were paying a security guard good money and good bennies to take care and watch over you...do you want one who chain smokes or is hitting a butt every 30 minutes...outside a building which takes 1-5 minutes to get to and from?
youou would not promote this if youou didn't already know they will do whatever it takes to help the troop beat the addiction. They care.
youou, retired military and proud to hear the news

you would think there would be more respect for soldiers who risk their lives for freedoms..guess they will find out there is no reason to risk their lives anymore. Its not the least surprising that you spit on the soldiers own freedoms

Thats "if" he really is retired military, anyone who talks about themselfs as a third person gives one reason to doubt. How many active military men or women do you think would hold a active career if thats how they spoke? Respectivly speaking.

Oh so you was the one that coined the phrase ." Your mother wears combat boots "

Gosh.

If you had to think to breathe, you would turn blue and die.

Come to think of it, as a smoker that still may happen to you.

You seem to miss all of the progress that we have made in Ohio and other places in the past 25 years. Smoking bans started off slow- in elevators and places like that. We antis are like the camel who just wanted to get his nose inside the tent to keep it warm. Now we are standing almost halfway inside the tent. It will not be long before we are all the way inside there.

Yesterday, when I went to the grocery store in the morning, it was raining outside. The smoking employees were standing well outside the doorway and the covered areas and had umbrellas in thier habds as they were smoking. Five years ago, they all would have been huddled up close to the door where the rain could not reach them. They were now standing where they really needed to be.

Our local paper here has a listing of apartment complexes with units for rent. It has columns describing the amenities and rules. For example, it tells you whether pets are allowed. Over half of the COMPLEXES did not allow smoking.

When I need to go into Chicago, I take the train. Used to be you could smoke in almost half of the cars. Then there was only one car on the train you could smoke in and now there are none. After that, they made the entire station smoke free, including the platforms. Because of the percieved threat that terrorists may attack a commuter train, there is a large police presence and I have seen more than one commuter being given a ticket because they tried to smoke on the platform. Virtually all of the smokers comply and wait the extra 10 minutes or so that it takes them to get out of the station. Oh, yeah. Since there are also police on the street they have to wait until they get away from the door. 10 years ago that would have been unheard of.

I was on Michigan Avenue in Chicago the other day. There were actually very few people outside smoking as we were walking down the street. I saw only one lone pipe smoker and it reminded me of how few people smoke pipes in public. I smelled another pipe smoker on the train as I was returning home. Pipe smokers are truly a dying breed.

I go out to eat quite a bit. I ate at an outdoor cafe in Chicago the other night. There was also a large bar area. No smoking was allowed there. No one was smoking. That is the rule here rather than the exception. I also travel quite a bit, including forays into and through Ohio. I notice most places in ban areas do follow the ban. When i encounter a place that does not follow the ban (which is rare), I simply call the authorities and report it.

Say what you will, but as a smoker you are losing ground and the evidence is there for everyone to see. Of course, YOU are unable to see it because you seem to be here all of the time defending your "right" to smoke.

Look at all of the progress we have made in the last 25 years. Look at what we are proposing now (no smoking in cars with kids, no smoking in apartments and condos) and you can see waht a grim bleak future there is for smokers, including in your home state of Ohio.

I found this interesting.

Youou and all the sub-personalities is actually person against the smoking bans who is posting drivel all over Topix to make antis look bad.

Now that that is out in the open, you can relax, youou.

The antis really don't need your help for all who read this forum to see their insanity but I enjoy how you can emulate all their character flaws to a T.

Have you been approved for your Equity card yet?
