I must agree, she turned a blind eye to her fellow smoker's own behavior.
Actually for Big Brothers and sisters it was their number one profit maker for their charity!I'm sure those charities continued to get donations through other means. But Luissa, can you give me a good reason why employees on bingo halls don't deserve the same protections office workers have?
You say don't get a job where people smoke. Suppose you have a choice between working in a smoking environment or not feeding your kids? Suppose second hand smoke didn't really bother you at first but after a while you began to get sick from it and you had to quit and find other work? Why should you lose your job because of someone else's rude behavior?

And along with the bingo halls some of the 'dive' bars went out of business because most of their business was smokers. People just stayed home to drink! I can understand if it is a family place or maybe more up scale but what about the whole in wall place.
And another note now you have to drive 20 miles to the indian res. if you want to play bingo!There are no bingo halls in my city anymore!
Ang, if Hitler decided to demonize smoking you'd insist on telling us how swell he is. Truly. Make better choices and let everyone else make their own choices.

I have heard from my friend who works at a treament center on average people return to using whatever drug they use on average seven times!After thinking on it I have one final post to this topic, which actually just started off as a cute little joke.
I hate smoking because I hate being addicted, but I want to stop on my own terms. Forcing people to stop doing something only makes the addiction stronger, it never helps. Ask a rehab center how many times the average patient there returns to get an idea. A good example is AA, 12 step stuff, from P&T, they can just word things better and make it go down easier than I can:
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
Smoking itself isn't any more dangerous than walking down the street, but addiction is not a fun thing to contend with. Proof on here of what happens when addicts are pushed instead of coaxed, forced instead of nurtured. I know a few crack addicts (tobacco being more addictive) who stopped without any programs, law enforcement, etc.. They stopped because they wanted to themselves, no one told them they had to, no one pulled their arm, and it wasn't the law. One was getting high daily for almost 20 years, but she still broke that habit. So, if you do care about yours and our health, just don't force it. Many of us are quitting the habit, because it's just not fun being addicted, but making laws to push it only makes our willpower turn into fear.

I have only quit once when I was pregnant but I haven't tried since. Don't really want to right now!It took me three tries to quit smoking. I also heard that the best indicator that someone will quit successfully is if they've already tried before.
I will not eat in restaurants that are non smoking. People let their kids run wild in smoke free restaurants. The last time I was in a smoke free restaurant, a toddler reached over the side of my booth and ate off my plate.
I would rather have the smoke along with some peace and quiet. And yes, I have two kids. However, many people in my area seem to think manners are optional for kids.

Gotta love the tobacco nazis. They don't even want smokers in a privately-owned business. They should be tried for treason.

I have noticed that smoke free work places quickly become perfume free workplaces. Once the air clears, people find something else that annoys them: other people's perfume, diet, hygiene... the complaints get worse and worse. How did everyone suddenly be come so allergic and intolerant of everyone else? Why is asthma suddenly an epidemic in children?
Its odd. The cleaner the air becomes, the sicker we all seem to get.
