Will Smoking Be Banned in the Stadium

This is the funniest thread. It's like two political parties that never see eye to eye. LOL!!!

As you can see by my avatar, I like a good cigar from time to time but here is the catch. Even though I like cigars, I understand a lot of people don't care for the smoke, the smell, or anything else about them so I respect the people around me and do not smoke in stadiums, restaurants, or around large crowds. There are plenty of places for me to smoke where I can enjoy my habit and not bother another soul in the world. The problem is....most cigarette smokers don't give a crap about the people around them. They need the nicotine fix so they light up anywhere and puff away. I think most non-smokers don't care if people smoke - they just don't want that smoke around them. If smokers would respect the people around them who may not want to indulge in your smoking habit, legislating smoking areas wouldn't be necessary. Smokers need to fix the problem themselves or the non-smoking people who are fed up will pass laws to fix it for them.

The second hand smoke crowd is the same as the global warming crowd. They are both religions to the believers. There is as much point arguing with them as there is telling someone there religion is wrong.

Scientists, regardless of credentials, who dispute global warming claims are ostracized. They'll offer to debate believers and their opponents refuse and call them idiots.

Doctors who find no causality in second hand smoke and cancer, or who point to air pollution as a much greater risk are similarly insulted and ignored.

just another ploy by our socialist democrat state and federal leaders to slowly strip away our freedoms. i was raised on tobacco, and alot of my family members has had tobacco pay their bills. they are trying to drive tobacco into the ground after jan. 2. Now, that will affect my family's ability to make a living when there is a massive cutdown on smoking, but no one thinks about the people that will be without a job. they just think of themselves and how that little cigarette smell really f'd up their day.

thats my 2 cents worth and i think the whole idea is rediculous. if we want to smoke, let us smoke. do you tell the homos to stop being gay and not try to get married? to tell the women they can or cannot kill their unborn baby?

so many other big issues that matter, rather if my burning cigarette made you wet yourself. how ironic, the state that made tobacco and brought in so much economic growth, is being driven into the ground. so sad......-

did not get a chance to get down to your section, my boy was whining that his legs hurt, which they probably did. he didn't wanna get up until halftime and by the 4th quarter he was almost asleep, which means i carried him all the way out of the stadium, down morehead st, and to the parking lot. hell, i almost fell asleep as boring as that game was.

look man, they smoked, they knew the rules, i know the rules. God rest thier soul. it was their choice. they knew it wasn't healthy. did you hold a gun to their head and force a cigarette on them? didn't think so. if i die from smoking, why is it someone else's fault? thats the problem with this country now, everyone wants to blame somebody else, and no one wants to accept responsibility for their own actions.
