No one is forcing smokers to go into these bars and restaurants instead of staying outside to finish their cigarette first.

It's your choice to go into them if you don't like the smoke then stay out.

This has already been addressed several times in this thread. Read it very carefully. Employees of the smoking establishments do not have a choice. They are being harmed.

I don't go into gay bars because of what's going on in them. Who am I to complain about what gay people do in a gay bar?
|
Fine. But if the gays start going into every other establishment and lighting up their cigarettes, I'll be the first in line to complain. About the smoking.

It takes 10s of thousands of cigarettes to signifcantly harm your health (in an adult).

Well there's an outlandish claim that's just BEGGING for a citation of source. hint: If it's from a tobacco industry-funded paper, it's bullshit.

Please stop whining about having to breathe in two seconds of smoke at some random place that you chose to go to.

Please stop whining about having to go 20 whole minutes without lighting up.

Breathing in emmisions from vehicles will kill you too if you suck on the exuast pipe.
|
You're right. That's why I don't suck on the exhaust pipe, and it's why anyone who tries to make me suck on the exhaust pipe should be arrested. By the same token, I don't want to be sucking on your cigarette.

Those emmisions are in the air all around you. They are smogging up the air every where. When you are at the mall you are breathing in emmisions from cars from all over. It is very unhealthy for you. I don't see you whiney hypocondriacs aren't complaining about that.
|
well this is a SMOKING thread, not a vehicle emissions thread. We're not complaining about the number of rapes nationwide or global warming or STD's either. See, we're trying to stay on topic here.
BTW us "whiny hypochondriacs" (that's how you spell those two words BTW) are not whiny, nor are we hypochondriacs. I strongly suspect you don't know what hypochondriac means.

I'm a non smoker but not an anti smoker (yay for labels.) Please stop WHINING like little children about smoking.
|
We're not whining. Please stop trolling with your idiotic accusations. We're registering a legitimate complaint. If you or someone else wants to smoke, that's fine, as long as they don't do it around those of us who don't want to smoke.

Let's strip people of their rights

Please tell me where in the constitution it says you have a right to smoke. Tell me where in the constitution it says you have the right to harm my health so you can get a nic fix.

because you don't like that they practice their formerly free right of personal choice (smoking) where you choose to be.

There is not nor was there ever a "right of personal choice." If there were, suicide would not be illegal.
And even the Personal Choice party, which claims that there should be a right to personal choice, qualifies it with "as long as it doesn't hurt other people" so even under their umbrella smoking around nonsmokers would be out.
