I never said that second hand smoke does or doesn't kill, I'm a not a researcher, scientist, or doctor. All I can do is rehash information that I get from news and the internet that can be tailor-cut to fit my argument on the matter. All I care about is having ONE place, just ONE bar that lets me smoke. You, as fighting for the rights of non-smokers, will win. Congress, our 1-once a day president, and the house will pass laws saying that you can't smoke anywhere considered public. It's all just a matter of time.
I don't want to hurt anyone and I respect everyone's right to breathe clean air, but it's my body and my choice to smoke or not. I know people who are highly allergic to smoke, I don't smoke anywhere near them and try not to smoke anything before I see them if I can. I do my best to make sure I don't do my disgusting habit around people who don't want it around them.
I don't care if 99.9% of all public areas are non-smoking. Just let me have my basement bar that is down a trash filled dark alley, with Christmas lights that provide the only light in the place, with great rock on the jukebox and a bartender who could give a fuck if I'm there or not. As she pours me a shot of whiskey, while she chain-smokes pall malls full flavor, and tells me in that scratchy I've-smoked-for-thirty-years voice that I have to pay my tab before I get my whiskey, I'll be happy. I'll feel at home there more than I do anywhere else.
To smoke or not to smoke is your choice, just don't tell me I can't do it if I go out of my way to make sure I don't bother you.
