Love smoke-free
I absolutely love having everything smoke-free. I can not stand the
smell of smoke and it makes me feel icky breathing it in. I know people
complain about it, but I think that those of us who don't smoke
shouldn't have to breathe it in.

Smoking Ban
We heard all the whining and complaints here in Illinois...it's been in
effect for several months now and...it's been GREAT! My wife just was
up for a conference in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin and went into a restaurant
for dinner and the smoke really took her by surprise. She's gotten so
used to the smoke free here in Illinois now, that it nearly gagged her.
I'm glad Illinois did it, and I think Wisco should next if they want to
keep getting our "flatlander" tourist $$$$.

Smoking Ban
It seems that when the choice is given ban smoking or not to ban smoking
there are some places of business that are successful as being smoke
free and some that are successful for still allowing patrons to smoke-
seems like a win-win, but is it? Let's say that patrons at a
smoking-allowed restaurant are more generous because they like having a
place to go to where their dirty habit is accepted. This could mean
that someone who is waiting tables or bar tending to make ends meet is
going to have a greater benefit working at the smoke-allowed
establishment. A choice, yes, but if it's a matter of providing for
your family, is it really a choice? But to get more money, they are
putting their health at risk. It's an ethical dilemma. Personally, I
support banning smoking in all public areas- not just indoors. There's
nothing more disgusting than going to a beach or a park and having to
deal with cigarette butts on the ground and the nauseating feeling I get
when on a sweet-smelling, clear day, I am confronted with the disgusting
stench of smoke.

Smoking Ban
A neighborhood restaurant chose to ban smoking, they lost a few
customers, but gained many more. I worked in a place that had to comply
with the city's ban, once again we gained business. Our regular smokers
continued to come, instead of chain smoking all night, they'd step
outside hourly. Even they had to admit it was probably a better thing
for them. Once we replaced the carpet, the place never smelt better. The
aromas of food is much more apetizing than stale tobacco stench.
We should protect the lungs of cocktail waitresses just the same as the
lungs of librarians. P.S. I was a smoker for 7 years, I never expected
anyone else to endure the smoke.

Ban on smoking
Florida has a ban on smoking in almost any public area. Although the
restaurant owners complained loud and long about this change, it has not
hurt business. In fact one local bar and grill tells me that business
has improved as people who previously did not enter the bar because of
the smell of cigarette smoke are now coming in again. And the
waitresses are sure happier.

Smoking ban
I was entering my vehicle at home one day and smelled cigarette smoke.
It was my next door neighbor sitting on his porch smoking. Being
allergic to smoke that was difficult for me. I need to breath to live;
no one needs to smoke to live. Ban it already!
