Mindcore-

I think MarkS2K hit the nail on the head. Business dropped a bit early on. However, as the law is statewide and therefore limits choices/alternatives business has come back and is as strong or stronger than ever.

"Hardcore" smokers (by that I mean those that really, really don't want to go outside) have gotten around this rule by creating "clubs". Essentially, anyone entering a bar designated as a smoker's "club" must be a member and must then pay a membership fee. As I understand it, most of the membership fees are negligible ($20/year). Those bars/restaurants that have gone this way have done very well, for the most part.

Of course, one of the lingering problems for them, at least in the USA, is the restaurant worker who gets cancer and then sues the bar or whatever for putting them in a dangerous working situation. Believe it or not, some of these cases seem to be winning and more and more of these suits are being brought.

 

First off all, for the record I would never smoke in my s2k and would never let anyone for that matter. But as someone who has been known to have an occassional cigarette, especially when drinking, I know that if you ash in your car, your car will start to reek from smoke, if you don't it really won't smell at all. I allowed people to smoke in my old car and it never smelt from cigarette smoke.

 

I am bad too.. butt flicker

Just last week, while cruising down the road, some yahoo, flicked his butt out the window, and it was air born. Smacked into the front of the car right by the H emblem. guess what? I was peed. Did I learn my lesson.. Ummm Nooo!! I have only smoked once or twice in the stook. I find it is too much work to smoke, and drive...

 

i hate it when people throw their cigg.. butt out the window!!! ive had several hit the s2k grrrr....

 

smoked for 20 years/2 packs a day. 40 year pack/history.
quit 7 years ago cold turkey. If I can quit, anyone can. I have to be the laziest SOB in the world with absolutely no willpower.

I will not throw stones at anyone who does smoke, but I can tell you that i do not miss it at all.

as Nike says: just do it........................

 

I have, unfortunately, diagnosed many people with lung cancer. Most recently a friend's mother. Each and every one of them a smoker and each and every one of them said the same thing. "I wish I would have quit" Most people aren't aware of their own mortality. It gets very frightening when you're suddenly facing it.

To give an interesting number: Taking all stages of lung cancer as a whole, your chances of being alive 5 years after being diagnosed with lung cancer is 15%.

I can promise all of you smokers, quitting is the best decision you will ever make.

 

So how many of you guys saw "planes, trains and automobiles". That's one of the funniest scenes I have seen in any film (that's right, they're not called movies).

May every butt flicker get their just desserts

A couple of years after the seeing the film I went out and bought a Le Baron convertible as well!
