Does Anyone Here Smoke?

I thought Bloomberg just reversed the decision to ban smoking in restaurants and bars? Did he reverse it again? I can't keep up with him.

For all you hotshots who love to smoke, I issue the following challenge. In about 5-10 years try to do a double shift on the ice with me during a hockey game. Or step in the ring and let's see how many rounds you can survive.

Either that, or would you make me your beneficiary on your life insurance policies? :lol: :lol:

my hubby smokes but I do not.

*side note: he has said though, that when I get pregnant he's quitting.*

My dad quit when I was a baby. He had me outside and held me up and was showing me to his friends and said I smelled like smoke. I was only a little baby, I couldn't get away from it. He stopped as soon as he could after that.

The only smoking I think is okay (I don't ever plan on smoking anything) is a cigar every once in a while. And smoking a pipe in moderation isn't too bad either. But cigarettes make me literally sick....just the secondhand smoke makes me puke.

I knew you were cool.  I actually have my own smoking room.  Surrounded by my books and fine art, there's nothing better than a smoke, a glass of port, and good conversation.

As much as it pains me to agree with a compliment to PSPX ;) ^_^ , I'm 100% with you on this one PedroX.

I love to smoke pipes and cigars. In fact, I love to smoke Habanas in particular. This summer I'm making a little drive to our neighbors north of the border, eh, and I'm gonna pick me up some smokes at my favorite little Cuban cigar shop.


Man I wish I had a smoking room. Sometimes I just smoke on the porch of my office.

Pace.

If you're caught bringing them through the border checkpoint they will be confiscated.

I am fully aware Norseman. I've only done it, about 20 times before. I usually mail some to myself too.

I know. All illegal . . . I'm breaking the law, breaking the law!

Ash Wednesday

I used to smoke a cigar each New Year's eve in my previous relationship. I still know how to blow smoke rings. Not really my thing now because I think of my low life ex. (sorry... that isn't nice)

I can't stand cigarettes generally. I have a good friend (very devout Catholic) who smokes, and she wishes she didn't have to, but she's tried to quit so many times and can't stop. She's addicted. I used to not think much of accusations that tobacco companies like Philip Morris making cigs addictive but now I wonder.... :sadder:

He hasn't reversed it yet and I don't think he will. But in the meantime Pataki instituted the state smoking ban so there still won't be any smoking in bars or restuarants anyway. I agree with the ban on smoking in restuarants but for the bars I think it's a little ridiculous. I mean it's illegal to smoke in the bar, but it's also illegal to bring your drink outside the bar :wacko:.

I'm honored to have been complimented by two men of such caliber. I too wish I had a smoking room, but the contract for my apartment does not allow it. So I have to head outside. Someday though. Someday....
