+1. As a group, smokers are the most disrespectful group of people around.

I do know some who are polite enough to not smoke around people or at least ask. However, it's much more common for smokers to blow smoke wherever, light up wherever, and throw their butts wherever. I can't tell you how disgusting it is to have to walk over hundreds, if not thousands, of cigarette butts to get to the door to where I used to work. No smoking inside, but when a group of 10+ smokers gather outside the door, what a mess. And what a nasty smell.

If you must smoke, please don't exhale.

I expect this thread to be highly pro-smoking. One study I read said that 45% of truckers are smokers.

Places like bars should be exempt. I love a Marlboro with my Bud light, thats just how it is :lol:

Should we ban alcohol from resturants next?
I kinda dis agree with you on that bandit. I am a smoker and i think it should be up to the restaurants owner what type of restaurant he wants. If it is a non-smoking restaurant and i want to smoke i will not go there its that simple. If it is smoking a non-smoker does not have to eat there. This is America . People should have the right to run there buss. anyway they choose.

Well, that leaves 55% that are nonsmokers. A clear majority to me.

So apparently the law as written means once you cross the state line you can't smoke in your truck. Hmmm. I'm sure there will actually be very limited enforcement of this law as it applies to drivers.
