Whahhh...Frickin....Wahhhh

Where was all the compassion when, as a Non-smoker, I had to smell all that crap when I was trying to enjoy a meal out at a restaurant...or when I wanted to go out and have a couple of pops and came back wreaking of somebody elses nasty habit....now all of a sudden you have to be inconvenienced because of YOUR nasty habit and WE are supposed to feel compassion.....not this guy.

I love the fact that Smokers are the Lepers of the 21st century....

I have Zero Compassion for Smokers.....they can KMA for all I care.

My father was a smoker (Had to quit after being diagnosed w/ Emphesema) and I made him go outside and smoke...so I'm not just picking on you....

Hey Bernardi, You get a Thumbs up from this guy on your No Smoking Policy

I had no problem with their policy and follow the rules where ever I go. It was the fact that until I got to the door I did not know this policy. It wasn't till I looked for a proper place to dispose of my cigarette that I saw the small sign on the door. Any decent person who sees a sign for no smoking will immediately extinguish the cigarette and look to get rid of it. They had a nice potted plant there but I am not the kind of guy to dispose of my spent cigarette improperly. Just have a bucket so people who want to adhere to your policy can, is that really too much to ask for.

Nice free country we have here, it's getting better all the time

Our company has a very strict smoking policy... smoking is only allowed in the provided tent ( at the back of the parking lot)..... or the smokers own vehicle.. those caught smoking outside the "zone" are given 1 written warning then a 2 day suspension... there are disposal containers at each entrance for the unimformed and a 5 gallon bucket full of sand in the tent....smoking killed both my parents, I detest it, but after seeing how their addiction effected them,as neither could quit even when given the alternative, I am a little bit sympathetic....

A good run is better than a bad stand!
