It is silly to hate people you do not even know for their <I>habit</I><BR/>I stopped smoking 3 months ago. I think the ban in indoor public places is good. I didn't like having other people's smoke in my face even when I smoked.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247084030899971480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054969076252018790.post-25282543867169657462008-10-07T16:58:00.000+05:302008-10-07T16:58:00.000+05:30i hate smokers...but njoyd ur post!!:-)i hate smokers...<BR/>but njoyd ur post!!<BR/>:-)scarlett thunder..https://www.blogger.com/profile/03774857320538381704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054969076252018790.post-24879104002493939542008-10-07T15:11:00.000+05:302008-10-07T15:11:00.000+05:30hi sweetheart! well...my pick from the given choic...hi sweetheart! well...my pick from the given choices & even otherwise is...you know it right? i know that the ban comes like a blow to all you bloody chimneys...but i support it full-on!

What sense does it make to ban smoking in designated smoking zones at workplaces? What sense does it make to ban smoking in restaurants which already have smoking and non-smoking zones demarcated? Pray tell me, how dos it make any sense to come out en-masse on to the street and have a fag, since its banned in offices, restaurants etc? The other day I went to Xtreme Sports Bar, and on reaching that palce I see this huge crowd outside, and I thought that no way will be able to get a table here tonight. But on going in, I found out that everyone and come out for a smoke and the place was empty inside. Ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Smoking is banned in a public place, and the place is a public place if there are more than 2 people standing there. This si what the definition is, really. Apparently, if you are on a street and are alone, you can have a smoke. But if you have 2 more people standing with you, its a public place, and you will be fined for smoking. But what if there are 10 people standing and smoking and no non-smokers around? Will they all be fined? Because they are more than 3 and hence it has noe become a public place? Ok, what if there are 10 smokers smoking away to glory and one non-smoker standing around? Will the smokers be fined? Isn't it the duty of the non-smoker to move? Or just because he is a non-smoker (poor inconvenienced soul) all the other 10 should stub it out?<BR/><BR/>I am not against the ban on smoking. I am against the gross stupidity and blind-stubborness on the part of the govt. Ramadoss is a dip***t who has no idea how to do what. Last year it was something else, this year it is this ban and next year it will be something else. It really seems like he is someone suffering from an acute case of ADD and pulls these stunts to attract attention. <BR/><BR/>Besides, for all our cry of being a democracy, we keep doing some random dictatorial acts which makes absolutely no sense. The other day someone said that If he is so worried abt smoking screwing up pur health, why doesnt he go ahead and ban colas as well. PLEASE DO NOT give him ideas!!! He probably might just do that.<BR/><BR/>Ban smoking if you want, but do it in a systematic manner and not do it in such an ad-hoc manner as to come up with an idea that you probably thought up while smoking a ciggie on your pot.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I am not a smoker myself, but it's this very stupid laws which rattle me no end because of the slow poisonous sign of killing my freedom.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356398754629496077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054969076252018790.post-29491895733720617022008-10-03T21:45:00.000+05:302008-10-03T21:45:00.000+05:30Good i got to Honk Kong before this ban....

Not very pleasant. I dont know whether you are a smoker or not, buti do know that smokers are a serious public nuisance.<BR/> <BR/>I dont object to people smoking (as filthy as the habit may be). But i do object to being subjected to it passively. If you want to smoke, do it without bothering others around you. <BR/><BR/>Why is it so difficult to accept? The same people who are objecting to this ban at the top of their (smoke riddled) lungs, are the ones who will go to the UK or the US and follow their rules of non-smoking in public places. <BR/><BR/>As Indians we take some insane misplaced pride in flouting or objecting to all laws and rules enforced (from wearing seat belts to now non-smoking. The same is happening here. <BR/><BR/>All that the ban is attempting to do is make smoking less of a public nuisance. Those who want to smoke will do it irrespective. Atleast the ban will ensure they arent troubling others with their habit. Why is it so difficult to be considerate?Avantika A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17691728281344226888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054969076252018790.post-44352068941095552392008-10-01T19:27:00.000+05:302008-10-01T19:27:00.000+05:30Dude... this is among one of the best posts i have...Dude... this is among one of the best posts i have read in some time...<BR/>Kudos my man.. kudos....Neohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635669686138896054noreply@blogger.com
