Too many people agree or say nothing.<BR/><BR/>I am not so sure that we are in total disagreement. <BR/><BR/>As a sports fan, I miss the opportunities to have fellowship at games in sportsbars. I still go sometimes, but it isn't an easy sell to me. Sometimes I am just plain miserable. There are no nonsmoking sports bars around so I am either forced to stay home, or forced to breathe second-hand smoke.<BR/><BR/>Where do you think the line should be drawn?Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060441484392165488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-1155997254599135122006-08-19T09:20:00.000-05:002006-08-19T09:20:00.000-05:00As smokers of long standing, we would like to make...As smokers of long standing, we would like to make a couple of points:<BR/>Although we smoke, we do not miss the days when the floors of grocery stores and theaters,the sands of public beaches and the verges of every road were decorated with countless numbers of cigarette butts. The freedom to smoke should not have included the freedom to litter.<BR/>We haven't seen any theaters close due to lack of business, but we no longer attend theaters because we prefer to smoke during films, and we are long past the days when we just had to see the latest hit first.<BR/>If a business wishes to cater to smokers, and smokers are willing to patronize such a business (and I can assure you that we would so do), we think that it should be allowed. As you say, non-smokers would know what they were in for if they wished to be patrons, and there are plenty of establishments that cater to non-smokers.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>Bonnie and Walt<BR/>;) :-)Bon & Mal Motthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487101987161780444noreply@blogger.com
