Re: [VFB] Need some suggestions

Tony, i'm sure it is offensive to a lot of people. Guess that's why you 
can't smoke almost anywhere anymore. The new rules just went into effect in 
July even in upstate N.Y., not just the city. Gonna be a shame watching all 
the fiends have to go out in the wind and snow pretty soon, when they're in 
a bar drinkin'. I eat out most nights, and i can go there for hours and 
never smoke, then when i get home i'll have one. But these poor folks are so 
hooked they're runnin' outside every ten minutes. I can tye at a show 
allllllll day and never have one til after diner. Seems a shame some people 
just have to have something in their mouth all the time. I think it's just a 
lack of self control. A pack last me all week, yet i see these people come 
in the bar/resturant with two packs. Anyway, didn't mean to be harsh, just 
struck me as funny. But i guess sensitivity isn't a laughing matter. mark

I was going to stay out of this but if you don't smoke or a X smoker, you 
can't
believe how sensitive you are to the smell. I can get out in a parking lot 
with
not another person around and smell the smoke. I can smell it if I have the 
A/C
on in the car and the car in front of me has a person smoking in it.
I was given a big box of tying materials about a year ago. I had to throw 
it out
because it smelled real strong of smoke.
I am a X smoker and have not smoked a cigarette in over 50 years. Believe 
me, I
can smell it a mile away.
This is not intended to step on any toes, just to make you aware that we 
can
smell it.
