Somking should be illegal in restaurant?

Question

smoking is good thing for retaurant

Answer 1

It is illegal in restaurants.

Answer 2

Are you suggesting that allowing addicts to indulge in their addiction...while endangering innocent people who are smart enough NOT to be addicts is a good thing?

I know I've said this before here but......

The 1964 and the subsequent 1988 Surgeon General's reports BOTH stated quite clearly that nicotine and heroin are EQUAL in their addictive strength. To put it simply...IF YOU SMOKE TOBACCO...YOU'RE A NICOTINE ADDICT!!!

Second-hand smoke harms people's lungs. Research....extensive research...has proven beyond a doubt that carcinogens present in tobacco smoke remain in the air for literally hours. A fan...or air conditioner...even generic "air filters"....just MOVE AROUND the air...but DO NOT remove the carcinogens. You'd have to install an air purification system costing a quarter of a million dollars to get the job done sufficiently.

The government perpetuates the euphemism 'smoker' because they don't want anyone to recognize..or realize...the fact they're addicts. The government wants you to look at the guy with a needle in his arm...or the fellow with a crack pipe and say to yourself "What a lowlife addict!"   BUT...they want the nicotine addict to view himself as a 'smoker'...because he's indulging in a government sanctioned addiction.

SO MUCH MONEY is made every day via taxes and through a myriad of businesses connected with the tobacco industry. It's a  huge octopus with a few hundred arms...which contribute to the government coffers largely.

If someone has an addiction...he/she is obligated to indulge in that addiction in the privacy of his or her own home. There are NO LAWS protecting the 'rights' of addicts...and there shouldn't be.

Answer 3

i think we should just have smoking places for smoking and places were non are alowed to smoke-- some ppl get like really sick

Answer 4

smoking is illegal anywhere indoors except for homes where I live.

Best law ever passed. Now I can breathe normally when I go out.

Answer 5

The smell of it makes the food taste bad and different.

Answer 6

Good spelling should be good for a question too.

Answer 7

is smoking really a good thing for a restaurant?...I don't think so - many people gain weight when they quit smoking, imo, b/c smoking kills your appetite - you get in the habit of replacing food with nicotine - I think it should be illegal b/c of the effects of second-hand smoke - if I choose not to be a smoker, I shouldn't have to become one involuntarily just because the guy in the next table is puffing on a cig

Answer 8

While it has become taboo for most places, I actually think that if people WANT to do so, there should be places where they can.

The government needs to stop regulating so much of people's lives.

I believe every restaurant (or bar, etc.) shold be allowed to regulate themselves...and the potential patrons can make up their own minds about whether or not they want to be there.

Let the public (and the revenue) ultimately decide what will the standard will be for any given location/business.  

After all, they ARE businesses.

Answer 9

You go to a restaurant to EAT not to smoke. Smoking sections don't make a difference at all. The cigarette smoke doesn't know that it needs to all of a sudden stop at the invisible line dividing the sections. Not only the smoker is smoking, but everyone around the smoker is smoking because they are inhaling the smoke.

Answer 10

I agree with you & LL's comment.... I am fed UP with the smoke n***s in America. Enough is enough, already.... get real problems you whiny little grannies.

You don't like smokers in restaurants? Don't go then. It's a FREE country, idiots.

******* n***s.

Answer 11

You're right. They should stick with the smoking and non-smoking sections.

Answer 12

Smoking is illegal in most indoor locations becasue the smoke gets into lungs of people other then the smoker. Smoking sections don't really work because the smoke still moves though the air toward the nonsmokers.
