Thread Name: Should our folk club be non smoking?
Subject: RE: Should our folk club be non smoking?
Greg S...

well said chum!

Now... -I'm- a smoker... But maybe it's that I'm not an addict... (You CAN smoke and not be addicted... anyone who says differently is full of it!) cause I can go places and do things and NOT smoke... and be quite happy about it... To me it's a matter of choice... when and where I smoke... I guess it's not like that for every one... and for those who are 'compelled' I feel sorry...

But as Greg said... the non-puffers are winning... the pendulum has swung to thier side, and it's gonna go further before it comes back... so smokers... be ready...

And I gotta ask again... do you go out to the club to play music or to smoke???

The only place it bugs me is when I drive past a 'legion hall'... these are all non-smoking around here now, and it breaks the heart... to see the clusters of sad looking little old dudes who fought and killed and died and suffered to keep this country free, huddled around like sheep, with thier backs to the wind, having to smoke outside in the dead of winter... Please... let these dudes, who have served above and beyond enjoy a ciggie and a half draft in the warm......

Does it really matter that much?

Sorry... that's way off topic....
