Thread Name: BS: Smokers in the Workplace
Subject: RE: BS: Smokers in the Workplace
Oh well. Go breathe some motorway fumes. At work, I smoke OUTSIDE, 20' from the doorway. Can we now ban the whole outdoors? I'm sure someone would if they could


Has everyone forgotten Sir Walter? Perhaps the fact that the US gubmint in their stupidity actually subsidizes the tobacco industry? That the gubmints during WW 2 (possibly others, I don't know) almost forced their soldiers to smoke? Include them in rations, smoke em if you got em, pick em if you don't.

I don't 'like' the fact that I smoke, but I do. So be it. I do try to be 'respectful' about it, but when the Greenies try to picket the ONLY outdoor ashtray in a mile, and THEN moan about it, well, just don't ask what we said.

Look, once you are addicted, not only to the physical, but also the SOCIAL habit, it ain't that easy to quit. Besides, quitting is easy, it's not starting again that is difficult.

I'd rather talk to strangers.
