Excuse me Twingles, if you don't like polluted air you don't have to breath it. Let's be serious for once. You get more pollution, radioactive isotopes, TB germs, and God knows what else just by using the NYC Subway system or the Long Island Expressway. By the way how do I know if your anti-persperent will cause alzhimers or your perfume will touch off a breathing spasm in others? I really don't smoke anymore but I think tonight in honor of this totally vapid and Long Island Eliteist thread I will light up one of my old pipes. Enjoy that smoke!
I'm sure your tinfoil hat will protect me from your pipe smoke. Just as it protects you from all those things you fear.
Yeah - the best was when movie theatres, planes, etc started making smokers sit in the back. Yeah, that helped!
I haven't been on a plane where it was allowed since I quit...not sure when they stopped allowing it. But I can't imagine being in such a small area with all that smoke. Add in the risk of fire, and nowadays, terrorism (try getting a lighter on a plane)...it amazes me it ever was allowed
As a matter of fact. Cars there days really don't have ashtrays. At least ashtrays you can use. Years ago on cars of the 50's, 60's and 70's when smoking was much more accepted most cars had 2 in the front and 2 in the back.(and 4 lighters) they were big enough for cigars never mind ciggerettes. If you didnt smoke back then they were used for toll change. I don't approve of littering but try and find free standing ashtrays in a NY parking lot or outside of an office building today. remember when you were a kid and card shops, movie theaters and such had metal ashtrays in the lobby and by the door. Well people can't congreate and smoke anymore without the dissaproving looks of people who don't believe in smoking. The same people who don't mind breathing the air in the subway or the sent of pot at a concert, but heaven forbid they be exposed to second hand smoke.
I'm sorry but this isn't an excuse, just like how it's not an excuse for me to dump my illegal Big Gulp on the streets of NYC because there isn't a garbage can within arm's reach awaiting my deposit of sugary diabeetus goodness.
Is this legal ? seems every smoker on LI thinks it's an entitlement
No, its not legal, it's littering. Littering on LI is easily the most under-ticketed offense. I see car drivers all of the time throw gum wrappers, cigarette butts and food out of their car windows. How can someone be so bold to think the garbage they have just created should be tossed out of their car. I tell all my kids that someone who litters will have no respect for you.
I remember people smoking in the dentist, doctor's offices and even in hospitals.
I can still remember going to the GP just down the road from where I grew up (I guess I was a little older and past the pediatrician stage) and him walking into the exam room with his white coat with a pack of cigarettes in the top pocket!
