Well, I've yet to see drinking make the person next to you sick, maybe dead in the car next to you but not sick If there is a time when a person having a drink makes the people around them ill then maybe it will be time to make drinking illegal. Yes, I know,I know the rights of a smoker count too, and here is one more instance of the evil government restricting freedom. I used to feel that way and resented being told where I could smoke until I had a child and my wife became allergic to the point of severe migraines. Now I guess I care about more than just me.
What does tilt my windmill is the people that walk by you and fake coughs and choking even when you are doing your best to stay out of the way.

I'm over here in Newport now on vacation and went to Ruby Tuesdays for dinner last night. I was quite suprised when they asked for smoking or no smoking section. I haven't heard that question asked to me in so long.

I was just up in TN and could not belive how many people smoke there. I live in FL and we have had non smoking in restautrants for a few years now. It seems that alot of people down here have quit which is nice. I will also be moving to Tn in about 5 years. . |

Yay! This is the one thing that I've missed about where I'm from in Indiana....which had banned smoking in all public places (indoor and yes, some outdoor).
