I did Skoal for 26 years. I am not unsympathetic towards smokers. The difference is that most people didn't know when I had a dip in. Many I worked with didn't even know that I dipped. I wasn't one to have a massive pinch in and I didn't spit.

It was a disgusting hab it that only impacted myself.

Smoking is also a disgusting habit, so is vaping.

Aren't toxic? Put your lips on an exhaust pipe and see the dosage of carbon monoxide you'll get. Your vehicle fulfills a role for YOUR personal convenience, not mine! What a weak response

Personally I feel that a business should have the right to decide. Smoke free or smoking allowed. I grew up with chain smokers and hate the stench, but I also believe they have the right to choose.

OMG.
It's okay for you to spew yours here so why not? Fair is fair after all!

I just returned from Las Vegas a week ago. Nowhere did I smell smoke from people smoking marijuana. This is just a lame attempt to deflect from second hand smoke from tobacco, which by the way, was everywhere there.

Why is that? A vapor that disappears in seconds is nothing like smoke. Now I will agree those who look like steam trains chugging up a steep hill do look ridiculous but that vapor doesn't affect anyone but the user...

This is simply not true.
