haha, this is too funny. If smokers want to smoke outside on the patio, then fine, do it! Just as long as they arent smoking inside, im happy.

If they wanna battle the cold of winter for their habits, then so be it.

on the other hand, i hate walking out of office buildings or bars/clubs and being hit by a wall of smoke. But, im not going to complain. the smoke is outside where it will diffuse into the atmoshphere and not my lungs.

but they are banning smoking outside if this happens. Its not funny. Tell me, someone who makes their living in the entertainment industry that this is funny. I'm not laughing. The true effects of this law will now be felt with winter fast approaching and now they want to make it even more difficult.

I wont be laughing when i dont have a job

I'm currently enjoying the smoking ban very much, thank you.

well u wont be when there are no clientele to play to

Yeah, I hate walking down the street and breathing in those diesel fumes from the TTC buses going by.

exactly... and the same people that bitch about tobacco smoke are usually the first ones to admit their chronic weed habit..

This article isn't really even worth posting. Someone said that if bars are going around the bylaw on their patios, then the city will step in. So what?

The whole idea of the bylaw is to protect patrons and staff from second hand smoke. If a patio is 75% closed shut, then it's essentially creating an indoor environment where smoking is banned.

It's really not that difficult to see the logic here.

aaaah well u see here is the logic... if you dont like smoke, DONT GO TO THAT SECTION!

Simple...

These weasels are going to try and use this as a way to ban smoking on all outdoor patios... he even said it himself

this argument has been done over and over again.
your right to smoke does not triumph my right to clean air in a confined, indoor environment. end of story

we are talking about the outdoors now thank you very much

I second that!!! I absolutely hated getting back home after a night of clubbing reeking of smoke. I find that people still smoke indoors in large venues like the Guv., but its not nearly as prevalent as it used to be in the past.
