| I'm all for smoke free environments, but to take away outdoor smoking shelters... What harm is there in having them... Course by not having them may help me quit quicker, but still... |

you, and the Ontario government.
Sure it was fair that they banned smoking in bars/clubs/casinos but banning smoking in outdoor enclosed patios is just ridiculous.
I rarely smoke, and when I do, there is no ing way I am going out into the FREEZING cold of Toronto winters to have a cigarette. And don't give me this "don't smoke a cigarette then" bull, because the rare time I want to have a smoke, I'm going to, and I should be able to do so without freezing my ass off.
Sure the previous anti smoking legislation was justified because in the past non smokers were being forced to inhale smoke, but this new legislation is purely "for our own good". Give me one good reason why enclosed outdoor smoking patios is a bad idea.
If this legislation gets passed, I guess I am just going to just have to be one of those s who smoke inside bars/clubs. I don't really give a if it bothers you. If it does, blame the government who implemented this stupid legislation, not the very casual smoker who doesn't want to freeze his ass off in -40 degree weather. :whip: :whip: :whip: |

I've said this before...I'll say it again :)
Smoking and pot will eventually be on the same level, except for explicit legality. Smoking will never be made 100% illegal, just as pot will never be made 100% legal. I forsee them both eventually meeting at the point where they are both tolerated in personal space alone...
regardless of what politicians have said, this trend has been forshawdowed for a long time...and so it shouldn't be a surprise.
the only bit of sympathy I have is for the business owners who may have been mislead into believing that smoking rooms would somehow be permanently permissible. |

i don't think it works because the consequences of being caught as a violator don't seem to be that serious ..
