I smoked for a lot of years, but I always avoided doing it in a restaurant. I figured that having a smoking section in a room was like having a peeing section in a pool.
I was a heavy smoker, but if I took a long plane flight, I would ask for no smoking. Couldn’t take plane smog. I could live for 7 hours without a smoke. I worked at a restaurant years before and would be outside throwing out some garbage when the A/C would exhaust. It was like a factory smokestack!!
Tobacco addiction is the final revenge and justification of the native Americans on the invading hordes that massacred their people and overran their lands.
I have never smoked, but the evidence of how hard it is to quit was apparent to me a few weeks ago. A customer pulled up to the drive through at the bank. Her passenger was smoking a cigarette while on oxygen! I really wanted to point out the obvious danger, but I am constrained by the rules. You can bet I got them out of there very quickly.

“America’s new concern with civility.” This really IS and old strip. The smokers are approaching extinction, too…

The air is so much cleaner now, except for the wildfires

If we see you smoking, we will assume you are on fire, and take appropriste action.

replaced by the smell of ol’ skunk weed everywhere. Quite tired of that too.

acutally I think miss manners would overlook this one(mainly cause she would probably do it herself)

A classic. I remember when this strip first came out. I cut it out and put on the refrigerator.

Not having a fire hose at the ready, your glass of water would do in a pinch.

If only…I once took my dinner to go because someone was smoking a cigar within smelling distance in a nice restaurant. I’ve never been back.
