Smoking is banned just about everywhere i.e. bars, clubs, restaurants even in the malls. So when you get home you would expect to be able to smoke. HA! not if your landlord is a non smoker...
We signed a no-smoking agreement basically to have somewhere to live but smoked anyway (plenty of those ambi-pure air freshners around the place) Even my non-smoking landlord couldn't tell we smoked when he came round and he did call around allot!
So I'm thinking to myself it's not the smoking thats the problem, it's the attitude that people give out when they smell smoke or see someone smoking.
I'm sure if my landlord saw me smoke he'd have thrown me out, same if he smelled it when he called round, but even though were smoking(1 1/2 packs a day back then) because he couldn't smell it there was no problem.
They've just banned smoking in my local mall (Yes Nick you were right) and I can only smoke in certain areas like coffee shop smoking tables. I was sitting in my local fix area the other day drinking coffee and smoking away and I thought it was so clever how my smoke knew not to go past the no smoking sign. Very clever indeed!
Anyway Forest you ex-smokers are the worst, I know my dad is one! :P

This looks like the perfect spot to ask - why isn't smoking cigars considered "smoking"?
Forest anytime I see a pic of you, you've got a cigar. My Dad is the same way, only he smokes the cigarillos (they have less girth).
To me, it's still smoking but it seems like it isn't to a lot of people. I don't understand why?
And I concur - major congrats on kicking the cigarette habit!

I really hate sitting at a red light and the person in the car next to you is smoking. Yuck. And I've had neighbors who smoke which is slightly annoying but luckily not close enough to blow in my windows.
The worst is people who throw their dirty fucking cigarette butts all over. That drives me fucking nuts. Dirty irresponsible smokers who smell bad and toss their trash all over have problems.
Even my friends who smoke don't like to stink like cigarettes all the time. But some people are fucking bad with that shit.

Yeah I have to admit I don't miss coming home from a club or bar when smoking was allowed and smelling bad.
Its more fun to go outside and smoke anyhow. I don't smoke but will exit a bar with friends who do.
There are only 40 smoking rooms at the Hyatt Regency Islandia In San Diego. So if you smoke, you had best be one of the early ones when room reservations open up.
Of course, the rooms all have balconies or open corridors, to smoke outside the rooms.

A big congratulations to you for quitting as well
But I think nothing smells worse than a non-smoker all soap smelling and fresh as a summers breaze lol
California is always thought of as the laid-back cool place to hang... until you start seeing how things REALLY are. I'm just waiting for Ah-nold to outlaw Twinkies & sodas and put Gatorade & Nutribar vending machines @ the schools. lol
The no-smoking thing in California is bullshit and it's getting way out of hand. What's next?
I'm not a smoker... never have been... never will. I lived with smokers my whole life until 96 when hubby quit one day out of the blue after his 32 year-old brother suffered his 1st heart attack. He still dips the occassional Copenhagen, but things are really different. No smoke smell - decrease in ALL of our allergies... it's been nice. Can't wait until he gives it all up 100%.

ME!
my mother smoked all the way thru and look how i turned out
Hahahaha
Toni's been clean since we found out we were with child, but with the hormones (I should say moans lol) I've had to light up again to keep a grip... I never realised how I relate certain things with smoking, things like after eating, after relations, while drinking, before breathing and so on...
Ya the CA smoking ban is BS in CA. I had a friend that just bought a bar in OC. Then the smoking ban went into effect at bars. Now booze and cigs just go together like a slice of cheese on your apple pie.
But it is the smokers fualt that, that happened, so they can't bitch about it. I am a smoker myself, and when voting day came I was there voting against it ban in bars. But is still passed in a land slide.
Also you can thank "MEAT HEAD" Rob Reiner for getting the tax on cigs so damn high that people quit. With his amendment to help children. I don't know what it is called, but his program raises funds with the cig tax to help children in their early years. If I remember what I read his program helps the children learn and love in their early years. his study states that a child will learn and abtain all their knowlage it at an early age.
Dont get me wrong its a great program, but it would only be fair to put a tax on something everyone uses. Indstead of just attacing the somkers. Put a 1 cent tax on every gallen of gas and use that money for your program Rob "MEAT HEAD" Reiner.
Also dont get me wrong smoking is unhealthy, but shouldn't it be the person to decide what is good and bad for that person.
I saw on the news that some state on the east. if your neighbors smoke came through your window, your neighbor would be fined/cited.
I don't live in CA any longer haven't for 2 years, not for the reason of the cigerette ban. I was born and raised in CA and lived there for 34 years. I can remember going to the grocery store with my mom when I was 5 or 6 and I can remember she smoked in the isles of the store, along with the many other people doing the same thing.
