Smoking is banned in certain areas of Nevada, Measure 5 passed.  You will still be allowed to smoke in casinos and bars, but not where children are allowed (like the sports bars I think). but not in grocery stores and child care centers,etc. (my god, i had no idea that wasn't already law!!!)

It is not legal, however they don't make a big deal about it as long as your not up in every ones face. Now tobacco is another story; they plan to outright ban it inside and out.

I don't have a problem with smoking being banned in restaurants and cafes, but banning it from bars would be too extreme.  Considering that the majority of people I've seen in bars often smoke, might as well keep it legal there.

NO, smoking has been linked to lung cancer no matter what ammount you consume.

i think smoking should be banned completely. and im a smoker myself. it would just make it so much harder for ppl to do it in the first place because once you start its so hard to give it up.

I'm still not sure why smoking was banned in public places like restaurants and bars. Non smoker have had their non smoking areas with fans, wasn't that enough? I guess not. People just want to dictate what others do so they can get their way. If non a smokers right were seemingly violated they would and do get their way. How about smoker's rights?

I don't have much experience with Hooka Tabacy but having quit smoking I can say that NOTHING you smoke is good for you. Smoking anything can lead you back to cigarettes again. Stay away from it.

Smoking is not a good idea for anyone. Anybody who has a choice should avoid smoking. It is the most addictive thing in the world, and once you start, there isn't much choice.

At this point anyone who chooses to smoke is aware of what the results are, since the warnings are on the boxes. Is it their fault that people choose to smoke anyways? (Not my argument, theirs.)

no no no no, it's another scam.. you must use an alternative to smoking if you can't quit by will.. Get the gum first, shew as much as you want at the beginning so you don't crave cigs, give it time, you can't quit in a week or a month, use it for 3 months then alternate between nicotine gum and regular gum to phase the addiction out. this will rid of your psy addiction and then physical dependancy. It's cheeper to start with.

Hi, I live in Georgia and we are already "smoke free". We cant smoke in any public building. This means, as you said, restaurants, bars, etc. We aren't allowed to take a lit cigarette in grocery stores, laundry mats or any convient store. Also our work force here is the carpet industry, and most carpet mills run 24 hours, 7 days a week. Alot run swing shifts, which consist of working 12 hour shifts. Now even our mills are saying "no smoking" on their property, not even in your own vehicle. If observed doing this you will be terminated. And I'm not even really sure when the voting of these laws were. So I too, would like speak against this issue. I understand non-smokers have rights, but doesn't smokers have any rights at all?

No. There really is no such thing. And even IF there were (I'm being hypothetical here) it wouldn't be a very wise decision to smoke it, because it STILL is bad for you. You should quit altogether. You can do this in a few ways. Maybe you can find a new habit or hobby. Maybe you can get together with friends who want to kick the habbit. Also, you could see a doctor who should be able to prescribe something to help you overcome your nicotine cravings. You can chew nicotine gum or wear a patch. \n\nP/S: It is NOT true that smoking lights is safer than smoking normal cigarettes. Because: when you smoke lights, you tend to ihale deeper and besides, the fibres in the filter also sometimes gets into your lungs and can cause irritation and inflammation.

Who says that the first is ok? You have to be pretty disconnected these days to NOT already know that smoking is bad for you. Smokers know better than anybody what the disadvantages of smoking are. The preachiness they get handed on a near daily basis seems pretty damn ridiculous to me. \n\nI am not a smoker. I've never smoked a cigarrette and never plan to. Every smoker I know tells me to never pick one up - and you know what? Their arguements against smoking are far more convincing than non-smokers. \n\nFor those people who choose to smoke, as long as they smoke outside to prevent secondhand smoke problems, I've got no problem with their habit. They're adults and they've made an informed choice. It's not the choice many of us (including me) would have made, but they have the right to make it. \n\nSo far, society has not made it acceptable to directly harrass obese people in this way. Overweight and obese people ARE discriminated against and put under considerable emotional strain because of their weight - our society puts too much credence on how people look for it to be otherwise. As the epidemic of obesity continues, it may become more common to verbally harrass people who are overweight and obese.

Welcome to the world of us New Yorkers.  Puke-taki and Dumberg really FUBAR'D everything and killed the bars with the smoking ban.  We now go to indian reservations and Long Island, costing the city MILLIONS.  While NYC may be able to afford it, I doubt Ohio would.  Good Luck.\n\nTo those non-smokers who don't mind when their freedoms are curtailed, remember, tyranny always starts with the small stuff, and eventually moves on to the important things.  I'd been smoking since 12, and am now 28.  Quit for personal reasons (wife & kids).  Because I  no longer do it, should I not have the right to put into my body what I see fit?

I am not a smoker, but have no problem with people smoking in designated areas in restaurants, or public places like hospitals, malls, etc. I expect people to be smoking in bars, clubs and such. I know there are people that are on oxygen, allergic to smoke, have lung problems and the smoke increases their difficulty to breath. However, everyone has the right to do what they want to as long as it does not hurt someone else. I believe their is a common ground and solution without totally banning smoking and coming down so hard on people who choose to smoke.\n\nAs for taxation, the government has that go in' on....They tax the vices they know people won't quit....gambling, Alcohol,......that's the way it goes.

I am a smoker,but I don't mind the bans.I smoke outside at home because of my kids,and I did it most of the time even before I had kids.I don't like to smell smoke when I'm not smoking.However,I think banning smoking in bars is just crazy.I mean,drinking and smoking just go together,and if you don't want to be around the smoke,you can always stay home or go to a restaurant.Same with casinos.
