<p>you get that from barbeque as well should we ban that at parties?</p>

<p>difference in production rate is the key, stop being illiterate</p>
<p>A smoker saying “if you don’t like the idea of second-hand smoke, leave the premises” would be the same as a drunk driver saying “if you don’t like the idea of being hit and die, don’t leave home on weekend’s nights”.</p>
<p>Both are morally unjustified behaviors (counterexample: driving a vehicle in any mean will put other at risk, but that’s for exercising fundamental right of movement) that would impose an otherwhise unfair hurdle over those who, while engaging in public life, do not have the obligation to intake dirty smoke.</p>
<p>Have you ever visited a country in whose clubs and pubs smoke is still allowed and unchecked? It’s completely disgusting. You cannot go out with a girl do a big disco without the perspective of coming back smelling like sewage. Impossible to distinguish cigarrete smoke from dry-ice. Your contact lenses hurt, your nose hurts.</p>
<p>My parents used to say how nasty and smelly offices were back in the 1970’s. Both are lifetime non-smokers (as are 4 living grandparents and 8 out of 9 uncles), but had to “suck it up” when the smokers in their workplaces smoked everywhere. Should they… had quit their jobs?</p>
<p>Fast food, on the other side, is not something that in principle will put others who are in the vicinity into immediate danger. It is somewhat dangerous to you to over-eat, but the guy who sits next to you won’t get fat and vein-clogged because you eat a Super Max BBQ with extra bacon then stops for a Vanilla Bean and Muffins everyday.</p>
<p>Working in a place where you are forced to be around smokers is a far cry from having people smoke at a PARTY that isn’t even yours.</p>
<p>So? There needs to be a movement to boycott smokers from parties. (Not to mention their general worthlessness to the scene, anyway.)</p>
<p>We should have the Million Man Non-Smokers March. Kicking out smokers is srs bsns.</p>
<p>I don’t think smokers should be banned from parties unless there is a house that other people (besides the host) have to live in and are bothered by the smoke. It is their place too. If everyone in the house/place/whatever agrees to allow smoking, then nonsmokers can leave if the smoke is bothering them. (Would I prefer the smokers leave to light up? Absolutely, but it is not my party and I am free to leave and find another if I wish.)</p>
<p>However, I hate when people smoke in really crowded places, where it is very difficult to leave. Like today, I was at a place for my university where you go and look at clubs and all that. There was probably about 15,000 people packed on to a field (there’s about 40,000+ at my U) and people were smoking as we were crammed together, underneath tents, trying to look at rows of clubs. It was bad because people like me couldn’t breath because we have bad asthma that is triggered by tobacco smoke. That is just unfair. I shouldn’t be denied a chance to see what my U has to offer just because you can’t resist the urge to light up for 10 minutes until you get out of the tent. Just have some respect for others, would ya?</p>
<p>srose9173, you seem to be the one who feels the need to prove yourself to people who think smoking is disgusting and getting riled up. Your posts seem to say “I don’t care what you think! But, uh, everyone I know smokes! And they don’t care that I smoke! I’m not gross!” If you don’t care, why are you defending yourself?</p>
<p>I personally don’t care if people smoke, but I think it’s rude to think other people should have to breathe in smoke from your cigarettes or inconvenience themselves because you have an addiction. </p>
<p>Seriously, why should workers have to breathe in smoke from your cigarettes?</p>
