Which raises a few questions for all the Dear Readers -
Do you smoke?
Have you quit?
What do you think of smoking being banned?
I smoke one cigarette a year. If that. It's just something I do, and I usually do it to "shock" someone (who knows I don't smoke). -And I don't inhale.
I appreciate the smoking ban, however, I wish the law about not smoking within a certain amount of feet of a building's doorway would be enforced. Some of the office buildings here in NYC actually have markers and signs telling people not to smoke "here". But there's always people smoking "here".
In Virginia, smoking is still allowed inside more buildings , and, frankly, with the strength of the tobacco lobby, I seriously doubt it will ever get banned in VA. -Although, some localities have their own bans in certain public spaces. However, I appreciate the trend that some restauranteurs are starting to ban cigar and cigarette smoking in their dining rooms. A side of smoke is never a good thing. And I'm totally baffled by people I see with a forkful of food in one hand, and a cigarette in the other. YUCK!
