TODAY the non-smoking ban.....
| Tue, 07-01-2003 - 3:14pm |
Goes in to effect in Florida.But someone has to actually complain about it for it to work..and most people smoke at The Pub or just dont care.There is a 500.$$ fine for the 1st offense. Also if someone complains about someone smoking--the manager has to ask the smoker to put it out--if they fail to comply we have to call the cops!!Well-thats what the law says anyhow..I think the police need to be doing more important things than THAT.. I cant wait to see how all of this un-folds over the next few months..It will be interesting..mel

Will indeed be interesting to see how it turns out Mel. The no smoking ban in restaurants and public places here happened without a hitch. However, everyone who smokes just heads across the state line to restaurants friendlier to smokers.
Let's hope your work atmosphere gets a lot healthier for you. :)

It is a great idea in theory for sure Mel ..
Will be very interesting to see how it all plays out ..
Keep us posted, ok :)

In PA every restaurant has a smoking and non-smoking section and most have put in good ventilation systemsand I believe that is the best answer!!
Some day I'll quit but until then I do not eat or drink where I cannot smoke.(Sorry Hugs.Golly.and all of you who are braver/smarter than I).
**It's quite all right Barb ..
When you are ready .. believe me we all understand perfectly!
We'll be here for you then too
Hope your day is a good one :)
~Hugs~

Barb, don't know if you'll see this or not, but gosh, don't ever feel like you have to apologize for smoking...with us here. JMHO, of course I SWORE if I made this quit stick, I would NEVER be one of those yucky 'reformed' smokers.
If I was as spry and had the energy you have, I'd still be smoking, too. :::Running away from Hugs & Golly VERY quickly::: You are truly amazing me even MORE by your ability to go 'cross-country' every week....staying up for 23 hrs at a time....working long hrs.
We're all about getting fit n healthy here, and I think your months on the board, at home working in your garden, hopefully helped get you in better shape for this assignment.
I think all of us who are still coping with Nicodemon will agree that you are one VERY smart, brave lady who we admire greatly.
Hugs & Happy Fourth! Stella

Hi Barb,
> Hon, you don't have to explain to any of us who have/are fighting nicodemon. We sure understand. My dh still smokes. Just know there's lots of help and support when you're ready. :)
