I am pissed..... My disability has to do with breathing....
Advertisements [?]
Meaning I can't w/o the aide of Oxygen.....

With the Oxygen, I can live a fairly normal life, a life that let's me get around fairly easily and to enjoy what our great country has to offer....

But still, there are places I can not go....

Places that I could go, if only people were prohibited to smoke....

Smoking is a choice. My condition, BTW, has nothing to do with smoking. My condition was not....

So all of the venues where good live music here in Cleveland allow smoking....

That means I can not enjoy live music. Period.

Since I am unable, by my disability, from participating in something that people who are not disabled can enjoy, should smoking be prohibited in all public places to comply with the disabilities act...

I ask this because all of the venues I looked into had handicapped accessible rest rooms, parking spots and ramps....

And yet......

Am I being too picky because I want to enjoy live music? Is it too much to ask those who are smoking, because of a choice they have made, to refrain for an hour or two so those of use who can not tolerate smoking can enjoy live music as well????????
