Arkansas smokers...
are you ready for the new "ban" that is taking place later on this month?

1. Yep...
Doesn't bother me much -- bars and grills that only serve to the 21+ crowd will still be allowed to have us smokers around. I'm right on the border in Texarkana and the Texas side has already had a similar smoking ban for the last year, so I'm used it and being unable to smoke at restaurants doesn't faze me at all. All in all, not too draconian a law from my vantage point.

2. I'm glad smoking is banned
Edited on Mon Aug-14-06 08:01 PM by Dont_Bogart_the_Pret
Think about this,
If I'm addicted to beer, I can't drink at work.

If I'm a smoker, I can smoke at work any time.






EDIT:
yea I'm glad of the ban. Waco did it some time back, and I don't get out much in Texarkana (just work) I hadn't noticed.

3. I LOVE IT!
I can actually go out to eat and not get sick because I had to walk by the smoking section on the way to my table.

4. Don't smoke, and I'm torn
I like that my hair doesn't stink when I go out to eat/drink (you can go to the Loony Bin in LR, and leave without an ungodly stench)

At the same time I believe it's too restrictive.

/sigh

No easy answer it seems.
