WDW and smokers -- your vote needed

The idea of the smoking areas is that you have to go to that area to smoke. You're not supposed to smoke elsewhere.

Now there are 50 states in this country. Let's set aside say 5 states as "Smoking states." Anyone who wants to smoke has to go there to do it.

Which 5 states would you recommend?

Yeah, that will do it.

1) Texas. No one would ever be able to tell a Texan not to smoke anyway.
2) Nevada. Gambling, drinking and smoking are the holy trinity.
3) North Carolina because they grow the most tobacco.
4) Wyoming because hardly anyone is there anyway.
5) California because the tobacco smoke is no worse than the smog.

If you smoke today, you have to have a sense of humor and be willing to take it. I say that as someone who smoked for over 35 years.

I don't know if it is fair, but it is the way it is. It may actually do smokers a service. One of the main reasons I quit was that it was becoming too much of a hassle to smoke.

I loved smoking. If they discovered a way tomorrow that you could smoke without it being damaging to your health I would probably start again. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how it would be SOOOO nice to have a Kool Mild.

But I'm afraid that just isn't going to happen. I'm very glad I quit. I had a bad case of pneumonia last winter and I found out just how terrible it is when you have a hard time breathing.

If you can't breathe nothing else makes any difference.

Maybe when my Dad retires in 2 years then they will follow as he has mentioned that before. As a reformed smoker myself, I don't have any problems with people smoking just as long as they put their butt's where they belong and that the smoke does not blow in my face as I am allergic to cigarette smoke. People who smoke are only hurting themselves.

No offense meant fireguy, but your last post reminded me of the line from "All In The Family" when Meathead and Gloria were looking and looking for an apartment in NY and couldn't find one......Arcie tells them to look in Jersey, Meathead says I don;t want to live in Jersey, and Archie says " no one Wants to live in Jersey, but somebody has to !"

thought it was funny at the time...no offense meant
