Total ban on smoking? Yes or no

[S10Catman]

make that 3 romps in the hay with my DW and BTW I know about farms .You put a blanket over the straw

:cj

 

 

Bragging or complaining!? Now I see why you don't smoke, it'd catch the hay on fire afterwards!:p Sorry couldn't help myself! This really has nothing to do with smoking/no-smoking so have a good time hijacking the thread!

so you are admitting that smoking causes fires?

One solution to the issue. Create a smoking lounge on each deck (or every other deck) just like airports have.

 

Unfornutately for me and other non-smokers, this will never happen. Space is too much at a premium on a cruise ship. That's why we sleep in cabins smaller than some home's bathrooms. :D

[Jimnbigd]

but a smoker is more likely to partake in those behaviors.The non-smoker is more likely to partake in a healthy lifestyle of eating healthy and exercising regularly including walking and riding bikes,and using less perfume.

:cj

 

Healthy lifestyle? Gosh, you've never met me! :D

[annpharm]

No...and I am a nonsmoker...I said it before and will agian if they ban smoking because it bothers people then can they ban Kids because they bother me?

 

last time I checked second hand kids don't cause cancer, just sayin';)

[DPHStAug]

In any enclosed, indoor lounge/ bar/ casino/ whatever -YES

In designated on deck, outdoor areas- NO

Same rules that apply in the real world (in most states in the US- you go outside to smoke).

[S10Catman]

so you are admitting that smoking causes fires?

 

Smoking doesn't cause fires, careless smokers causes fires. Just like careless non-smokers cause fires when they play with matches!:D

What's a second-hand kid? :o

Well if there are current smokers reading this thread who are looking for a sign, here it is!

 

You can quit, you can do it! I have posted an earlier link, but google anything you can find and make it your job to stop today.

 

Nicotine is extremely addictive and I feel for those who cannot give up such an expensive and unfortunate addiction. If one person even tries to give up smoking it is worth reading all the nonsense spewed by posters like the Catman, who are trying to set back health care views by about 50 years.

 

I realize smokers get funny about their rights because like anyone with a true addiction, it is multifaceted and not a simple thing to face losing. The prospect is truly scary.

 

So don't delay, quit today!!:):):)

[mkolbicka]

Yes

I liked how RCI did it on my Mariner cruise recently. There are no-smoking bars and smoking bars. Smoking is allowed in the casino but there were at least 2 no-smoking nights. I enjoyed a cigar at the conniseurs club one night and a non-smoking environment otherwise.

I agree but with the more radical non-smokers this is not acceptable because they can't go into the smoking area without being innudated with smoke! WOOOOWWWW!:rolleyes:

Not worried.Cruise ships will never be banned,but IMHO smoking retrictions will continue to increase

just add balconies to the no smoking zone and their policy would be acceptable

True. It's been fun bantering with you Capt Jake, but I have to leave for awhile. I have to earn some money to pay for health care and all those other socialist programs for the lame, lazy, and crazy!:rolleyes::D

Ouch, I just had to go there.

To you and many other non-smokers, nut not to us smokers. If done in a considerate manner, smoking on a balcony should not be an issue. There are ways to do it without affecting neighbors. And smokers should have the same right to enjoy their cruises as non-smokers as long as they follow the rules of the cruise ship.

The problem is I have to breath you smoke too.

 

All the rest only herts the gambler/old person/fat person.

 

Your smoke makes my clothes smell bad.

 

Your smoke does not allow me access to areas of the ship.

 

Your smoke affects my cruise, the rest does not.

 

Sorry but post like yours makes me very angry.

[MMCS Cruiser]

WHO's he another socialist parrot from the UN? Like they don't make reports match their desired agenda. Fuzzy logic is not scientific proof. Just because you repeat something a million times doesn't make it true!!!:D

 

Wow, you don't really believe all that stuff?

 

If smoking is so good for you why not let your kids smoke too.

 

Start them young, that's what I say.:mad:

All this back and forth between two particular posters has reminded me of an old TV show. This one can be called Jake and the Catman - :D
