sfcsu Posted November 20, 2007 #76 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I personally would prefer a completely non-smoking ship. I would cruise a lot more if that were the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hootsie Posted November 20, 2007 #77 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I personally would prefer a completely non-smoking ship. I would cruise a lot more if that were the case. Our first cruise was on the Carnival Paradise when it was still 100% non smoking. It was the best vacation we've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Texed Posted November 20, 2007 #78 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have a feeling this thread is fixing to be " up in smoke"! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew B Posted November 20, 2007 #79 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I don't think the smell of meat will hurt you. LOL. Then again, I could be wrong but I am an RN. I will not argue with you about that. I actually generally like the smell of meat. It's the appearance that I can find troubling. :o Even so, it won't hurt me. I use it as a counter to the "smoking is yucky" argument, not to the "smoking will kill you" argument... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usha Posted November 20, 2007 #80 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Ohhhhhh, but, Drew, smoking is yucky, and it'll kill ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted November 20, 2007 #81 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I simply don't believe that there has ever been, in the history of the world, an individual who has had only limited exposure to cigarette smoke for a couple of weeks a year and who has died as a result. Drew, check out this link: http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/secondhandsmoke/factsheets/factsheet6.html It is a report from the Surgeron General; pay attention to #5. Even a single exposure (it does not have to be weeks, but just one time) has an impact that increases risk of heart attack. Elderly and people who already have heart conditions are certainly at risk to potentially have a heart attack triggered by a single exposure to second hand smoke.

Captain Jake Posted November 20, 2007 #82 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Do you know that having a pet (I love, love mine) contaminates air in the home? Do non-smokers own pets? When one views insurance costs, yes, smokers are costing you and I money, as does obesity, this effects my cost for insurance as well, alcohol is one of the leading cause of death on the highways, sure, one is not driving on a ship...watch out when they disembark! Behavior is effected as well. The contaminates in air are plentiful while crusing...will I give up the opportunity to sail...NO. Should we ban pets, alcohol, food, cruising, cars, trains, airplanes, coal producing fuel, and on and on? Well, I do not think so, unless some genius comes up with alternatives. Again, I said I am a considerate person. My DH is a non-smoker...we have been married now for many, many years...we are in our seventies. It is his choice to stay married to me (smoker or not) and we love each other beyond any way to express it. I do not aplogize for smoking, however, I do understand that it bothers some folks...and I go out of my way to be considerate of these people. Yes, Drew, I agree with you. Actually I do not know where all of this is going. I truly hope a happy medium can be had for all. Happy Thanksgiving to all! (Okay, no turkey for you Drew :D ) Happynewbie oh Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez.Now pets are as bad as smoking.We are really reaching now.Pets have been shown to increase lifespan.Not decrease it .I hope you don't smoke around that animal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norcal Cruiser Posted November 20, 2007 #84 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I had a horrible experience last week where I had to call the paramedics to ambulance my 2 year old Grandson to the hospital.He had a sudden onset extremely labored breathing episode where I actually thought we might lose him.Thankfully he is O.K.The diagnosis turned out to be a severe food allergen.Would all of you be O.K. in limiting the ships in what they can serve in the dining room due to the number of people with food allergies?O.K. I realize thats a stretch and I do think there has to be a way to distribute the balconies somewhat more smoker/smoke free than they are.But can't we put this into a better perspective?

usha Posted November 20, 2007 #85 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Oh, yeah!:rolleyes: Have you noticed how much animals like cigarettes? LOL!!! When you light one up near them,they look at it like it's the nastiest thing on earth, and get as far away from it as they can! What do animals know that 21% of the North American human population can't catch on to???:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan-M Posted November 20, 2007 #86 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Drew, check out this link: http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/secondhandsmoke/factsheets/factsheet6.html I think that if everyone read that report, there would be little left to be said on the topic of second hand smoke.

DC2OC Posted November 20, 2007 #87 Share Posted November 20, 2007 These smoking threads are always the same.Smokers seem to always say 'There are other things that will kill you'.Yeah,I suppose I could get attacked by a flock of humingbirds while sweeping the sidewalk or have a meteor crash through the roof while watching the Redskins game,now my dog my kill me.I always knew smoking damaged the brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkjretired Posted November 20, 2007 #89 Share Posted November 20, 2007 This thread has detoriated to a new low when we are now talking about animals smoking. Please, someone put it out of its misery before PETA becomes involved. It has been way off topic for too long.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bububr Posted November 20, 2007 #90 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I agree.:) Next we'll be talking about animals consuming alcohol which we know destroys not only the liver but brain cells also. So I'm assuming those who are SO health consious are not consuming alcohol if they are not smoking or not want to be around smoke.

Host Walt Posted November 20, 2007 #91 Share Posted November 20, 2007 A sufficient number of personal attacks have been posted and removed that caused this thread to hit the "high maintenance" mark. We Hosts don't like threads to achieve that level. Accordingly, in the interest of saving the time and energy of those whose interest appears to be insulting others, of those who are the targets of such insults, and of us Hosts, we have closed this thread.
