BEWARY SMOKERS

I'm glad Mexico is adopting these new smoking laws
I love drinking in bars but hate smelling like a chimney when I leave due to all the smoke. My home state of Oregon, like many other states, has finally adopted non-smoking laws for restaurants and bars (other workplace laws are already in place) but the law doesn't take effect until 1-1-09.
The quoted article is a bit silly at times, but the law in itself is a good idea.
Smokers can be quite a pest, stinking the place up, specially when you're eating (really kills the enjoyment of a good meal)... I do my best to avoid them, but they always sit in places where the breeze or air currents bring the residue into my airspace so they can share their "personal" suicide with me...
Anyway, it's time that these people learn to respect other people's right to clean air, to respect the environment and their bodies, among other things.

I'm a non smoker, but I tolerate if I get a whiff of smoke.. I may well ask to be moved if it bothers me, but usually I find polite smokers willing to curb it if it is being offensive. I will always sit up wind of smokers, and I will always patronize restaurants that at least offer non smoking sections. I guess I enjoy the company of people too much to warrant cutting them off completely. I actually have more trouble with a guy with too much cologne or a gal with too much perfume.
IMHO...
Smoked
I agree with Contessa about the smell of excess perfume being more offensive then tobacco smoke . All the smokers I know are very respectful and deserve a break from the smoke haters. I'm not a smoker but have many good friends that do.

Hello bandwagon...I'm comin' aboard!! PERFUME SUCKS!!! Sadly, the olfactory sense is the one that "goes" first (if I remember correctly), so these offensive folks likely don't even know they're being as offensive as they are! Hence putting on so much it's knock a buzzard off a sh*twagon at a hundred paces!
Dunno how many times we've near gagged as someone has just walked by...REEKING of some perfume that was fashionable 20 years ago. (Not that the brand matters at THAT potency!!!!)

It must be age, cause in the past it didn't bother me much but yes, perfume is now a bothersome item too... maybe it's cheap Chinese perfume or something... but for me both (smokers and people that have lost their olfactory sense and bathe in perfume are just as bad ).
If smoking weren't actually a health hazard, I might be a bit more tolerant, but all things considered, it's just a nasty and antisocial habit, in my opinion, of course.

-http://www.vallartatribune.com/opinion/568index.htmlDrinking alcohol on the streets of Puerto Vallarta will be prohibited -and enforced- during the upcoming two-week Easter holidays. Business hours for shops selling alcohol will not be extended during that period.

For example, the Mexican capital's recently passed new traffic laws — which among other things outlaw the use of cellular phones while driving, the running of red lights and the backing down exit ramps onto freeways — have been widely ignored so far.
unfortunately either one (smoking or perfume) is deadly to lorrie's nose... she gets to sneezing or gets totally plugged up and really has a hard time breathing at time... also, she is allergic to life, think of all the tests she took there were only 5 or 6 things that did not whelt up on her skin...
right now our legitslature here in Iowa are looking at passing various forms of smoking bans... many small cities have already gone to it...
