Smoke & odor removal

if smoke bother the non-smoking so much why did the non-smoking crowd always hung around the smoking section

[Dick Adair]

I'm sorry I asked the question. I had no intention of upsetting anyone. I would ask the moderators to close the thread before it gets worse.

Thank you.

Really, Ray? Are you just trolling now?

Michigan's and Ohio's smoking bans did wonders for the smell in our our restaurants and bars. At least one place in Ohio put in separate, "sealed" rooms with separate HVAC systems which also worked quite well. I wish they would ban smoking within a good distance of entrances to public places so I don't have to walk through it to get in or out.

Some people believe we never put a man on the moon too. What can you do?

I second that motion, and hopefully in time that will happen.

how would you non-smokers feel if the states ban all wood turning because of the dust

Ok, I may regret it, but I'll bite.

How exactly do you correlate woodturning in one's private garage/shop to someone smoking in public? If you cannot see the obvious difference here, I'm betting you're one of the inconsiderate smokers of this modern era that is partly responsible (other than health concerns) for the anti-public smoking "attitude" that we have today. It amazes me that so many people have no concern or consideration for those around them, and all they care about is their nicotine fix.

NO, I not trolling , the weather outside are too cold for my boat which I do not own, fishing is a good way to get away from non-smokers

the people that are in my face complain about the smoke, the people behind me complain about the gas fumes, everybody else complain about my smelling feet

In Ohio you must be a set distance from the door to smoke. Not sure what that distance is but at work we had to move the outdoor furniture so smokers could smoke. We had them set back about 100 feet.

As far as a ban on woodturning dust in restaurants. I would be 100% for that.

In Washington, when they banned smoking in public places (including within 25 feet of doors or opening windows), bar owners complained that it would hurt business. The reality is that business improved dramatically because all the people who stayed away because of the smoke returned. Nobody in business now complains about the ban.

In Virginia, businesses have the option of adding an addition with separate entrances and HVAC systems. In my area, I know of none that have done so. It tells me that the owners that complained of reduced business have discovered that isn't the case, and the economics of adding an approved smoking section doesn't warrant the expense.
