    Sadly yes. I don’t understand why anyone would smoke.

    I know, right? Nothing cooler than smelling like a dirty ashtray and having disgusting smokers breath. And of course the smokers cough is also such a turn on.

    Nor do you understand why that is irrelevant ? ... Who cares about what you don't understand .. just don't go around supporting law made on the basis of "I don't understand" got it sport ? :banana::applause:

    Could you let me know what law do I supposedly support, sport? Are you a smoker? I ask only because of your overreaction to my post. You seem a bit butt hurt.

    Are you aware of the topic mate ? ... your question answered in that topic to be sure.

    Does "Capitol Hill Smoking Ban" ring any bells ?

    Not that I have witnessed, glaucoma was always a standing JOKE :) Chemo, also bullshit! Arthritis pain, definitely not :) Most people use it for one reason, to get high! CBD is the medicinal and THC is the recreational aspect.. And CBD is hardly the top seller..

    Good for them. Stupid idea to ban smoking to begin with.

    I don’t believe the Capitol Hill smoking ban is a law. So let me try this again….what specific law do you believe I support?

    Go sit somewhere else if you don't like it. Smoking ban laws are idiotic. Let the market sort it out. Leave the government out of it.

    Indeed we have laws banning smoking in the workplace ... all over this nation.

    Regardless -- that is the law you support -- Laws which ban smoking in certain areas.

    Now quit dancing around... pretending to be ignorant ... do you support a smoking ban on Capitol Hill -- including their "Private" offices .. or do you not. Not rocket science mate.

    Do you support state laws prohibiting smoking in privately owned buildings with public access? Grocery stores, bars, restaurants, etc.

    The Capitol Hill smoking ban is NOT a law. Pelosi instituted the ban when she became house speaker. It’s not rocket science to understand that much, mate.
    I don’t work there so I couldn’t give two craps that the ban is being lifted. They can smoke themselves silly all I care.

    Your claim that there is no law in DC Prohibiting smoking in places of work is purile nonsense but it matters not.

    The question is whether or not you would favor laws prohibiting smoking .. be it Capitol Hill .. or your local restaurant. Not complicated.

    Yes because smelling like a used ashtray is always such a socially desirable thing

    It's not up to you who smokes and who doesn't.

    Sigh…I never said there wasn’t a DC law prohibiting smoking in places of work. The law didn’t pertain to the Capitol. Did you even read the link in the OP? For fcuk sake….try to keep up.

    Let’s do an equivalent here. You have a work colleague who refuses to bathe (memories of one oatient who objected to us washing him but post wash he had freckles! ) Do you or do you not have the right to ask that they, out of consideration to others, wash at least occasionally

    I think that is why most are against smoking, cause many things are worse for ones health, but the smell really gets to some

    now the smell of Marijuana has a nicer smell

    and vapes don't bother me at all, people can smoke those in my house if they want
