Drive-in movie theaters have disappeared in Arkansas and mostly gone in the
rest of the US and that is a shame. I never go to walk in theaters because of
the inconvenience of noisy kids sticky floors and not being able to smoke during
the movie. We need drive-in's. My teen years were filled with memories of the
drive-in and even fighting the mosquitoes were a pleasurable memory. How many
children were conceived in the drive in?

Pro, it is still an indoor theater with noisy kids and sticky floors. 2 hours
of no freedom to light up whatever you like. Nothing better then outdoors in
your own vehicle.

yes it is indoors, but so far I have never had any problems with noisy
kids...the floors are not sticky because most of the people that go there are
not filthy fucking pigs that throw their trash on the floor, and the people that
work there actually keep the place clean.
and as for not being able to smoke inside, well I for one am glad about
that...
in fact, in the state of Washington, it is now illegal to smoke within 25 feet
of the entrance to a building...I like that too.

i love non-smoker double talk. "i like that there are no smoking
allowed....wah wah wah", then turns around and is one to fight for every
other right they think they are entitled to, and fuck the ones that we don't
like. that's what is killing our society god damnit!

okay fossil, how about if the next time you're having dinner at your favorite
restaurant, (sizzler?) I just come on in and hop up on your table and drop a big
fat steaming turd right in the middle of all your food? How'd ya like that? well
why not? If you can exhale noxious chemical laden smoke into my atmosphere, why
can't I shit on your dinner table? seems fair to me...

I did not intend to bring about a debate about smoking. Just indicated why I
like drive-ins. I do think we should be allowed to smoke anywhere there is
adequate ventilation though. People who pick an choose which rights they should
fight for do not deserve any of them. No rights of an individual should be
infringed upon regardless of how many people support them or how few don't voice
support. The smoking part, I have always been courteous of other people when
and where I smoke and I don't need nonsmokers to tell me where or when I can
smoke. If I light up and someone near me asks me to stop I have always stopped
without complaint but to have the government to tell me to stop is just not
right. Heavily taxing tobacco is not the right way to get people to quit
smoking either. Quitting is hard enough for smokers and trying to force them
does not create success it just creates pissed of smokers. If you want to make
people quit smoking them offer them free aides to quit or work on a super pill
which will guarantee that they can quit. While I am at it we need to do away
with laws that only affect the individuals personal choice, like seat-belt laws.
If I choose to not fasten my seat-belt then that only affects me and nobody
else so it should be my choice. How many people have had accidents and went
through the windshield and killed someone else? How crazy is it to be forced to
were the things and people riding motorcycles aren't even required to wear a
helmet? Too many laws and not enough common sense.

I smoked from my late teens to my late twenties, and I never felt that it was
my right to smoke anywhere in public...just because it was legal didn't mean it
was right. in fact I remember smoking in the H-E-B in Austin Texas (1985?) and
thinking that it was wrong...
smokers have the right to smoke or non-smokers have the right to clean air?
seems obvious to me, and not just because I'm a non-smoker now...I felt the same
as a smoker.
"ketchup bottle rammed cap deep in your ass" thanks for reminding me
fossil, I need to call your sister back...

The key to it should always be adequate ventilation. I was always raised to
never go into a building smoking a cigarette and anytime I went into any
building I always put out my cigarette. There is a town here in Arkansas which
does not allow smoking even on your own front porch, now that is going too far.
The California law is ridiculous too, not allowed to smoke anywhere in public.
The problem is that people are getting too lazy and want the government to do
everything for them instead of dealing with little problems themselves. I have
a problem with people wearing the pants halfway down to their knees as well but
I do not want to make a law to stop it. Don't make laws to stop behavior unless
it infringes on other people rights. Repeal the seat-belt law.

And even though you are a standup gentleman I'm sure you just throw your butt
on the street like all the other smokers.
Scum.
The smoke doesn't bother me as much as the smoker.
I used to like sticking my fingers and toes into the sand at the beach. Not
anymore.
Smokers.
Scum.
Filthy pigs.

It always makes me laugh hearing smokers talk about 'their right to smoke'. I,
as a non-smoker, have the right to not inhale, not only noxious, but unpleasant
smelling fumes, and that includes if there is adequate ventilation or not. I
also have the right not to pay for all of the medical harm that your smoking
causes, either through higher medical insurance premiums or higher taxes, or
both, depending on how it is funded where you are from. The same right applies
to you wearing a seatbelt in a car or a helmet on a bike (push or motor).
I agree that some of the laws in some parts have gone too far. In NZ for
example, you are not allowed to smoke in any workplace. A workplace can be
defined as your own vehicle, even if you are in it by yourself, if it is being
used for work purposes. That said, I do support laws that protect the rights of
the majority from the rights of those who are deliberately harming themselves
and potentially harming others.

laws restricting use don't bother me, it's the dickhead corksoaker politicians

It really hurst me to agree with the digger on this one.
If an item is legal then it is unfair to tax it disproportionally.
I am a binge drinker, which means I save it all up for Saturday night, and I
find the latest tax increases in booze to be way over the top.
If the politicians really believe the hype, and if they have the balls, they
should make these things illegal.
Then we'll see some fun in the streets.

Next thing you know they will make body odor, certain perfumes or after shaves,
bad breath and outdoor BBQ grills illegal. With adequate ventilation second
hand cigarette smoke would be so low in parts per million that there is no harm
done whatsoever. Smog in large cities is more harmful than cigarette smoke.
