Where to smoke, where NOT to smoke? - Page 2

Garry going to a Tech N9ne concert?

thechrisdotcom · 10-27-2011, 11:21 AM

it's a Tech N9ne show. No one is going to care. People will probably ask if there's weed in it.

The last time I went to a Tech show I was asked to leave...only cuz I was in the bathroom trying to get fresh air

In other words, I was drunk as hell and thought I was going to puke.

If people are smoking weed, do you really think they would say anything negative about cigar smoking?

I smoked a cigar waiting in line to get into a venue. What can they really do? Ask you to put it down is the worse case scenario and if it's legal to smoke outdoor, say no.

I look at it this way. It may be legal, it may be your "right," but the truth is that cigar smoke offends even other smokers. Heck, it kind of offends me when I'm not smoking.

But, consider this. In that crowd of people you're pissing off, there may well be a politician (I realize that's not likely in this instance, but it is in many circumstances,). Alright, there's not a politician, but maybe there's someone who's got too much time on his hands and chooses to be an anti-cigar activist.

Do we really need to make these folks mad? I mean, if smokers never smoked in public, would there be as much anti-smoking activity? Would SCHIP have happened if not for these instances? Maybe, maybe not.

The way I look at it, I'll smoke when there's no one to offend because I neither want more limited access or higher taxes.

just to let you know, the sky isn't falling. schip would have been passed no matter what and you're not going to change the feelings of someone who hates smoking no matter what you do. you're just not that special

I don't imagine there is a lot of "anti"-anything activity at this particular concert, much less any holier than thou activists.

I always start from the perspective of 'outside=ok'. However, I do think I'm fairly considerate. So, it depends:
In line, generally, not so much ok.
However.....if there for hours, wind blowing a little, not nut-to-butt, other stuff being smoked, not too close to little kids/babies, etc......then....I'm probably going to have a cigar

Zeuceone · 10-27-2011, 01:31 PM

Just put it in the air.. light it up, smoke it up, but don't inhale, atleast not a cigar.

Mikess · 10-27-2011, 01:41 PM

Had to google who this was, sounded like a rave venue then I thought love peace ironic soft rock but I was wrong on both accounts. Check out the people around you and make a decision from the crowd.

Crownedone · 10-27-2011, 03:15 PM

I'll smoke where I want, when I want. If I worried as much about every aspect of my life the way that some do about cigars I might as well just bubble wrap my ass and stick it in the closest.

We worry way to much about offending some with a cigar. We don't do for every thing else in our lives, and I won't do it with one of the few legal pleasures that have.

Col. Kurtz · 10-27-2011, 03:43 PM

I will generally ask the people around me before I light up. Even outdoors in public spaces. Something along the lines of "would it bother you if I smoke?" I can't ever remember someone telling me they would rather I didn't, but if that was the response I'd gladly wait.

In fact, it is usually a good icebreaker. I hear about how they love the smell of cigar smoke and how uncle Bobby used to always smoke when they were kids....et c.

Let's face it, we're not addicts, and the last thing I want to do is inconvenience anyone with what brings me happiness. Not fun to be on the other end of that. (think of your neighbor that rides four-wheelers with gutted mufflers @ 10pm)
The last thing I want to do is come across as inconsiderate and give other cigar smokers a bad name.

All that said, if I were in a venue where most folks were stoned out of their mind and feeling no pain, I probably wouldn't bother asking.

10-28-2011, 01:21 AM

I try to have consideration for others when I smoke; seems like the more I try - the worse looks I get though.

What if the guy next to you lights up too?
But it's not a cigar..

CigarSquid · 10-28-2011, 08:51 AM

And, I got off work late, Had to rush, totally forgot to grab a stick... Damn. All this talk and didn't take advantage of the tailgate deal.

Zeuceone · 10-28-2011, 10:49 AM

Don't worry there will be plenty to smoke, brother.

CigarSquid · 10-28-2011, 11:36 AM

Yes there is...
