I'd rather inhale smoke than the smell of the old Meat Packing district.

Tell me I can't smoke in public, indoors, or at the discretion of an establishment. But don't tell me that i can't smoke outdoors. The parks are up next & you have to think ahead & ask, "what's next on the list?" <br />The truck that just passed me on the street was far more noxious smelling than anyone's cigarette could ever be.Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-49313207798693681882010-08-02T23:00:38.310-04:002010-08-02T23:00:38.310-04:00i started smoking at 13 - quit - - for the LAST TI...i started smoking at 13 - quit - - for the LAST TIME - at 47 - now 52 - and must admit i'm an obnoxious exsmoker - - cos if i smell too much tobacco i dream it and can't get it out of my nose hairs for days - makes me feel horrible. it was hell many times over to quit and then go back and if i knew i only had 6 months to live i'd prbly smoke tobacco again because it's ultimately my main drug of choice ... but alas i have unknown countless years ahead (ha!) and can't bear the effects.<br /><br /> btw - when i smoked i was a regular a**hole: blatant and self-righteous (except when i felt like a pariah). <br /><br />- - S - you seem a good guy/gal - I hope i don't treat you bad when you puff in my midst, you are likely worse off enuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-45628573454493974142010-08-02T13:31:21.217-04:002010-08-02T13:31:21.217-04:00Speaking of smoking...

I was yelled at by a woman at Mermaid Parade this year, because she had brought her infant & I was smoking outdoors. Now when I was a kid, I ran straight into someone's cigarette, so whenever I notice kids coming down the street, I lift my cigarette to make sure that they don't suffer the same fate. Anyway, I yelled back & pointed out that it was an outdoor event attended by many smokers, and drinkers & perhaps she should have brought her infant to a more suitable event.<br /><br />Went to Lincoln Center bandshell to catch the Gories/Death show on Saturday. I was yelled at by some woman with a clipboard who told me that I couldn't smoke there. I asked WHY? She told me that people were working the event & could breathe it in. I was sure that only related to servers, waitresses & the likes, so... Then she got a security guard involved & he told me that I couldn't smoke because it is private property. Yet by the fountain, there were ashtrays to be used by the public & I asked a porter who told me that those people were wrong, I could smoke. Later, at the Rock & Roll show, they announced on the mic that "if you were going to smoke, you needed to be courteous of your neighbors." <br /><br />I know smoking is bad for your health, so are lots of things. But it's getting ridiculous. Man, I used to smoke pot walking through the East Village & nobody cared. We've come a long way, down the wrong road. What's next? I'm going to have to side with the Scribbler on this one.Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-52997399821199869082010-08-02T08:16:10.502-04:002010-08-02T08:16:10.502-04:00I think the Scribbler might be expanding his or he...I think the Scribbler might be expanding his or her canvas too.
