Meg, <BR> <BR>I didn't read any insults here, Meg dear.. So, why are you yelling?? Are you nervous?? Maybe by being so nervous you're worsening your allergy ( allergies often are a psychosomatic phenomenon) . Calm down, sweetie.. <BR> <BR>Surlok <BR> <BR>

Meg - If you breathed carbon monoxide fumes for two hours, you would probably die. Smokers do their smoking thing for forty years before they die. Which puts them at about the same time as non-smokers, dying at around the age of 60-80, depending on all other circumstances. And while you're dining indoors, do you ever think about all the carcinogens in your (microwaved) food?

I'm so sick of all you smokers telling non-smokers that they don't have the RIGHT to breathe clean air. If you were as allergic to tobacco and cigar smoke as I am, you would change your tune. I'm an EX-SMOKER. Quit over 20 years ago. I have now been told by physicians that one of the reasons I am so allergic is that in fact I am an ex-smoker. They say your lungs never really adapt to that of a persons lungs that has never smoked therefore making you intolerate smoke in the air and around you. If you tried to sit down and eat a nice meal and had to stop every 5 minutes choking from the smoke around you maybe you'd have some compassion!!

Ex smokers are the WORST whinners in the world. Amazing how all of a sudden they become real a------ and join the Nazi. <BR> <BR>Everyone has their right to do what they want. Don't force it on the other person. If you don't like the heat (smoke, etc.), get the hell out of the kitchen. <BR> <BR>Personally, I am bothered by people who (1)chew and pop gum (look just like cows chewing their cud (2) Boulevard beauties who lay on so much perfume you almost gag and (3) All of those wonderful people on cell phones that can't wait to share their converstation with EVERYONE within shouting distance. They are soooooooooo important. <BR> <BR>I'm flexible; I can get up and move, except on an airplane!! <BR> <BR>P.S. I am also an ex-smoker. 3 packs a day. Cold turkey 2 1/2 years ago. Please blow your smoke my way. <BR> <BR>Dick

Forgot to add, the original post to this thread had some unkind things to say about one of the most beloved people on earth. No, wait a minute, that is the Elks (or close). <BR> <BR>This is all about smoking, and I suggest all smokers blow their smoke Teddy's way! Can't understand the people of Mass. You think Florida has voting problems!! <BR> <BR>Smokie

Mc. Donalds is non smoking worldwide. Also Picnic in your room.
