Sitting in a smoky bar....

Co-workers wife has been spinning the wheel of chance with smoking like we all did. She lost. MUST quit smoking but can't.
So I put together a rig and stopped over to get her started vaping.
On the front porch the smell hit me.
When I walked in his wife, daughter and son in law where all puffing away.
BARF!!!!
I never allowed smoking in the house so that smell is a new one to me. Grandkids running around in the haze. I'm not sure I could fog a room at 100w like cigarettes do.
I set her up and will handle further questions in a public place (smoking is banned everywhere except homes in NY).
That's exactly why, even after our son grew up and left home, I still kept my smoking outdoors; in 16 yrs, I had gotten accustomed to the lack of ashtray smell, and the lack of sticky yellow film on everything, and really didn't want to bring it back. Which turns out to be a really fortuitous decision since I finally quit smoking! The vaping may leave a bit of a film, but it's nothing like the smoke film, and it doesn't stink the place up either.

When my friends come over I make them smoke outside, and I vape all over the house. Kinda makes me feel bad, but if I let them smoke inside I'd have to deal with it for days.
After we went through a period where restaurants had to enclose their smoking sections (at a heafty cost, I'm sure) smoking was completely banned inside the city limits. No bars, no restaurants, etc. I quit going out.
Four years ago, I quit smoking in the house. Went outside for two years. Locked into vaping and even vape in the bedroom while folding laundry or watching TV. Never smoked back there.... Soooooo glad now.
Can't vape in most places here - treated just like smoking, so I still don't go out anymore.
I miss the "social" aspect but I sure don't miss the "stank"

I agree, on the social aspect I felt real out of place with a ton of smokers around. Humans are notoriously acceptant of different so I may have been overreacting.
Yeah, I left the ashtray that I always used on the table on the front porch -- while I'd rather that any smokers go out to the end of the driveway
but I won't be that mean; they can have the same comfy chair I always sat in, on the front porch. Andria
I like all the comments.
It was a fun time being able to vape at a bar. But, I still smelled the smoke in the morning.
I am sorry for all the times I smoked cigs and made people smell that.
I work on a yacht and had to smoke out on the docks away from the boat. Which meant I spent time getting dressed and finding places to smoke so the boss did not see me. I can vape inside the yacht now and realize how much time and effort I put into smoking. I get more done now. So it is a win-win.
I went to Denmark and it does rain sideways for days!
The new Kanger sub tank with the 1.2 coil in it has finally allowed me to cut my 18mg/ml juice to 12mg! I am vaping a little more, but that is half the nic I started with. I don't know if I will ever get to 0 nic. The fact is that vaping has save my health and lots of money! So, again, a win-win situation.
I called the White House today! Let's get that 2007 mandate thrown out.
Vape on!

why did you walk into the bar in the first place seeing, knowing it was smoke filled and the resulting outcome of an extended stay in the establishment was going to result in unpleasant results??
if you walked into a place serving seafood and smelled rotting fish would you still go in and order fish for dinner?

From plenty of experience, a nice shower before hitting the hay might help with that.
The reason I did, I wanted to sing karaoke. I never realized that the smell of the smoke would linger on Everything I had on. As a smoker, I did not realize that the scent lingers like that. But then....I was a smoker in a northern state where there was no smoking inside and hadn't been for a few years. The places that did have smoking that we frequented (when smoking was allowed inside) had amazingly great smoke eater ventilation systems.
Those were actually mandated for businesses that sold a percentage of food to bar ratio. After a year or so after making those businesses pay the money to have them installed, they went ahead and said....screw you, we are going to make you have a no smoking establishment. Doesn't matter if you lose business, we have to worry about the public that chooses to enter a smoking place even though it bothers them that there is smoking in it.
God I HATE politics and nannyism.
there needs to be places that are off limits to non smokers... there is way too many that are off limits to smokers today...
Yes a shower would have helped.
It was my choice to go in, how often would I get to go into the oldest bar in Florida, though? I was only in Fernandina beach for one night.
We now have B & M stores for vaping. Some I have been in have couches.
Vaping has been my life saver. And I am sorry for all the people I subjected to my cig smoking.

I really agree with you.I know what you mean! I went to one down here. The smoke smell was even on things zipped inside my purse. If they would use a good vent system, it wouldn't be so bad. They just open the doors instead. That doesn't help.
One good thing I learned, I wasn't tempted to have a cig!
Really? So in your view I could walk into a hospital and smoke a cig, nothing is wrong with that? You're against any regulations on anything then? And I guess that the person who is allergic to smoke in a restaurant one table over from me should just get up and move, possibly go eat outside in the cold, because in America we should all be able to do "what they want wherever they wish."
Safe to say, we are very different people with vastly different views ... this post really irks me.
(leaving the thread, but could not leave this alone...I'm a huge friend to vaping and am politically active to keep it alive, but these right-wing notions that no regulations should exist whatsoever are irresponsible)
WRT a cigar bar, that is much different, I fully agree with you. If someone goes into a smoke shop and complains about smoke, well...

Typical. I guessed you missed the "common sense" part. Good day.
Actually, in essence I agree with you and did not miss it...but I don't think common sense is so common, unfortunately.
In an ideal world we'd need no laws or government, if everyone had common sense. Believe me - I'd prefer this to be the case.
Sorry that I got so irked though, @bluecat - you seem like a cool person. Please forgive if I rubbed you the wrong way.
