I hate smoking in restaurants, but it does not bother me in bars. Also, If girls want to look slutty to attract customers, there is nothing else that compares.

ChiangMaiLightning2143 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Girls with a cigarette don't look slutty.They don't look sexy. They look stupid. Their clothes, hair, body and breath smells. They have yellow fingers and teeth. It ages the face and skin. Wherever they go dragging along the odour of tobacco. If you go to her room it stinks. They are always wasting time smoking.I wouldn't touch one with another man's "todger". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should pay more for drinks and pay for the laundry bills of non smokers and pay for the health insurance of the Thai Staff. Smokers are a tiny minority of people who ruin places for 90% of non smokers. Ignorant, anti social bullies. Paradoxically you appear to be living in a vast city, heavily polluted with diesel particulates, grumbling about a puff of tobacco smoke. If you were seriously concerned about your health, perhaps you might consider moving to a rural area. As for price increases..it might be a good idea for the forum to charge a fee of 1000B for each grumbling quote... Theres nothing as important as tolerance in a large cosmopolitan 'crazy' city.

Luckily none of this bothers me short time. The smell is usually quite mild when they are younger. Women who have been smoking for many years are a different story.

ChiangMaiLightning2143 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Nothing about demons or angels. Equivocation of cigarette smoke in enclosed restaurants (where it is already banned by law) to pollution or vehicle engines is the only exclusive domain of so called "smokers". Simply, they are self entitled and deluded addicts who insist foisting cigarette smoke on all and sundry is some kind of right of a free man upon the land. I have only confronted them two times in my life once when I saw a lit cigarette thrown out a car window on RED fire day in a national forest ( physically attacked, that did not work out well for the culprit) and a drunk in an elevator(some vile threat). Something wrong with these people. I us d to think banning smoking outdoors was too much but visited Sapporo, Japan this month they have smoking cabins now at the public parks paid for by the tobacco industry, and a fine for walking with a cig in certain areas. No smoke allowed near the kids swings and slides. A very reasonable solution to "the smoker question". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Still haven't eaten at the "bad offender" smoke bomb restaurant in the O.P. Walked by one night and a table of the suspect nationals were eating but not smoking, but didn't seem worth the risk. Also, I was told they have a machine from Bangkok on order that will improve a large segment of their menu, say no more, but it hasn't arrived yet. Don't know if it will ever arrive.

ChiangMaiLightning2143 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 We are not talking about the various imperfections and "sins" of people who do not smoke cigarettes. It is only about smoking in places such as enclosed restaurants where it is already forbidden by Law. The "Final Solution to the Smoker Question" is enclosed smoking cabins in public spaces , entirely funded by the Tobacco industry, as exists already in Japan.

Taking a walk down the street in Tokyo as you pass the entrance to the car-parks the smell of smoke is at the least noticeable and more often than not quite strong. It surprised me that this was allowed. While I like the idea of preventing people from smoking on the streets which effects non-smokers, there must be a better way of handling this instead of placing smokers out of the way, hiding them in car-parks like second-class citizens. So, I don't think Japan has it right either, but the smoking booths you mention are a start, I've never seen one though. I'd hope they are very well ventilated, if they are anything like the smoking booths at the airports they would be horrific. With regards to smoking I would like to see a couple of things happen. I'd like to see smokers be more considerate of those around them and do their best in their attempts to avoid non-smokers while smoking. I would also like to see the shrinking-violets prevent themselves from their childish over reactions when the 'smell a little cigarette smoke'. Equally so, the non-smoking nazi's could do with lightening up a little. In short - a balanced all round mutual respect for those who do not do things the same way or have the same habits would go a long way towards making life a lot easier for all concerned when these issues crop up.

I live a long way from pollution. Tolerance is a two way street and smokers should be aware of the damage to the health of staff in bars, be aware of the dreadful smell of ashtrays, and recognise that even through they might have got used to the stink other people do not want their bodies or clothes to smell rank. Smoking is not to be tolerated anymore than spitting or other dirty, unhygenic, anti social habits. It is the habit of oafs, morons and those who think they are still living in the 1950s. That is the reason it is curtailed in many countries including Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont knock the 1950s., a time when GB led the world in aviation, trade, finance, shipping, education, received pronounciation, and good manners....And even Churchill smoked..and no-one complained of the 'awful smell'. GB has been in steady decline since his cigar finally extinguished. These days, in the UK, your 'anti social oafs and morons', are governing a nation of 'clever' indoctrinated PC zombies and feminist ideologistic fundamentalists.

ChiangMaiLightning2143 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Was there again Monday thru Thursday. I went in a smoking room at Narita airport (tried to buy drinks from a vending machine). Of course it stunk, why should there ANY ventilation when smokers like smoke so much? No smell from the car parks. Similarly why drive a car hanging an arm out American style with lit cigarette? If smoke and ash is so great why not keep it inside for ones exclusive enjoyment. The autumn food market in the park was very nice. No smoking allowed in the tents and tables. Here a portable building provided for the ciggie people. It was so nice to sit outside enjoying 13c night air with fine food and drink. Would have been RUINED had cigarette smoke been wafting about.
