Where do you think you would find this sign?
_______________________________________________
On a smoker's shelter of course. It's okay to turn someone's lungs into charcoal but don't fry their brain. I guess you can tell I'm a ex-smoker. In this day and age smoking has been ban almost everywhere. I get a chuckle at the length smokers will go to have a puff. I see them leave a nice dry and warm work space to go outside and face the elements. One good thing about smoking is that it helps you lose weight. One lung at a time. Now that I have had my rant, I promise that next week I return to a more humours posting.
I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.
I share your rant. It aches to know my own son smokes, these days.. especially since I quit so many years ago because I knew I wanted to have kids. Oh the irony.
ReplyDeleteInteresting sign. Although I think smoking is a kind of drug. ;)
ReplyDeleteHa, good one. I know of no better anti-smoker than an ex-smoker.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being an EX-smoker! I too laugh at some of the lengths smokers will go to just to get a drag. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI would like to know what was going on in that shelter before they put up the sign!
ReplyDeleteRant accepted and agreed with! And yeah, the logic kind of eludes me as well. Up in Oregon,there's no smoking anywhere and even there are signs that people can't smoke within (quite a few yards) of entryways to buildings. Florida doesn't have that latter restriction and sometimes it's like running a smoke guantlet to get into the supermarket.
ReplyDeleteThat is funny, especially since tobacco is , I believe, a drug.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I wonder if people stand outside the fishbowl and look in to watch the smokers puff! Like a zoo!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures.
good capture. glad you kicked the habit.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering the same thing RedPat was wondering/ What WAS going on?
ReplyDeleteOnly clean smokers may enter, I guess.
ReplyDeleteSome of those people who leave their nice, warm, offices don't go far enough out of the way of the front doors, though. (that is my rant!)
hahahha...very true, one lung at a time, a sure way that is. :D and the more that sign says NO, the more it is appealing to them smokers.
ReplyDeleteat least it is a glass enclosure - but it doesn't look it has nearly enough ventilation.
ReplyDeleteIt took me years to quit smoking, but I eventually succeeded, and it's now been more than 10 years.
ReplyDeleteI remember going out the back door at work, standing under an umbrella to smoke half a cigarette, and going out later to smoke the other half. It's a horribly addictive drug, nicotine.
Thanks for following my blog, Andy. I think I'll enjoy following yours, too.

I, too, consider smoking a drug. It's addictive.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha your post made me laugh. I am thankful I never tried smoking or drinking ^_^

I like the fact that all the smoke is going to stay inside that glass room. I despise second hand smoke. I am one of those folk who has never smoked...a beer, a nice glass of single barrel bourbon, or a cold glass of sauvignon blanc....but no tobacco of any form. genie
ReplyDeleteI have the same question as RedPat and EG... Hmmm... And you do sound like an ex-smoker, Andy... LOL! I find it amusing that 20 years ago no one said a peep about just about everyone smoking and now, after a decade or so of effective propaganda, you are the devil incarnate if you do. What I don't find amusing is that the Western tobacco lobby has succeeded in getting their governments to strong-arm China and other developing countries to "open their markets" to their vile product now that they are losing their home markets.
