care to repeat that in thatguy's face?
the best thing about the system show...
i'd rather have a bunch of cigarette smokers around me than a single cigar smoker.
i prefer non-smoking shows. it's easier to breathe. i don't reek of smoke when i get out of the show (thus not having to take a shower when i get home to keep my bed from smelling like smoke), etc.

Originally posted by sparklygirl:actually, i blow the smoke up (away from people around me).. i just cant stand when i light up and i see some stupid ass next to me roll his eyes or sigh.. if it bothers you that much, move, or go to a show where there is a smoking ban. i'm offended by drunk assholes, but i dont bitch when people drink.
I don't think I've ever seen nonsmokers at the 9:30 club ask ppl to stop smoking. But then I don't rudely blow smoke in people's faces like you probably do.Originally posted by danknugz:non-smokers tend to ruin the show by being whiney fucking pussies.

you're at a bar/club that allows smoking. if you don't want smoke around you, then don't come to the club. if the performer wants a smoke-free environment, they can request it.
it's that simple.
plus, cigarettes are one of my main tools (in addition to well-placed elbows and sarcastic remarks) for getting rid of asshats who get in late and decide to angle right in front of me in a packed show. a face full of smoke for about five minutes tends to send the message quite nicely.

your bs, outdated 'smokers rights' nonsense shows nothing but how shamefully addicted you are. i hardly think it's unreasonable for a person to say that your weaknesses shouldn't cause other people to get cancer. and should one or two people's dumb addiction be able to poison a whole group? makes no sense. take it outside.

smokers rights nonsense? when did i ever say we have rights?
i tried to make this incredibly clear, but i guess you read what you wanted to read:
the club allows smoking. if you go there, you should expect smokers. the performer can request to make it non-smoking.
is that really hard to understand? i'll "take it outside" when i go to a club that doesn't allow smoking.

if you did mean that, you're a sad, sad excuse for a member of "humanity."
playing devil advocate, but just cause the club allows smoking inside doesn't mean everyone has to light up… be a rebel always smoke outside or in the backbar… the less smoking inside the club the less of an issue it becomes.

you should be directing your blind vitriol towards the management of bars/clubs who allow smoking, because if it's allowed, i and many others will be lighting up.
unless, of course, you keep making these well-reasoned impassioned pleas for me to buck the trend, play the pied piper, and lead all the smokers outside or to the backbar. your last post almost convinced me to do so, but it just fell a bit short.
could you please keep ranting? something will probably click with me.
