Do they have smoking areas in restaurants, using the same technology?
Why not?


The same technology? You want to mandate restaurants to have a glassed
in section with it's own air system??


If they did, would you be happy? I thought not.


I wouldn't care either way. I just don't want my health compromised
because of an obnoxious habit someone has.

They have even offered to have two separate buildings, with the same
food and the same ambiance ... nope. not good enough.


Huh? Who offered?

Self absorbed non smokers demand access to both buildings because they
think they are missing something. Yes they are ... the fun people.
Since it's not "a necessary component" there's no action that OSHA can
take. Try again.

What?
The letter basically said OSHA does not have a standard for cigarette
smoke.


Yes, they don't have a standard. They just say there are tons of
carcinogens in it, but it's not part of manufacturing processes.


They do have a standard for all of the chemicals in question. It just
would not be low enough to bar casual smoking.


According to you. It would depend on several factors, like
concentration and proximity, for example.


They imply that if they use the same standard they use for
manufacturing it would not achieve the result desired by the
administration and they should just deal with this with legislation.
If they use the same standard for the listed pollutants that they use
for manufacturing facilities you probably would not be able to get
enough smokers in a room to exceed it and still be within the
occupancy code.


According to you. Nothing in the report claims the smoke is without
risk.


The letter from OSHA is basically begging off, telling the
administration that this should be handled by separate legislation and
getting them out of it..


And, it should be. So, what's your point?

I was just at a party in a restaurant.
After eating we smokers all went outside for a smoke.
Some non-smokers tagged along to avoid boredom.
Left about 2/3 of the party sitting there twiddling their thumbs.
They sat in dumb silence until we got back.
Then the party resumed.
Anti-smokers are often a sad lot.
Walk around all their lives with a stick up their ass just to live a few
more years of their uptight misery.
Pretty sad. Some are okay. They usually do other drugs.


You guys pretty much got it pinned... Every day I see mom's in huge
SUV's texting and coming right at me. At least once a day, and I am
supposed to worry about walking by someone smoking a cigarette? Gotta'
love progressives, regressive in each and everything they do in their
miserable lives...

The afore mentioned Sonny's Barbecue is one.

That was proposed by many bar and restaurant owners here who wanted to
maintain their smoking customer base. They wanted smoking and non
smoking restaurants, in the same chain with exactly the same menu.
Nope, it was ALL or nothing.

Exactly, but that is not what you want. In reality it is the
concentration in PPM usually taken at a couple locations on the site..

So this is simply legislation based on people being offended not any
science confirming the hazard. (What OSHA does)


Didn't she get on you earlier in this same thread about listening to the
experts in the field? snerk

I'm sure their business was hurt terribly. I guess they're out of
business. Good news?

So, when someone is puffing their cigar in my face, I'm betting the
PPM count is pretty high.

Really? OSHA is the only one who thinks about hazards like this? Nope.

Well said.
It is interesting how many people do tag along with the smokers, even
if they are not smoking themselves. I am one of those people. I really
am not a smoker but I know a lot of smokers. I have never really
smoked cigarettes and my 5 or 6 cigars a year are usually out on the
golf course. If someone bitches about that, all I can say is ... FORE!


You are a smoker. You smoke cigars. So, to put it another way, you're
a call girl not a hooker when it comes to tobacco?

Yes, we can see that you're very uninterested in anyone else's rights
to a clean, healthy environment.

We were not talking about malls, we were talking about bars and

on a separate lot, you have no reason to be there if smoke bothers
you.
I bet you don't spend a lot of time in strip joints either, no matter
how good the food is..

So, you're now claiming that there are no restaurants or bars in
malls? Restaurants are by nature public. There's no Fed ban. These are
local and state issued bans. Too bad if you don't like what your state
has done.

The law applies equally to a restaurant in a mall and one out on a
lonely dead end road. Are you saying that if it was away from the mall
it could allow smoking. Otherwise you are trying to change the subject
again.


Take a limiting case... Imagine driving down a highway in the middle
of nowhere. You need to use the toilet and finally you come across the
only restaurant for miles. Unfortunately, it's a smoking establishment
and you're allergic to cig smoke.

So, that's why it applies equally


That is bull****. You really had to stretch for that one.


The limiting case is a legitimate logic tool. Look it up.

"There could be no fairer destiny for any physical theory than that it
should point the way to a more comprehensive theory in which it lives
on as a limiting case." Albert Einstein
