| Nah, it's the fact that Montreal is basically the least French of all the cities in Quebec, basically nulifying the fact that geographically it is in Quebec.
Much like how some in Calgary will refer to Edmonton as the centre of sin in North Western Saskatchewan  |

| I don't know, I think Montreal lost a lot of its coolness when the baseball team moved to Washington. | |||

Well, then you should have led an effort to get attendance at their games up so they wouldn't end up leaving  |

| Yes, I'm in Montreal. But the culture doesn't change.
If anything, it'll be WORSE in some of the little villages where nobody's going to enforce the law. XD No baseball sucks. But at least we still have hockey/football/soccer.  (And yes, soccer draws VERY well in Montreal... the Impact can get 10,000+ for a game easily.) |

| Yeah but we're still very European. :\ And downtown... really European. XD
Rural regions in Quebec are strange because they're just like France... some of them are total time warps. |

| I'm a bit of an extremist when it comes to this issue. People who smoke are not only hurting themselves, but are also hurting others around them in return. They are making themselves and their loves ones live for less time. I don't care WHAT excuse people give me. If they can't gather up the energy to quit, then they aren't mature enough to be around me. I've even disowned my parents in the past for smoking, though i had to stop that for my mother, though I do frequently put her down and frown upon her for doing it. I've bought her hundreds of dollars worth of nicorette patches, but she just throws them out. | |||

| I don't really care if people do or don't smoke, just please, please have the decency to stop doing it in a specific place if it makes people uncomfortable. Riding in a vehicle with someone that's smoking is pretty hard to ignore no matter how much you roll that window down... | |||

Originally posted by C'aos I wish I could get this through my mom's fucking thick head. 
No matter WHAT I do, she STILL smokes around me. I'm tempted to steal her money and only give her enough for what she needs... so if she really wants to smoke, she'll have to give up something else more important. 
Then again, I'm also not suicidal. |

| I can't stand smoke. I cough up a lung even if I'm in a room with someone who's smoking; I don't want to find out how much actually smoking would hurt me. | |||

| I hate how people stand smoking right outside the exit of the bar. You have to breathe through that shit whenever you exit the bar. Never heard about going a slight distance away.
But it's better to have it that way, then to have everyone smoking like hell inside the actual bar. (Smoking has been banned inside bars in Norway.) |

| One thing that I've found is that certain materials don't absorb smoke nearly as much. For example, leather. If I wear my jacket in bars, I don't tend to bring nearly enough 'smoke' smell back as if I don't. | |||

| My parents smoke and I hate it.
Both my grandmothers died in the last few years and they smoked for most of their lives untill they were forced by doctors to quit. The grandmother on my fathers side spent the last years of her life on a respirator and it wasnt a pretty way to go. I tried to get my parents to stop for years but they wont listen. I had to put up with it almost constantly for 18 years but I finally moved out the first chance I got a couple months ago and have been living very happily since 
People can smoke if they want as long as they dont do it in my car, my apartment, or my face. |

| I'm.. really not big on smoking. I can't stand being around people while they're smoking.. it makes me sick. I've always known I'd never try smoking a cigarette or cigar, ever. My dad has smoked since before I was born.. he used to chain smoke ALL the time. He's sort of cut down on the number now, but he's switched to ..Colt thin cigars, or whatever. Ick. Watching him deteriorate, in comparison to my uncles (his brothers) who don't smoke, is scary. My boyfriend's dad just died of cancer recently; it started in the lungs, and when the doctors finally thought he was over it, they found out the cancer had spread to other parts of his body. He kept smoking right up until he died.
I realize a lot of people can smoke their whole lives and be fine, but having those examples right there, sort of.. in my face, makes it really easy for me to be really upset when I find out someone I know has started smoking. I try not to be judgemental, or overbearing about it towards them, but.. it's kind of hard sometimes. Thankfully I haven't had any of my really close friends start, because I'm not sure how I'd deal with that. =/ I can never understand why people think smoking's sexy, or looks sexy, or whatever (no offense to those who DO find it sexy, I just.. can't). It's like.. watching someone comit suicide, a bit at a time. *shuddertwitch* Ontario has started making it illegal to smoke in public areas like restaurants and whatnot. I know that pissed a lot of people off, but it makes eating SO much easier for people who don't smoke. Trying to eat while you're trying not to gag is.. kind of difficult. Since I'm in NY now, I'm still not really sure what the laws are on smoking, but I haven't seen a lot of people smoking inside. Just.. right outside the doors, which is.. ew. But.. I guess they have to smoke somewhere? I dunno. It's still annoying, especially when you see those signs saying "NO SMOKING IN THIS AREA", etc. >> ..Okay, I'll.. stop rambling now. ? |

| I got a little something to say to all of those non-smokers out there who prance around with their nazi attitudes towards those who CHOOSE to commit the act of slow motion suicide.
Non....Smokers....Die....EVERY DAY But seriously. It's a choice that we smokers are commited to, and we're taking the responsibility, wether we die from it or not. If you don't smoke. then hell, awesome... Good for you. But don't be spreading propaganda or coughing in my face about how it's bad for the environment WHILE I'm smoking. That annoys the piss outta me. If you do that, then you'd might as well dance a jig in front of handicapped people in wheelchairs, you soulless/tactless !@#*@#($WFUFJ!@(#UE!~. I'm not bitter. |
