Just Days to the Tobacco Restriction

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Well, my town has passed a smoking ban for all restaurants and bars, with only a short list exceptions. I’m so tired of my rights being taken away, I’m annoyed. I don’t understand why non-smokers have such a aggressive judgement on what we smokers do. I comprehend that smoking is unhealthy, but I made a conscience decision when I began smoking, aware of the fact it was harmful. Just because non-smokers want me to stop, does not mean that it will happen. Smoking in pubs has been a freedom, but most restaurants provide a accepted smoking area. If non-smokers prefer not to to inhale the smoke, don’t eat in the smoking area, you are not unwilling made to sit in smoking. And as well as the workers of these pubs that say they are distressed by second hand smoke, prove it. I was employeed in the hospitality industry for more than 10 years, and I know that most of theco-workers were smokers.  Dealing with the public, tends to, compels you to smoke.  Also, I have never overheard one non-smoking co-worker ever complain about cigarette smoke while working in the smoking area. Putting a smoking restriction in restaurants and bars, can only save me money, because I won’t eat out after the the new year.

All I want for my Present: Cigars!

Friday, December 18th, 2009

I have decided this christmas to plead for trustworthy presents that my wife can pick out competently for me. My number one gift, as always, is my favorite stogie from hand-made-cigars.com. My wife won’t even have to depart from the apartment, she can go online (I have all my favorites sites saved) and throw in the order there. As far as other gifts, she can go to the nearest shop and choose a gift. She mentions every year that I am utterly difficult man to get gifts for. But we have been married for almost 15 years! And if she doesn’t know the things I want by now, I just don’t know. I always mention every Christmas, “get me cigars”, I smoke 1 or 2 per day, and that adds up. I own a humidor for storing my cigars, “what’s that for?” my wife inquires. Well my sweetheart, it’s to keep my cigars alive. So, if you get me some for the holiday I can hold them in there for a couple months and get one when I am ready to fancy one. Although I have to say, I was blessed with luck last year, my wife purchased me a lighter that was ingraved with my initials. The prior year, she got me a fishing pole, because I said I wanted to go fishing again someday. Well, I went fishing one time in two years, but guess what, I still enjoy 1-2 cigars a day. So what do I want for my present this year? I want Cigars, and whatever else would just be an additional enjoyment.
