If you haven't heard..
The city of Seattle is proposing a ban on smoking in parks..
Hmm,,, the gun ban didn't work. Judge ruled against it.. Now Tobacco use in public parks are under fire. What's next ? Carhart pants in public ? Holy Bejeesus !
Now, as a parent of a pre-schooler, I can see somewhat what the city is saying. Cig. Butts on the ground really irk me. Young toddlers pick up everything and put it in the mouth. Gross when it's someone's elses "butt".. And yes my daughter did it.
But, as a smoker,. This crap pi$$es me off !! With Spring and summer coming I will be out flying kites with my little one, playing on the swings etc. being a Dad. But yet, I cant take a break and smoke a cig. ? We smokers do not force others to breath our smoke downwind. In fact, most of us pay attention and respect non smokers. Correct ?
And this is not in a building or closed quarters. It's "open air"..
Why dont they just leave us smokers alone. We are a dying breed..
Ok. Venting done.. Am I the only one who thinks this a crap law ?
