rockmom Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Just a couple of things here: I wonder what the results would be if the poll weren't a public poll? From the discussion in the other thread, there might just be a lot of non-smokers who would not support a government imposed ban. I don't think you can draw a conclusion that the number of non-smokers is necessarily relative to the number of people who would/would not support a ban. I also think a lot more people would support a non-smoking policy that were the result of a vote by the residents of a community, not as the result of an ordinance.

oldrambler Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I've tried to quit in the past and did for a year. I was absolutely miserable for that year and went back. As a person in recovery I almost went back to drinking while not smoking and knew my mind was going places it didn't need to be going. I've been sober over 20 years and still think about a drink, so I'm content to keep smoking my cigs and leave the alcohol alone. For those that have quit I commend you. :thumb::thumb: I certainly commend you for beig sober over 20 years, I admire you. I really do, that is great.

BoondockSaint Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 This poll would have been interesting if there were separate options for "No, never" and "No, but I used to". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
