I'm starting to get concerned about this smoking crap.. I don't smoke cigs, but I do like a nice pipe or cigar sometimes. Don't take that from me. - colin Nov 22, 14:29 3
- You have an awesome beard that requires a pipe now and then. Also: Really? We have to say we're from Reddit at that bar if we go to get cheap booze? -- nm - Qale Nov 22, 14:37
- how many walls do you share with your neighbour? -- nm - marcel Nov 22, 14:30 1
  - None, but the house next door is leaning and will probably be touching mine soon. -- nm - colin Nov 22, 14:31
I literally could walk out the door right now, we're on vacation next week and I have nothing that can't wait until I get back. - Mel Profit Nov 22, 14:27 8

- You gotta prep for it.. leave a pair of glasses on your keyboard and a cup of coffee out so it looks like you're coming right back. - colin Nov 22, 14:30 4
  - some day I'm going to make a paper mache doll of myself and put it in my cube. - Mel Profit Nov 22, 14:32 3

      - I was just thinking that I'd make them (I'd do multiples) would be slightly "off"... - Mel Profit Nov 22, 14:46
    - 3-D printing could be the ticket to making this happen... -- nm - colin Nov 22, 14:32

- bummer - I know you guys enjoyed it. I liked it when I did it -- nm - Epiphany Nov 22, 14:04 4
  - ditto. It was a fun way to get exposed to new music. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 22, 14:08 3
    - And to tick off groiny. -- nm - spamlet Nov 22, 14:43 2
      - there are plenty of ways to accomplish this without turntable. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 22, 14:54

- Who did he make cry this week? -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:41
Is this a good deal? Tablet for $59 -- (link) - amoxy Nov 22, 13:26 4
- Don't rush into this. The RCA's at Walmart are not despised and they're cheap. I'd wait until Black Friday. - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 22, 14:56
- Slickdeals say no Google Play support, so you're stuck with whatever apps the manufacturer gives you. -- nm - spamlet Nov 22, 13:28

Rob Ford's approval rating: 42%. 33% still plan to vote for him. -- (link) - Reagen Nov 22, 13:24 23
- i am so flabberghasted by these numbers. who ARE these people? literally no-one I know knows one person who supports him. does 42% of Toronto have - Andie Nov 22, 13:25 22
  - he was about bringing openness, common sense, and lower taxes to city hall. It's all bullsh*t but people are stupid. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 22, 14:06 1
    - sure, that got him elected. but, that was then, this is now. -- nm - Andie Nov 22, 14:08
  - He represents the "common touch"....I don't agree with it but I understand it.... - Walt_Disney Nov 22, 13:42 5
    - but he isn't common, at all. he's the son of a self made millionaire who hangs around with drug dealers. not average. -- nm - Andie Nov 22, 13:47 4
      - To many people hes an unpolished guy who makes mistakes....thats more more common than David Miller ever was... - Walt_Disney Nov 22, 13:55 3
        
        but - Andie Nov 22, 13:59 2
        
        It's not cronyism if it benefits people who are just like you. -- nm - Roger More Nov 22, 14:36
        
        But Ford's supporters look past that....I dont always get it either but different standards. -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 22, 14:07
  - *raises hand* - Spawn Nov 22, 13:39
  - the guy has gotten more publicity for the city than any sports team or tourism board ever could -- nm - thanksgeisting Nov 22, 13:36 6
    - yeah. great. an alcoholic moron is in charge of my tax dollars. -- nm - Andie Nov 22, 13:37 4
      - He is not your King, silly. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:46 1
        
        wait for it -- nm - Beaker Nov 22, 13:47
      - what's ironic is apparently his support is from tea party types who don't want tax $ spent on welfare (ie coke whores) -- nm - thanksgeisting Nov 22, 13:41 1
        
        we don't actually have tea party types to the extreme that you guys do. just, fyi. -- nm - Andie Nov 22, 13:42

  - fvcking Torontonians -- nm - The rest of Canada Nov 22, 13:27 3
    - normally i am wounded by the hatred of Toronto by the rest of Canada, but at the moment, i get it. -- nm - Andie Nov 22, 13:27

- Doesn't she know Muslim immigrants to Australia are sent to detention centres? -- nm - Roger More Nov 22, 14:38
- considering the voting age is 18, those Muslims have a busy couple of years ahead of them. -- nm - Reagen Nov 22, 13:26 1
  - No, immigration since we're only letting in Muslims. -- nm - spamlet Nov 22, 13:34

I don't smoke anymore but that is wrong. It's basically banned everywhere now when they can tell you can't smoke at home. Are there other legal - Krusty Nov 22, 13:08 37
- I'm very grateful that my landlord/neighbour who lives downstairs had to give up smoking. - Roger More Nov 22, 14:48 2
  - shouldn't that be soon-to-be-former landlord/neighbour? - zork Nov 22, 14:50 1
    - Nothing is happening at the moment. Limbo. -- nm - Roger More Nov 22, 14:53
- See below. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:09 33
  - Nothing said below changes anything for me. It's wrong to ban it like that. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:10 32
    - Second-Hand Smoke Can Travel Through Walls -- (link) - con_carne Nov 22, 13:20 15
      - I get all that but when you ban smoking in public and now private, where is someone supposed to go? It just sees wrong to me. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:21 14
        
        Why should they be obligated to give you opportunity to do it? -- nm - zork Nov 22, 14:11
        
        If I'm standing in my back yard, why can't I shoot my gun in the air? -- nm - con_carne Nov 22, 13:23 2
        
        Not the same thing. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:24 1
        
        with that smoking ban, it kinda is. -- nm - zork Nov 22, 14:15
        
        Cars. Smoking areas. Free standing houses. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:22 7
        
        There are no smoking areas anymore. So only people with free standing houses gets to enjoy their privacy now? So wrong. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:24 6
        
        how is smoking equivalent to privacy? -- nm - zork Nov 22, 14:13
        
        Lets look at it anoher way, noise. Do people have the right to listen to music at any volume at any hour? No. And that is something that does not even - Spawn Nov 22, 13:45 3
        
        But they can listen to music just at a resonable volume. I can listen to it rather loud until a certain hour. - Krusty Nov 22, 13:48 2
        
        Time for a plastic lined room so none of it leaves, then. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:55 1
        
        Hey! thats what I always do. -- nm - Dexter Nov 22, 14:06
        
        A duplex is not truly private. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:25
        
        *seems* -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:21 1
        
        it is wrong. and imo completely illegal -- nm - Jovian Nov 22, 13:22
    - Look for 5th amendment takings and nuisance law. If what you do on your property interfers with my rights, the State can control it -- nm - landbeck Nov 22, 13:16

      - And alcohol was never sprayed through the air. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:14 1
        
        I`ve sprayed some stuff due to alcohol however... -- nm - Beaker Nov 22, 13:24
    - higher fire risk for you doesn't mean anything? -- nm - zork Nov 22, 13:12 8
      - So ban hot plates and space heaters and toaster ovens. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:13 7
        
        So, no. There are many things that people use or do that increase that risk but we don't want to ban those items. It's a legal product that you're - Krusty Nov 22, 13:14 6
        
        Legal? It's days are numbered. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:15 5
        
        Yeah, good luck getting rid of a billion dollar product people are addicted to. - Krusty Nov 22, 13:17 4
        
        if it were a new product introduced today it would never be allowed in stores. -- nm - Andie Nov 22, 13:49 1
        
        For sure. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:54
        
        this -- nm - Beaker Nov 22, 13:27
        
        Wait for it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:17
    - Hmm. To each their own but obviously many feel as below. California may be the first but there will probably be many more. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:11 2
      - Until its officially banned as unconsitutional. -- nm - Jovian Nov 22, 13:21
      - And they'll all be wrong for doing it. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:12
American Horror Story - Coven - Jovian!! the Axeman is a great storyline *spoils* - Epiphany Nov 22, 13:08 3

The other thing about shared smoking wall is that it increases the risk of fire damaging your property. -- nm - zork Nov 22, 12:56 15
- anyway, as a former heavy smoker, the solution for people affected is really to just switch to e-cigs at home. - Jovian Nov 22, 13:08 8
  - There are cities looking to ban the e-cigs too. They're idiots. They think they're the same thing because it has nicotine. - Krusty Nov 22, 13:23 7
    - wow - this surprises me. You'd think they'd be all for it. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 22, 13:26 6
      - It surprises me too. I have spoken before my city council that was looking to ban them. They think the flavors are trying to hook kids. Like adults - Krusty Nov 22, 13:32 5
        
        Parks & Rec hit on this last night -- nm - Beaker Nov 22, 13:36
        
        unbelievable -- nm - Epiphany Nov 22, 13:34 3
        
        Yup. Gets me angry since it's the reason I was able to quit the real smokes. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:38 2
        
        it definitely helped SM quit. I wish my nephew would stick to the ecigs but real cigs are more convenient -- nm - Epiphany Nov 22, 13:43 1
        
        They are. Ecigs take a bit of effort to keep them going well. Cigarettes take nothing but a lighter. I wish him the best of luck kicking the habit. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 13:46
- though I would like to see the study that proves that second-hand smoke trickles through walls and kills your neighbors -- nm - Jovian Nov 22, 13:00 5
  - i hate when my upstairs neighbour smokes out his window. my balcony door is right below it and it stinks. -- nm - marcel Nov 22, 13:07
  - If you can smell what they are cooking, you can breath their smoke. -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:07
  - I think more air vents and windows - con_carne Nov 22, 13:04 1
    - As I have siad, if a car in front of me has a smoker in it, I oftentimes can smell it/ -- nm - Spawn Nov 22, 13:08
  - depending on the construction, it's definitely possible, plus that means windows are probably close enough together for it to enter the other home - zork Nov 22, 13:01
