Only Days till the Tobacco Exile

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

All Right, St. Louis has accepted a smoking ban for all public facilities, with only a short list allowances. I’m so done with my constitutional rights being taken away, I’m ill. I don’t understand the reason non-smokers have such a stong personal opinion on what us smokers want to do. I understand that smoking is nasty, but I made a conscience decision when I started smoking, aware of the fact it was bad. Just because non-smokers want me to cease, will not mean that it’s going to happen. Smoking in restaurants has been a favor, but most restaurants have a special smoking room. If non-smokers prefer not to to be in the smoke, don’t eat in the smoking room, you are not forced to sit in the smoking section. And as far as the employees of these bars that say they are distressed by second hand smoke, what a joke. I worked in the hospitality industry for more than 10 years, and I know that the majority of thefellow workers were smokers.  Interacting with people, always, drives you to puff.  Also, I have never heard any non-smoking co-worker ever complain about cigarette smoke while at work in the smoking room. Putting a smoking prohibition in restaurants and bars, will only save me money, because I will not eat out after the the new year.

All I have to have for my Present: Stogies!

I have made a decision this christmas to plead for basic Christmas Gifts that my wife can pick out easily for me. My selection, as always, is my well-beloved cigar from Buycigars-online.com. She won’t even have to take leave of the condo, she can go online (I have all my favorites sites saved) and make out the order there. As far as other gifts, she can head over to the local store and pick something up. She says to me every Christmas that I am the most baffling man to purchase for. But we have been married for over 15 years! And if she doesn’t realize the things I admire by now, I quit. I constantly say every December, “get me cigars”, I puff on 1 or 2 in a day, and that adds up. I bought a humidor for holding my cigars, “what’s that for?” my wife askes. Well my beloved, it’s to keep my smokes green as grass. So, if you get me stogies for christmas I can keep them in that for a few months and get a cigar when I am wanting to fancy one. Although I have to say, I was blessed with luck last year, my wife gave me a lighter that was ingraved with my initials. The year before, she bought me a fishing pole, unfortunately I said I wanted to go fishing again someday. Well, I went fishing one time in two years, but guess what, I still puff 1-2 cigars every day. So what do I want for my present this year? I want Cigars, and anything else would just be an secondary delight.
