Hello?

I don't know, but even if we do have that law, 25 feet isn't very far. And what would count as an "entrance" is a but up for debate since the greenhouse currently only has one wall (Unless it never has walls. I don't know.). Oh, and by the way, make that at least 5 people. One of my coworkers (who doesn't smoke) says you see a lot of smokers in retail since they can take a break whenever they want. Yuck.

why does the greenhouse only have one wall? it doesn't seem like it would be a very effective greenhouse.
i've discovered that a lot of smokers do work in retail, but a lot more work in call centers, cause they can take a break whenver they want. whereas, at least here in utah, when working retail, they still had a limit to a number of smoke breaks they could take.

[The Honourable Ninja-san]

Well, in the summer, you want to avoid the greenhouse effect as much as possible. I'm not sure what they'll do in the winter. By the way, it has the one wall because it's attached to the indoor, air-conditioned part of the store.

I'm glad that smoking is becoming less socially acceptable.

they have these commercials recently, they've had them before, but i haven't seen them recently, about just what it is that smoking does to your lungs, and brain, and arteries and such. they are kinda gross, i mean, cutting a brain in half, and out falls a blood clot, but its kinda cool at the same time.

They gotta get graphic if they hope to get the message across. It might not work so well for young boys, but hopefully at least for those mature enough to pay attention, and for young girls who might influence the boys.

According to my uncle (who is a grandpa), there used to be candy cigarets, and kids would by them and pretend to smoke. And in old movies, fairly often, you would see the main characters smoke. They wouldn't necessarily be tough guys either; the love interest might smoke. But now that's less common, which should help.

[Melinda]

they still have the candy cigarets. i saw a couple kids having them on my mission

[Jason]

Yeah, and now they have electronic cigarettes. Go figure, huh?

[Melinda]

there is a guy at work who has one. aparantly he was using it the other day while on the phones.

[Jason]

It just sounds so dumb to me. Really, it does. What's the point?

[Melinda]

it gives you the nicotene (sp?) high that you need, but without the actual smell of it, and without killing off you lungs, and generally being healthier.

[Jason]

Except for the whole addiction part. That helps kill you, too.

[Melinda]

well, yes. but i think the idea behind them is that they are better for you

[Brandon]

And better for everyone else because they don't have second hand smoke

[Melinda]

this is also true.
