Cigarette Vending Machines

[quad decade guy]

I play in a weekend Bar band and ciggarette Machines still exist in the wonderful places we perform.I think they go for about$10 a pack for marlboros

Is smoking allowed in these places?

How about weed?

I used to play airplanes(plastic model airplane that smelled like smoke) in the den. Would hand fly the plane through the thick "clouds" of smoke....just like in the movies....think about that. My parent's did not give ANY consideration for their health or their kids. None.

Every road trip was spent with the windows fully up(maybe just cracked) as they chain smoked. My Dad took up cigars after his first heart attack and stroke....so the house took on a duel cigar/cigarette stench.

Even before I could drive, my Mom would send me into the store for milk, bread and a carton of cigs......yeah at 10 yo. Never got turned down for cigarettes at any age.

My Mom died last year(80)......she had COPD. I generally quit going to visit her because I didn't want to be around the smoke and didn't have to. My Grandfather smoked until lung cancer killed him.....didn't like being around him either. Comical how he tried to hide it from my Grandmother....

And yet.....weed is being legalized....

Smoking is allowed in Bars. Weed is not allowed but is consumed outside.

Why?

Most(all?) smoking(restaurants/bars) is banned here in bigger cities.....

Where is this? Its not allowed in bars here. The only exception would be an Indian casino. Those Commanches can get away with anything.

Still allowed in Vegas, Laughlin, and Reno as well.

They are all Commanches to me (sometimes Arappahos.) Actually what we have around here are Ojibwe. They are one lazy bunch of peoples. They won't even take jobs offered to them by their own casino.

Gambling and smoking seem to go together. Our local casino has a no smoking section that is surrounded by smokers. Its like having a peeing in only one end of the pool section. Mn. going smoke free everywhere including bars and restaruants was one of the BEST things that ever happened. (And at one time I was an almost 3 pack a day smoker).

Here in In Georgia we are always a bit behind the times. Establishments that dont allow those under 21 and garner less than half of their revenue in food can allow smoking. They are the exception rather than the rule but there are quite a few of them.Most of them have a Biker Clientele

That is truly amazing 150 years ago as the Comanche and Arapaho were two of the fiercest tribes.

I've known Georiga was a little behind the times ever since I read a few of @Old Man Jingles posts.

Casinos on ships are always smoking areas.

Isn't it amazing how lazy people get when everything is provided for them at little to no cost.

Gambling and smoking seem to go together. And alcohol consumption!

Both activities/behavior are popular with addicts.

Yeah ... it's like retirement!

I can relate. My parents quit smoking years ago but they smoked in house, too.

Weed should be legal. Its not a deadly substance, doesn’t give you lung cancer or have man-made chemicals added to keep you addicted. It has many benefits and society is finally realizing that we were lied to by the federal government for many, many years. But people should have to do it away from areas where non-users don’t want to be around it.

Still have them in the ameristar in st Charles Missouri.

Was there last week. Blackjack gods were kind to me. Hendricks BBQ across the street was excellent.

You don't have to smoke weed.
