Only a Couple Days to the Cigarette Exile

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Well, St. Louis has accepted a smoking ban for all restaurants and bars, with only a small number allowances. I’m so sick and tired of my human rights being eliminated, I’m fed up. I can’t understand the reason non-smokers have such a sharp judgement on what we smokers are doing. I comprehend that smoking is damaging, but I made a conscience selection when I began smoking, observant of the fact it was harmful. Just because non-smokers want me to stop, won’t mean that it’s going to happen. Smoking in bars has been a favor, but most restaurants include a chosen smoking room. If you do not want to breathe in the smoke, don’t sit in the smoking room, you are not unwilling made to sit in smoking. And as far as the employees of these restaurants that comment they are affected by second hand smoke, I don’t believe it. I worked in the service industry for over 10 years, and I know that almost all of thepeople I worked with were smokers.  Doing business with the public, always, compels you to inhale.  And, I have never heard one non-smoking co-worker ever protest about smoking while at work in the smoking room. Putting a smoking ban in restaurants and bars, will only save me money, considering I will not go out after the January 1st.

All I have to have for my Present: Smokes!

I have made a decision this holiday to beg for trustworthy Christmas Gifts that my wife can pick up easily for me. My selection, as always, is my favorite cigar from www-premium-cigars.com. My wife doesn’t even have to leave our house, she can go online (I have all my favorites sites saved) and enter the order there. As far as anything else, she can head over to the local retailer and pick out a gift. She says to me every holiday that I am totally baffling person to buy for. But we have been inseperable for about 15 years! And if she doesn’t realize the things I like by now, I quit. I always mention every year, “I want cigars”, I puff on 1 or 2 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 stogies crisp. So, if you get me some for christmas I can hold them in the humidor for a couple months and remove one when I am wishing to enjoy one. Although I have to say, I was blessed last year, my wife bought me a lighter that was ingraved with my initials. The year before, she gave me a fishing pole, without thinking I said I wanted to go fishing again someday. Well, I went fishing only once after that, but guess what, I still enjoy 1-2 cigars a day. In the end what do I want for the holiday this year? I want Stogies, and anything else would just be an secondary delight.
