You support protecion in the work place, but "never in bars". Forget musicians, do you think people work in bars?
I'm afraid you aren't very well informed on the effects of second hand smoke. Not only does the smoke effect non smokers but there is evidence suggesting that chemicals from ciggarettes in fabric causes asthma in children. Additionally, there are higher levels of tar, nicotine, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide released by side-stream smoke, which is the smoke from the lit end of the ciggarette, than through the filtered end. In other words it may be more toxic to inhale the side-stream smoke than it is to smoke the ciggarette itself. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/04/040407082100.htm |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Wiki ,your not funny and you also dont make any sense.You believe in protection in the work place but just not for musicians,bartenders,waitstaff,restaraunt and club owners.Why are we the only employees who are deserving of your second hand smoke?
As for choice.This is what I do for a living.I cant just stop doing what I love and become a tobacco lobbyist tommorow.
Can I do a little math for you?An average night in a club consists of 1.5 hours setup,4 hours peformance and 1.5 hours teardown times 2,3,4 or 5 nights a week.Does that qualify me for your very scientific statement about being exposed to second hand smoke constantly in an unventilated area?
Thank goodness I am not a bartender or waitstaff or club owner who spend twice as much time in this enviroment.
For your information.I was at the hearing in Lansing 2 weeks ago and there were several club owners who also testified in support of the smokiing ban.
Eventually the tobacco lobby will lose out and smokers will not be able to injure others with their wandering carcinogens,unless they choose to do it to their own family in their cars and homes.That is still their god given right.
