I don't smoke but I know salespeople and playboys who use cigarettes and lighters as a way to break the ice and get a good sale or connection

When I was in my teens and early 20s, I ran into salesmen who tried to use pot for that. They'd made the wrong assumption based on how I looked, so that particular technique didn't work on me.

LOL, hippie!

or do you have a 'fro?

hehe

I have short hair now. When I was 18, I had hair down to my waist and looked like Albrecht Dürer.

If my hair had been prone to forming a fro, I'm sure I would have buzzed it off instead of growing it.

What about you -- do you think it is right to ban smokers from pubs, bars and other places?

Yes. When they smoke they aren't just putting their health in danger but also other people around them. Secondhand smoke (the one smokers exhale and the one from the burning cigarette) is more dangerous than the one smokers inhale.

Recently in Japan the ban has extended to taxi drivers and naturally the passengers. People are anticipating the outcome because it has just started this month. Last night on the news, a taxi driver was attacked by a passenger for not letting him smoke. He nicely asked the person to stand out if he cannot hold his craving but instead he was attacked. And what is weirder is that the passenger was also a former taxi driver!

No more smelly taxis, hooray!
