High-tech building + no smoking = ...



  • They banned smoking at the workplace (at least, inside the building) here in the Netherlands some time ago. This includes a café, restaurant or bar, as they have employees as well.

     So now truckdrivers are trying to find a loophole (and going to court about it) so the can smoke in the cabin of their truck. And yes, they are indeed the only person sitting (or probably even ever coming) there, 8 (+ overtime) hours a day. I can't really blame them. What non-smoker are they pestering, sitting there all by theirselves in the cabin trucking from A to B?

     Other than that (and probably other "I'm the only one ever coming here, let me smoke if I want to!" jobs) I'm happy they banned smoking from the workplace, as I don't have to sit in the smoke all day long. I'm quite used to it though, as both my parents smoke a lot, I just prefer not to have to be in the same room.

    Unless you are one of the millions of people (like myself) who smoke and work in a city where there is no car nearby.
    Why would you want to live somewhere like that?  That doesn't sound very desirable.



  • This whole thead is stupid and so are most of you.  I have made a nice list to summarize:

    • Smoking is bad for you, but so is just about everything fun, like drinking and drugs and sex and coffee and so on.  We all are going to die someday so what I choose to do with myself is none of your fucking business so long as it does not directly impact your ability to do what you want with your own self.
    • I have to wonder how many of the people on here who are bitching about smokers engage in dangerous activities.  Given obesity rates, I'm going to guess at least 25% of the anti-smoker whiners are fatasses who will probably drop dead long before me.  Also, alcohol kills more people than smoking and cars more than both combined.  Pollution from industry, additives in food, red meat, car exhaust, etc... are all killers.  Grow the fuck up and accept that you will die someday.
    • Nobody should be forced to breathe in another's smoke, so smoking in public buildings should be illegal.  However, private businesses, bars, etc.. should be able to decide what they will permit inside their doors.  If I want to open a bar and allow smoking, that's my fucking business.  I own the bar, I take responsiblity for its upkeep and I take the risk of losing business.  Personally, I would not permit smoking in a bar, restaurant or office I owned but that's still my choice to make.  If you don't like what someone else does, then do something about it, but don't go crying to the government so they will put a gun to my head and make me do what you want.  That kind of attitude makes you a whining shithead.
    • Blowing smoke into someone's face is shitty but whining because you got a whiff of smoke while walking past a smoker is the epitome of being a crybaby bitch.  Look, smokers saturate themselves with this shit every 20 minutes for years before it causes serious harm.  A tiny bit of second-hand smoke mixed with outdoors air is no threat to your health.  Hey, you can even dislike it, but keep your opinion to yourself.  I hate people who wear those goddamn "Crocs" shoes or who wear t-shirts or buttons with lame-brained political statements but I act like an adult and keep my opinion to myself.
    • I don't think there is any smoker out there who doesn't know smoking can be harmful.  Bringing it up doesn't make you look clever or healthy and none of us are impressed with you.  Some people are addicted and it's hard for them to quit, but they can if they have to.  The fact is, people choose to smoke.  I can quit very easily but I like having a few cigarettes during the day and I am young and extremely healthy so I am willing to take the risk.  Pointing it out just makes you the most annoying kind of self-righteous prick, though.  Yeah, they're motherfucking "coffin nails" and "cancer sticks", we know.  How would you like it if everytime you got into your car I shouted "Hey, hope you don't get disemboweled in that ton of sharp steel and glass moving at a high velocity!" or reminded you that the iPhone in your pocket may be giving you testicle cancer or that going for a jog might get run over by a drunk driver?  I mean, really?  It would take a real obnoxious piece of shit to constantly remind people of all the little risks they are taking in their day-to-day actions, yet somehow this is okay to do to a smoker.  It's not going to make us quit (in fact, most smokers will probably smoke more) and it diminishes the joy we get out of smoking.  So not only are you encouraging people to smoke when you remind them smoking is bad for them, but you suck whatever joy it gives them out of the experience.  Thanks, assholes.
    • Nobody is equal.  All people are individuals.  Employers pay employees to work.  Some people are smarter, faster, better.  Some people not so much, but they get along.  Some people take 20 minute smoke breaks, some sit and work all day.  The smoker might be a far more valuable employee than the workaholic, though.  Your employer pays you what you are worth to the company.  If an employer feels that his or her employees are worth less because they smoke, then that is his or her judgement call.  If your employer doesn't "crack down" on the smokers, maybe it is because they really don't give a shit.  Or maybe they do care but you are so incompetent that they feel you need to work more than your smoking coworkers to earn the same salary.  If you have a problem, bring it up with your boss, don't make broad proclamations about how you are so fucking put-upon because some coworkers take breaks and you don't.
    • If an employer wants to ban all employees from smoking, that is their right.  Even if it is in their personal life.  They are paying you and if the job is worth it, then you will do what they ask.  Personally, I'd never work for a prick like that, but that's just me.  If any employer doesn't want to hire gays, blacks, smokers, non-smokers, non-native English speakers, whites, Catholics or whatever, that is their fucking choice.
    • Smokers pay taxes like anyone else.  If you had reasonable, free-market insurance then you can be damn-sure the actuaries know how much more smoking costs and take it into account.  If you have public health insurance, then paying for smokers is kind of the whole fucking point.  Socialized medicine is meant to spread the risk regardless of personal factors.  Supposedly it's "wrong" to refuse top-notch (well, considering socialized healthcare "middle-to-lower-notch") healthcare  to someone if they made some bad economic decisions and cannot afford free-market insurance, but if that same person decides to smoke then holy fuck we better not let them abuse the system.  Abusing the system (and being abused by the system) is the point of socialism, people.  If you don't like it, toss your awful leaders out on their asses and implement free-market reforms.
    • For the record, every study I've ever seen says that in the US smokers are a net benefit healthcare-wise.  That's because smokers tend to die younger than non-smokers and the diseases they contract kill them more rapidly.  Smokers pay into Social Security, Medicare, life insurance and health insurance, but how much do you really think they get out of the system?  If you want to look for the real expenses look for people who survive into their late-90s and require two decades of expensive treatment as their body slowly, naturally falls into rotting pieces.  Acting like the biggest burden on our healthcare system are the folks who are diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 59 and drown on their own pus and blood a mere 4 months later makes you sound like an asshat.

  • @campkev said:

    In my younger and dumber days, that might have lead to a fight, but not because I have a stick up my ass, but because blowing smoke in someone's face is a dickhead thing to do.  Personally, I don't give a rat's ass if you smoke.  Second-hand smoke doesn't really bother me personally.  But the sense of entitlement displayed by SOME smokers, like the OP, pisses me off.  You don't have a right to smoke at work, and your employer certainly isn't mandated to cater to you.  And if you blow smoke in the wrong person's face, you are going to get your ass beat.  And yes, getting your ass beat and having chronic bronchitis and emphysema hurts more than just having chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

    So you are admitting you got that stick up there?  If not, check again, you might surprise yourself.

    Dude, lighten up.  What part of "I rape your lungs with my smoke" or "My cancer is your cancer" makes you think I'm being serious?

    I was just leveling my argument to DOA's firing squad level.

  • @Digitalbath said:

    I guess I'm ignorant on smoking with regards to insurance, but I'm curious as to why smoking within 10 feet of the building would invalidate your insurance?  Is it just a fire hazard thing? </SeriousQuestion>

     

     

    Who knows, but at one place I worked at we were told that we could not eat lunch at our desks. Insurance thing to do with the proximity of office equipment, they said. Instead we were to avail ourselves of the tiny staff room...which had a PC and photocopier in it!

     



  • @fatdog said:

       Unlike most people, I can admit I "have a stick up my ass" on some issues, but in general, I'm a pretty laid back guy.  Do whatever you want as long as you aren't hurting anybody else.  Unless they ask for it like your momma did last night.

    They won't let horny men rape them for even a single second! So selfish of them. Don't they understand how we males NEED to use them as our sperm depositories like the smokers need to use our lungs as their ashtrays?

    How can we men help it if we are addicted to raping? The women need to make allowances for us, don't they? We rapists are victims of being addicted to rape when young and surely women can't now expect us to be anything but what we are. Look, we are trying hard to quit raping - surely they can just put up with us raping them occasionally, right? Just for a single second?

    Wow, the loons are out in full force tonight.  Comparing being raped to breathing second hand smoke is not only stupid, it is an offense to people that have been raped.  Does breathing second hand smoke cause deep psychological problems for the victim for the rest of their life?  Do smokers often murder their victims after they breath in of their second hand smoke?  Are you unable to sleep after breathing in SHS?  Do you experience nausea and loss of apetite?  Do you have mood swings for weeks afterwords?  Honestly, if you think second hand smoke is bad for you then there is plenty of evidence that you can offer to support that theory.  However, this comparison is beyond hyperbole.

    You've already shown yourself to be a spastic, humorless fool who picks fights for no reasons, so you are not off to a good start.

    You know, if you expect others to not comment on your posts, you should be expected to do the same. Judging by your history, I have no reason to expect any kind of change in behavior.

    We are attempting to maintain a decent community here and we ask that you do the same or move along.

    Actually, it appears you are trying to strong arm any dissent of your opinion out of here. That is a bit disturbing, but I take some comfort in history, since this kind of tactic never works in any community.

    Wow, the loons are out in full force tonight.  Comparing being raped to breathing second hand smoke is not only stupid, it is an offense to people that have been raped.  Does breathing second hand smoke cause deep psychological problems for the victim for the rest of their life?  Do smokers often murder their victims after they breath in of their second hand smoke?  Are you unable to sleep after breathing in SHS?  Do you experience nausea and loss of apetite?  Do you have mood swings for weeks afterwords?  Honestly, if you think second hand smoke is bad for you then there is plenty of evidence that you can offer to support that theory.  However, this comparison is beyond hyperbole.

    Clearly TDWTF has been linked to by the likes of Digg, Reddit, Slashdot or some other abysmal site.  We always get a flood of trollish n00bs when that happens, although it had been peaceful for awhile...

    I don't much like to smell farts but I don't try and make farters stand 10 feet from the building while farting.

    This is a far better analogy than my "ugly people" one, so I retract mine and substitute yours.  Seriously, people, grow up and deal.

    I say if people are seriously stupid enough to smoke, let them. More stuff for me in the world when they die.

    Flawed logic: -379 uKants.

     

    1) We all die and there's no guarantee a smoker will die before you will.  Given that most people die of non-smoking causes, it's silly to assume you will outlive smokers.

    2) Since "stuff" is actually the result of productivity the loss of individuals actually means less opportunity for trade and less stuff for you.  This is why an increase in population usually means an increase in wealth, not decrease.  lern2economics

    3) With all the women I've raped, I have surely created thousands upon thousands of little Morbs to carry on my work, meaning I will outlive all of you.

    4) Did I mention that I'm a God?

    As for the rest of people here? I don't really think you speak for them...

    I'll tell you if I speak for them or not.  And I do.  So there.

    Of course he speaks for us.  Much the same way as how Borat speaks for Kazakhstan.  Or how Eric S. Raymond speaks for all of us...


  • @Ilya Ehrenburg said:

    Because it is indeed way beyond hyperbole, completely devoid of wit and really offensive to rape victims. Of course he is allowed to post such things (there are plenty of offensive posts here), but he must be prepared to have others point out what disgusting drivel he posted. In this case, I completely agree with tster.

    Your words are like sweet, delicious honey wasted on the likes of him.  Slave no longer to spread your wisdom, my furry little bumblebee...

    I can see that.

    At least one of those is a fictional character.

    ...more rambling...

    Again, I am not sure why you feel the need to argue, but I am very happy if you smoke. Nothing makes me happier.

    You're in rare form tonight, and by "rare form" I mean "the midst of an alcoholic binge taking you well beyond the LD50 for an adult grizzly bear."

    Also, honey bees puke out the nectar over and over in order to create honey.  I'm not sure how that works in your analogy, but it turns me on.

    Interesting. I have been lurking here for a while now (joined today, yay me!) and this kind of off topic, non sense rambling seems par for the course.
