When did they make smoking illegal? Oh - that's right - IT'S NOT! As I say... "athlete sticks. enhances performance 10%".
really though. you people complaining need to shut up. someone smoking on the chair ahead of you isn't going to give you lung cancer. If they were smokin' a joint I'm sure this thread wouldn't even have been made. You probably smoke weed don't you (to thread creator). Oh yea, and can you give me a source to vail being a national park? I don't believe that at all.
One thing I will agree with you on - is smoking in the lift line. it's just wrong. As a smoker I don't smoke in the lift line, If I'm smoking and there's under agers around I will position myself in a place downwind from them, 'cause I feel guilty. When I'm on the chair with non-smokers I ask them for permission to smoke before I light up. And I don't flick my butts like they're bio-degradable ('cause fiberglass filters will be around for many years after you flick that shit). About 80% of the time though I roll my own smokes, so they are bio-degradable.
Sorry but, I know people like you, and I think hating on smokers just for the fact that they are smokers is just as bad as someone hating on a skier just because they ski.
Write me a list of everything that touches your skin, everything you eat, what you're cooking on, what your floors are made of, what ski wax you use, what your outerwear is made of, everything that you buy, EVERYTHING. I am very certain that almost all of it is harmful to yourself and others in terms of causing cancer. Think about that before hating on smokers.
