Hehe, I think we ALL do.......

Many people feel it equally strongly, but conduct themselves differently to Dave.

But this poll really has been an eye-opener, & if the current majority stands up, then the cardrooms really will HAVE to do something. Close friends of mine, such as Thewy, Dave Colclough & Junior, tell me how much it offends them, but being gents, they suffer in silence.

But as I said yesterday, the times they are a changing.....

I would quite like to hear a view from Gala & Napoleons on this subject. For sure, if the current majority holds up, this subject will NOT go away......

I agree that most people suffer in silence but would prefer to see it banned. I would sincerely love to see it banned being a non smoker.

However, there is the whole image of the rich business man holding a big fat cigar and playing poker, which makes it looks glamorous to people playing poker. At my university tournament there are definitely a few people who try to copy this image

there's a lot of 'images' about poker we are dispelling, why not make smokey rooms one of them?

As i did previously mention, when you do a poll such as this you should have a "not bothered" option.
You get a flawed result if you ask for yes or no as folks who ain't really interested are forced to vote one way or the other.
It's obvious the outcome anyway but it should be done right or not at all.
You should also run another poll "how many Blondites smoke", this will probably give more of an insight into the poll result.
Just playing devils advocate here as i really am not bothered, never been in a smoking cardroom but i do play cash games where smoking is allowed and well as i say it's no hardship.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life.
Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft?
Of course not.

not bothered = abstain
nobody is forced to vote.
I agree more options are a good idea though. how about...

Hi Ian,

Well I smoke, but it does concern me that I export my smoke to others. Niow I have seen the way the voting is going, it bothers me even more.
