Don't you just hate the tobacco police?

Don't you just hate it when you're smoking a fine cigar in a place where you're allowed to smoke and someone comes over and asks you to put your cigar out because they don't like the smoke?

Annoying is it not?

Comedian Billy Connolly mirrors my thoughts!

Haven't had the "pleasure"...yet! As restrictive as Toronto/Ontario's anti-smoking laws are I light up my stogies at the two places I do know that support it and my backyard deck.

So I haven't had my first confrontation with the Tobacco Police yet. ;)

When I do, I will tell them to **** off nicely and if they want it out it they'll have to buy it from me and it will cost them $100. :cigar:

And even then, I wouldn't do it.

Oh and great clip. Thanks!

That's a riot!

Connolly is dead-on.

"This is the only room you can smoke, but you want MEEE to put out so's you can SIT in the ONLY ROOM I'm allowed to F**KING SMOKE?"

I'll use it!

Thank you for posting his video. I've now looked through most of the Billy Connolly videos on YouTube non-stop and I've had some great laughs. :D

On the subject matter...to hell with the Tobacco Police! I proudly wear my badge saying "**** the ban"! :D

I did the very same think in the local Cantina about 5 years ago. I don't extinguish in the bar. The rest of the world is smokeless. Don't want to smell smoke, don't go to a biker bar!!! :D

As a side note I am typically happy to share a cigar with another patron. Light up and build an army of partizans that smoke along side you while at the bar! It works. People see a bunch of cigar smokers, they about face and head out, or sit outta' range.

I love Billy. He use to come into my local cigar shop and crack up the place with his jokes and stories. He told us about 3 years ago he was going to sell his house, buy a boat and sail the south pacific. That's exactly what he ended up doing. Great video!!!

Being a woman, when I take my butt into the local tobacconists & cigar stores and there's that wonderful aroma from all the patrons' stogies drifting through the place, that in itself starts off a lot of the conversation from there. I tell them I'll bet I'm the only girl who comes in here inhaling heavily (I just will not smoke in public. Used to, won't now) to enjoy the aroma. I tell them about a MAD Magazine article years back just as the cigar "boom" was full in motion: "Only a cigar lover could describe an odor similar to an arson fire at a condemned slaughter house, as being 'spicy & aromatic that is both earthy and lingering!'" To Laficion - cum si cum sa.

A few years ago, when smoking was still allowed in bars, pubs, etc., in my country, I was seated in the smoking section of a restaurant, enjoying a fine Havana. A woman behind me complained to the waiter about the odour coming from my table (she had no problems with cigarette smoke!). He said to her, bluntly: "Madam, this is a smoking area. Cigars are therefore allowed. If you have a problem with that, you are free to leave." :) She bit her lip and stayed put. :nyah:

These tobacco police can't see (or don't want to see) that our sad world has far more pressing problems to be concerned about...

A late friend's father wasn't a smoker, but he kept a box of cigars at home and offered any visitor a stick - on condition that they were to smoke it in his presence. He absolutely loved the aroma of Havanas, but hated smoking them.

I just love Billy. His humor helped me through a very difficult time in my life a few years ago.

On the subject of tobacco police, a couple of years ago I was out with Rob and Smithy for a Christmas get together and we ended up doing lawn bowls at Dean Merlo's local bowls club.

We were on the green with cigars and someone asked me if I was smoking dope and would I please stop.

She was in her twenties and I thought to myself, what is the world coming to when the young don't even know what marijuana smells like.

The kids of today, I just don't know.

F$%king tobacco police drive me crazy.

The ones I hate the most are the ones who hate the idea of me sitting at home, in my own f#$king garage... and they want me to stop. OMFG it does my head in. my blood pressure is rising just writing this.

Take it easy Rob, just take a deep breath and light up a nice big old stick.

LOL! ... I'm normally pretty easy going Wazz... but political correctness and do-gooders who demand that I listen to them on how I live my life absolutely do me in!

I'm dryboxing a Lusitania ready for tomorrow night. I'll smoke it in their honour.

Haha, one of the best things you can tell a person who tells you that cigars will kill you is "life will kill you, think about it, it's deep!" then keep puffing your cigar.

That usually makes them REALLY confused! haha =D
