Smoking is allowed on golf courses, both championship and executive. Only place that is "public" that I know of where smoking is not allowed is in the seating areas of the town squares.

As a "former" I wish it would be outlawed completely.

I am a former cigar and pipe smoker. I still love the smell of a good cigar or good pipe smoke. I sometimes just go into GarVino's and their smoking lounge to smell the smoke. I miss both a lot but I do know a lot of people do not like the smells at all and I appreciate that.

Cigarettes smell terrible.

I know quite a few reformed smokers who will disagree with you about the smell of cigarette tobacco. I love the smell of a good cigar. Not in my house mind you, but outside or in the garage. I don't mind a good cigar smell.

Good to know! There's another place I'll steer clear of.

I`m a smoker and respect everything said here, and will not smoke if I think it will bother anyone, what I would like to see, is a perfume free areas, what is it with some women, it smells like they take a bath in perfume, thats an instant migraine for me. They should be banned from areas where smoking is banned,movies, resturants, airplanes ect. What are these women trying to hide?

Judging by your previous post of smoking should be outlawed one would think you would know to not go into a smoke shop without someone mentioning that it that it has a smoking lounge.

Anyway, this thread might as well be about guns because just as many people are on the pro side as the con side. My take is the same with both,
smoke if you want but follow the rules, own a gun if you want but follow the rules. Both are your right as a US citizen. God bless America.

I wasn't aware that Garvino's was a smoke shop. Thought it was just a wine bar.

It's actually both so that was an easy misunderstanding. Hope I didn't phrase it too strong. I actually like the smell of a good cigar and the taste of a fine wine.

Don't leave out some of the gentlemen who go way overboard with their aftershave/cologne.

There are both women and men I've had to get away from because of their overindulgence in a scent.

The query is, Where is smoking/nonsmoking allowed?

I hate it when posters don't address the topic!!!

Ok, so we know where smoking is allowed, but I want to know where non-smoking is allowed??? I see "no smoking" signs everywhere but I have never seen a "
"no non-smoking" sign posted anywhere!

I get sooo confused, can I smoke here, can I non-smoke here?

I wonder if Garvino's has a "no non-smoking" sign posted inside it's establishment...you would think so but probably not

And while I'm on a rant...I know that the posts of TOTV member named Fumar are always negative on one specific topic. I am a dog person but it doesn't bother me that he doesn't like dogs but he must really have ticked off practically every dog owner here in the villages. I see "No Fumar" signs everywhere!!

I think you can non-smoke wherever the hell you want.
