Seriously, actors. Smoke if you want to. But can't ya wait 30 more minutes???

You've obviously never been around a smoke who hasn't had one in a while.

I know you're just kidding...but if the hot star of the broadway show you love is standing there surrounded by his/her adoring fans, that's exactly what kids are going to think.

AC126748, believe me, I have. But a flight from NY to CA is longer than a show, complete with call-time, intermission, and stage-dooring. If they can handle it on a plane, they can handle it at the stage door.

Stephen Lynch. Does anyone remember that backstage Wedding Singer video on Broadway.com that showed him smoking and playing poker in his dressing room? Not only is that illegal (smoking in the workplace) but it's totally disrespectful to his non-smoking castmates. I have to say I lost a bit of respect for him after seeing that.

He can smoke in HIS dressing room. Many, many actors do.

Really? Is that legal?

I didn't think it was...but I might not be up-to-date on my NY smoking laws.

I'd be very surprised if it's legal, considering people can't smoke in their private offices. What's the difference here?

Many smokers don't care. I worked at an ad agency once where one of the copy supervisors lit up whenever and wherever she felt like it, including my office. I complained, I got laid off. I sued. Didn't have to work for a year. Don't know what happened to her. Hopefully, she's still working in advertising. Would serve her right.

anyone who smokes cigarettes today might as well just stick a gun to their heads and pull the trigger.......and get it over quickly, rather than making themselves and their family and friends go through the pain of watching them die.
Cigarettes WILL kill you......at least Canada has the juevos to put that on their cigarette packs.....

healthy lungs, bad lungs, why is this hard for some to understand?
