Loveland (Colorado) Reporter-Herald seeks non-smoking page designer

good for you

 

Which further illustrates my point. Smoke on my friend. I'm trying to stop but I hate others who try to infringe on my right to puff.

 

I can't agree with you there.

So, you want to ban cars also? Because they emit things that are not good for us to breath.

Or how about in towns that have refineries, if I choose to live there why should I have to smell it? Shut those places down.

I don't mind smoking bans in restaurants and bars or anywhere inside, really, but outside? Too fucking bad.

If we're walking down the street near each other, a little smoke isn't going to kill you.

 

All good points. That said, this is a private business and they can hire or not hire whoever they want for whatever reason. You hope they judge you on your talent and qualifications alone but often the world doesn't work that way. If you walk in for an interview having had your morning smoke and with the smell on you, you were warned.

On the Front Range of Colorado it is VERY hard to find a place — even outdoors and in public — to smoke without getting dirty looks or harassed in some other way. And though the weather here rivals the Pacific Northwest for my ideal, bundling up for your five-minute break in mid-winter can't be fun.

 

Sure, walking down the street isn't too bad, I'll give you that. But if I'm in an outdoor area, say at a restaurant and downwind from someone, it's an annoyance. And all the other things you mentioned have actual benefits for society, they don't just kill the user.

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHh!

 

so, um ... what do I win?
(secretly hoping it's the roswell gig.)

 

Worked in a lot of restaurants throughout college and I never got a break because during a 7pm rush you dont take breaks. However, smokers always got their five minutes to go outside and smoke a cig.

The saying always was ... I should start smoking so I can take five minute breaks ...

 

How bout the right for the rest of us to breathe, and the biggest problem is when you smokers throw your butts on the ground. You think those simply decompose? Sickening!

 

I'd rather see a butt than a non-smoker spitting on that same sidewalk. Talk about disgusting.

 

Brohard, assuming he's still there, is a nice guy. Loveland is a growing town. Not a particularly advanced paper in terms of design -- at least it was three years ago -- but the staff is pretty nice.

Jeremy Bloom's from this town.
