But if they step 7 metres from the building, they will hit another buidling.  Downtown is so close to the buildings.

I don't smoke although the 7 metre, 5 metre rule is stupid, people will just smoke in front of walkways. Where you have to hold your breath to walk through. I was shocked at all the smokers here in B.C. when I came here. Never seen so many in a non rural southern environment. Somebody told me that it was A) Everyone is ADD B) Everyone is a pot smoker. lol

People actually smoke less in BC than in other parts of Canada.  They only look more numerous because they all stand together outdoors in doorways and under awnings.

Will smokers have to carry tape measures?

purelife

If they don't, I will.   I'll carry tape measures, measuring tape, measuring cups, spoons, and of course, the ruler!  LOL

  And to be on the safe side, I'll wear a gas mask and a hard hat.

Sportsdude

 ah, thanks for the insight lil me.
I was just puzzled, especially at school. When I was at this university in the Seattle area, didn't see anyone smoke at all. Then I came here and it was like I was back home lol.
lol kids, they don't know how to deal with stress.

SD, didn't you say one time that you drink more when you're stressed?

 The CFM boots or the Prostitute heels?

Gopher

Prostitutes heels for cigarettes, and CFM boots for cigars. Unfortunately I'm not sure of the correct footwear for pipes.

by drinking I mean a glass of wine after a day of work. Which is what i do everyday back in the states.
if by stress means procrastination, well then I'm the king at doing that. I'm probably the worst procrastionator in the world.
