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

[Sportsdude]

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

[Lil Me]

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.  

[Gopher]

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.

   

[Gopher]

And safety shoes, Purelife?  

[purelife]

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.
