MikeyScuba Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I don't care as long I can get away to fresh air. But I don't mind the smell of a good cigar but I never could actually smoke one (and like it) and I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 This brings to mind a story, the other day we were walking along the sidewalk and there was a chick vaping and a dude was walking kind of behind her. She let out a big bunch of vape (I guess is what it's called), and it reminded me of someone in a diesel rolling coal on somebody else. It was pretty comical. I don't know if he thought it was as funny as I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one should be talking to (except RO) or cheering the shooter when they are making ready. This is a given. Everyone is aware of that. Everyone should be silent to allow the shooter make ready to their fullest potential. If you wanna come shoot and hang out for fun, that's perfectly fine. But there are some serious shooters who are dedicated to push their best at every match. And keep in mind, this is a biased poll since nearly all smokers are going to hard vote on No. You don't wear ear-pro? I'm not a smoker, never have smoked, but this used to be a free country and if you want to smoke....that's your choice and I support your right to make choices. I'm not sure whether this thread started as a troll or not, but since you asked, I voted NO, not only NO, but Hell No! 7 hours ago, Eric802 said: Apparently our sport is now golf. Spectators must be quiet after "Make ready". Maybe the RO's should be given those "Quiet Please" paddles they can hold up. Don't give the snowflakes any ideas!!!

dapribek Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just shot an action pistol match at my local club and the RO was smoking a cigar while running me. I never even noticed until a buddy pointed it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I like to enjoy a cigar during a match. Most of the time I put it down if I'm ROing someone. Not always and I have never had anyone say anything. If someone were to be sensitive about it then I would make sure that I don't smoke around them while they are getting ready to shoot.

Nathanb Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I’m not a smoker. I don’t mind it as long as they aren’t doing it where I can’t get away. Very few I can recall that smoke at matches do so inconsiderately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like it's on you not to go places at allow smoking if you object to smoeking. Some people want to ban shooting ranges. Some want to ban smoking .some gas powered cars . Fyi never smoked tried it .wasn't worth it to be as cool as some of my friends in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunBugBit Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I smoke cigars separately from shooting matches. Cigar and cigarette smoke outdoors don't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say it to be funny, I don’t own an Infinity, and I don’t feel that way. I said it to make people think about what they’re doing in a different light.

Once upon a time we relied on the common decency of others to be considerate, while still allowing people to be free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
