]]> Sat, 29 Mar 2008 07:36:57 UTC 3361012 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/3360913?utm_medium=rss Ever since Club 520 has moved into our building, my quality of life has greatly diminished. My bedroom, which sits over the cigar bar, now smells of smoke- everything from my bed linens to the clothing in my closet. My visitors who have asthma cannot sleep here because it aggravates their respiratory issues. I no longer walk down the hallway that sits above the bar because of the overpowering odor and second-hand smoke and must take an alternate route to the parking lot.

This coutry is in such turmoil as it is and there is such a lack of respect n this country for so many things.It saddens me that our country continues to loose total respect for our neighbors, friends, stangers etc....

]]> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:05:08 UTC 3359944 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/3358195?utm_medium=rss We want our friends to be healthy so that they will come visit us often.

]]> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 03:27:36 UTC 3358195 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/3357958?utm_medium=rss I avoid certain friend’s homes that smoke because I hate the smell on my clothes. To live with that day in and out must be atrocious, not to mention the potential second hand smoke issues. I was thrilled when RI went smoke free in public places and actually go out more often because of it. If we no longer have to be subjected to, it in public than affecting residential customers certainly should not be tolerated.

I have to walk the hallways and stairways and use the elevators and the smoke and smell is awful and VERY unhealthy! I don't think any kind of ventilation system is going to work due to the structure of this buiding! There shouldn't be any options for a smoking license in any establishment in RI.

Nonsmokers exposed to 2nd hand smoke at work are at increased risk for adverse health effects. For those of us that do not smoke our homes are a haven that should not be invaded. Smoke leaking into your home is dangerous to your health.

]]> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:56:20 UTC 3357464 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/3357278?utm_medium=rss I absolutely agree with the petitioner. As an RN, I have seen the deadly results of second hand smoke. As an ex-smoker, I promote smoking cessation at every chance I get. As the daughter of a life-long cigar smoker, I know first hand the noxious odor and smoke that emanates from cigars.

Not only the residents, but all of the employees of the bar are at risk from second hand smoke. This should definately be confined to a freestanding building if Rhode Island is still allowing smoking in public places.

]]> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:39:42 UTC 3356619 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/3355843?utm_medium=rss Cigars are great but they shouldn't be enjoyed at the expense of the residents living above the bar.

]]> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 07:24:01 UTC 3355577 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/3353743?utm_medium=rss I agree with the concerns of residents having a smoking bar in the building.

]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2008 10:39:53 UTC 3353743 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/3353531?utm_medium=rss Not only is the smoke that is created by cigars poisonous, but the smell is noxious and causes significant illness in many of us. I am personally allergic and exposure to it results in a miserably long period of time with stopped up and runny nose, itchy irritated eyes, and cough with difficulty breathing. Some efforts should be made to assure that the passive effects of this horrible habit are not forced on others.

]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2008 09:50:41 UTC 3353531 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/3353523?utm_medium=rss Throughout my childhood, my dad was a seriously addicted smoker...4 to 5 packs of cigerettes a day...in addition, he smoked cigars and pipes. My mother (a non-smoker) suffered from a chronic cough and the theory is that was in part caused as a result of 2nd hand smoke. My father ultimately got throat cancer...had 35 cobalt radiation treatmnts; & it was the only thing th/ finally caused him to stop smoking. Cigars are particularly noxious and residents shld not have to suffer frm 2nd hnd smoke

We use barriers at the bottom of each door to try to keep out the smoke circulating in the hallways, with limited success.

]]> Wed, 26 Mar 2008 03:04:40 UTC 3341869 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/3341850?utm_medium=rss The smoke permeates the common areas as well as our town house unit, which is on the opposite side of the building from the 520 Club. The smoke is especially noticeable and unpleasant on weekends, which is when we often have our 4 yr old granddaughter visiting, and thus exposed. The entire building smells stale from constant exposure.
