Fishin, ciggies, and cigars

tptrench · Apr-29-2008, 04:43 PM

I was just wondering if anyone out there else feels the way I do about this. I'm a non-smoker and I feel that one of the best parts about long ranging is the ample amounts of ocean fresh air there is out there to breath. There is nothing like it!!!!! That's all cool, but it seems like every boat I get on, at least half of my fellow passengers love their smoking! Even though it is not allowed in most of the salons, most go just outside of it to enjoy their smoke. Most of the time the smoke gets sucked right back into the cabin. That sucks!!!!!
Some days I feel like I smoked a whole pack myself, after spending 12 hours at the rail, downwind from the smokers.That also sucks!!!!!
Now the bad part. I'd say about 90% of those butts are chucked into our ocean after they're finished. The ocean that provides us with food and entertainment and just an overall killer experience.
I'm sure I'll I'll get "ripped" for this post, but I was just curious if anyone else likes the fresh ocean air as much as I do. Peace, out.
I'm sure this won't change in my lifetime and I'll just grin and bear it, but can you imagine a smoke free fishin trip?

You taxed the fuck out of them, kicked them outside, where would you suggest they go? I got a suggestion, buy a boat, put a sticker on it that says No Smoking. Take your non smoking friends on your non smoking boat.

Most of the boats tell the guys that go outside to stay away from the Galley doors. I have no problem telling anyone that won't do it to please move away.

As for at the rail; that's another story.

Just make sure that the crew knows if someone won't move away from a spot that is allowing smoke into the galley.

You know...

I have no problem with people smoking if that's what they want to do... I just don't need to smoke with you. I don't think that's too much to ask.

So as to your idiotic post; smoke on the stern where the only person that has to deal with it is you.

And no, the first poster didn't tax the fuck out of them or kick you outside. You can thank you're elected representatives for that.

Get over yourself and make sure that you don't smoke upwind from me on the rail cause I fucking hate that.

Thank you very much and have a nice day.

You are right, nothing like all that fresh ocean air, salt in your veins, sore and stiff muscles from screeming reels pulling in 100 to 250 lb YFTs, a full stomach from a great meal and a fine Dominican. The only thing better is sharing the moment with great friends---priceless.

I know!!! For some reason, I looked over to see what the fuck he does and started rolling myself!! Thats sooo ironic!!! Hahahhahaha

As for me, I used to smoke everything. Now I dont. Gave up cigars, cigs, and everything else. Does it bother me that other people smoke around me? Nope. Better them than me. I feel it a little sometimes too, but know that I caused way more damage in the past so now it doesnt bother me. Just toss them overboard after you tax the hell out of them and kick them out of the galley. While they are floating, maybe you might wanna snag them too.

as an ex smoker since 94'..i love not smelling cig smoke..but some times [every once in a blue moon]when someone lights up ..that first hit with the match smells pretty good..I now smoke about 4 cigars a year and they are enjoyed for sure..

I try to stay down wind from everyone when smoking.

Then I flip the butts in the ocean in hopes that they will find a seals nose to plug and DROWN THE SOB.

Gotta love that full rich flavor.

swordswizzle · Apr-29-2008, 07:34 PM

Tp,
I have to say that yes I am guilty of being a smoker. I have never thrown the butts in the water, what I do is knock the ember off and stick em in my pocket till the end of the day when I deposit them in the trash, that being said, I here ya bro. The last 5pack I went on the cap said no smoking on the boat whatsoever, luckily my brother had some chew, we were out all day and it was fine. I notice on the long rangers the crew chews the shit out of the stuff. Your right, us smokers need to be more sensitive to others. I'm bringing tins of chew on my next long range.

I'm tired of the non smoking whiners, you don't like my smoke move the fuck up wind. You worried about the damage second hand smoke does...don't be a fucking hypocrite and drive any petroleum powered vehicle....don't think that smog that doesn't allow the kiddies out at recess is caused by smoking cigs.

As long as the smoke isn't blowing into the galley.. I don't have a problem with it... If I am on the rail I can deal with it.. In an enclosed space, it rapidly makes me sick..

Ready4TheYellow · Apr-29-2008, 09:19 PM

Sweet I know how to fish the stern and corners with no crowd now. I'm gonna start smoking!!

i bet he wears pink crocs too!

Why is it that we have to always excuse ourselves. I don't need to excuse myself for
smoking a cigar on the boat. I'm usually pretty considerate about others. But I hate
someone whining about being in the middle of nowhere and all the smoke they inhale.
Next time call the boat and ask if it is a non-smoking boat.

jimgilmour · Apr-30-2008, 06:08 AM

Where I work (Boeing), they are about to enforce a NO SMOKING policy starting some time in 08. That means no smoking at ALL on Boeing property. There are countless people that just stand around all day outside and smoke. Its gonna be fun to watch. Many will retire because of the new rule I am sure.
