[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sheriff: [QB] Mr Troy; Yes it is a little drastic to have to throw someone off the train for smoking. And yes we always give them a warning first. I usually give them a couple of warnings because, I TOO AM A SMOKER. But I have a job to do and if they are stinking up the train by smoking in the restroom then it is my responsibility to do something about it. Heck I'd love to join them to tell the truth but rules are rules. I know how hard it is to go for a long time without a smoke and with the stress of my job it's really tough. Then non smokers have just as much right to have a pleasent ride as the smokers. Jona; yes Amtrak has told their employees of the smoking rules. We know them better than anybody. As a matter of fact we have to sneak around like a 12 year old child hiding from their mommy just to get a puff or two in because of the rules. How is this fair to the employees when the only time we get a chance to smoke is when the train is stopped at a station and everyone else is on the platform smoking and we have to stand there greeting passengers with a smile on our face. Please remember that smoking is still legal. There are some rules that I think everyone should conform to so as not to offend the non smokers. As long as that employee is away from you where you don't have to smell the smoke why should it matter to you anyway?? I'm sorry but I have a low tolerance for people who try to force everyone to be a vegetarian like they are. It's funny how everyone likes to jump on the smokers but it's perfectly alright for someone to get drunk and fall in your lap while you are trying to get some sleep. Although I must agree that smoking is a very bad habit, it is still the choice of the individual. As I said earlier if I don't give the smokers a break and a chance to smoke on the platform I get loaded down with complaints from the other passengers about people smoking in the restrooms. Now some of the Conductors will be very strict and not even let the people smoke on the platform and guess what they are the ones who have all the problems. Just like CoastStarlight99 said about going into the restroom and finding a butt in the toilet and the room smelling bad. Get ready, it's going to happen all the time. CoastStarlight99, the old smoking coaches are being used now. They never came out of service. They just opened the doors while the cars were in the yard and let them air out. [/QB][/QUOTE]
