Glad you enjoy smoke and smoking. You are certainly entitled to it; but if I were around you, I would exit the place when you lit up. My daddy died at age 53; he was a very heavy smoker. He had his first heart attack at age 48; no family history nor anything medical associated with it. Mom and I have lingering 'side effects' from breathing in all the second-hand smoke. No, I have never been to a bar or concert, or any place else, where I KNOW there will be smoking; when I've been in a place inadvertently, and there is smoke, I leave. I don't 'preach' or 'complain'; I just leave.

I know the people on Rock Star are just that...'people,' but when you try to make your living with something that can be affected adversely by smoking--namely your voice, you might want to 'consider' the advisability of pursuing that habit.

No argument here; just a different perspective.
