yoink 321 #5 November 19, 2004 No. I'm not.... YAY! Edit - the DZ is by far the hardest place to be if you're trying to quit. We seem to have an abnormally large percentage of smokers in the sport compared to the rest of the population... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingbunky 3 #7 November 19, 2004 that sucks! we have a couple of simple rules at the dz. 1. no smoking in the packing area, period. 2. don't throw butts in the landing area, use the butt buckets. other than that, it's just common sense not to smoke around something expensive and nylon. if you're having a smoke and someone is approaching with an armload of canopy, get the hell away from them!"Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."
