    The truckers took that pretty lightly. I thought they'd blockading the streets and blowing horns (and hookers) as a show of solidarity for their comrade.

    Seriously I think we should encourage smoking as well as other dangerous behaviour. Otherwise life would be stagnant and boring. #tractortrailers

    yep it's all true... Ontario has this retarded smoke free act...

    in construction i have to routinely remind workers that they cannot smoke in their dump trucks, in excavators, and even inside the building under construction.

    the jist of the law is that if there is a enclosed rooftop and two walls - smoking is prohibited.

    for patio's in the summer if two umbrellas are touching you can't smoke in that area as it is technically enclosed

    hell i almost got in major crap for smoking on our office porch - we decided it was best to remove the trellis surround on one of the sides to avoid the two wall rule #tractortrailers

    If he owns the truck, and it's his primary form of transportation when he isn't working, he has a pretty good case that it's his personal vehicle, and that the OPP should STFU (and maybe also DIAF), rather than give this guy a metaphorical UFIA.

    Either way, this is a load of BS. #tractortrailers

    Wisconsin will soon have a full ban on smoking in the work place. It won't be followed at ours.

    I don't smoke, friends who stop by during the day do and will still be free to smoke.

    Customers who want to smoke, can. Those that don't smoke will not be surprised I have no issue with smokers. The smokers, they will kindly put them out when non-smokers arrive.

    We pay the damn taxes on this building, We pay the mortgage on it. It is my families. If it is after hours and a few friends want to have a smoke and shot the bull, they will. Whats next? Are they going to tell me I can't have Beer in the fridge at my work place? I can't read Jalopnik at the work place?

    Write me the ticket, I'm sure a lawyer some where will take it pro-bono to piss off the nanny-state of Wisco. #tractortrailers
