New ‘No Smoking’ Policy on Alaska State Fairgrounds Takes EffectSmokers are still allowed to light up but only in designated smoking areas.Related Content
There may be clouds hanging over the Alaska State Fairgrounds during the next few weeks, but there shouldn’t be any among the displays, food booths and footpaths.
That’s because the fair is trying something new this year—a “no smoking” policy on the fairgrounds. Smokers are still allowed to light up but only in designated smoking areas, and fair officials are still working to get the word out about the new policy. On opening day, fair workers were putting up signs that advised “no smoking” and pointing out the way to the six designated smoking areas for fairgoers who were unaware of the new policy. Fair officials say they’ve had few complaints so far. One woman said she was thrilled that she and her children didn’t have to sit next to a smoker as they dined on fair food at an outdoor table. But not everyone is happy about the new policy. “What happened to America?!” Myra Adney, a disgruntled smoker demanded. “I mean, this is ridiculous. I don’t smoke in buildings, but if we are outside in the free air I think it’s our choice to smoke if we want to smoke!” Fair officials said if a smoker refuses to move to a designated smoking area, they may be asked to leave the fairgrounds. |

Non-smokers don't like the smoke - so let's ban the sale and use of all tobacco products in the state ENTIRELY. And let's send the state troopers after importation offenders and lock them up for bootlegging smokes like they do with alcohol in the bush communities. Sounds like a no-smoking Nazis wet dream doesn't it? Well here's the truth of that little scenario. It's not only unrealistic, but if tried the state would lose mega millions annually in tobacco tax revenues. How would you all feel if you were suddenly looking at a huge income and sales tax to make up the lost revenue from tobacco taxes? I'd bet the non-smokers would have a change of heart pretty quick. Try to remember that the next time you're pushing around the highest user-directed tax paying group in the state.

Forgot the smoking... get rid of the DRUNKS!!! Who wants to take their kids to a fair where people are stumbling around drunk and being rude/obnoxious? If you need booze to enjoy yourself, stay home.

I think it is great! We were just talking about this last night...I have a 2 year old with Cystic Fibrosis (terminal illness) that effects her lungs.. And my complaint was that people walk around and smoke, she cant be around that.. I was a smoker but now I realize that all those years that I was doing that I could of been standing next to someone with such as CF .. and I was hurting them for going out and enjoying the fair!

Wait till the law swings to you you pompous... By the way I am a none smoker, I am a non biker, I am a caucasian male. I have a job. I don't get high. I don't have a problem with those that do. I do drink occasionally. Not to excess as I simply enjoy a mellow buzz. I guess there should be a law against me. I also served my country for 31 years. I am beginning to wonder why.
73056769Paul said on Monday, Aug 29 at 12:14 AM
I do not smoke. I am not a born again health freak dictating how others should live their lives. If I don't like it I leave. I believe the erosion of free thought is worse. Our laws, those that "enforce" them, and the methods they employ have become more invasive with each passing year.
73056693Karlsie said on Sunday, Aug 28 at 6:02 PM
Anti-smoking statutes (they are not laws) are simply one more means of testing the public's willingness to be dictated to without question. The municipality policy of checking ID's for smokers who are obviously over the age of forty, TSA pedophiles who grope children, and now the policy of checking ID's for alcohol, even with customers who return on a daily basis... all designed to surrender ourselves to statutes to relieve us of common sense and turn us into automatons. Each statute we enact as law removes more of our basic freedoms, more of our ability to think for ourselves. If the government was so concerned about our health, why do they ignore the harm caused from industrial pollution, frakking, chemical additives in food and depleted uranium artillery? If you want your health back, as well as your freedom, go after the irresponsible corporate entities.

While we're complaining about just about everything, what about perfumes and colognes. What some people think smells great - not so great! I really didn't think too much about it until one time I was in a cab. I was wearing an expensive cologne. The cab driver was female - she put a cloth over her face and was hanging out the window. As she was driving with one hand, hanging out the window and gasping for breath, I was getting really nervous. I asked if she was o.k. and if there was anything I could do, and please stop the cab. She said it was nothing to worry about. She said she suffered from allergies, and the perfume I was wearing was making her sick. I apologized, said I was sorry, but maybe she should find a different occupation as a lot of women do wear different scents. She said she was aware of that, and it was getting to be a real problem. I quit wearing scents after that experience, and now I am really sensitive to what others wear and some of them are not so nice!

I really cant beleive all this complaining about smoking areas, overweight people, pets, livestock, ect... everyone needs to get a grip. I am overweight from medacations that I talk for health issues beyond my control. I dont mind the smoking areas but lets keep thiss on cigs not other issues.

I am going to the fair, and I will smoke and I will not be stopped. If someone attempts to stop me or makes remarks, then that is inviting a physical assault. Try me.
73026267Chad said on Sunday, Aug 28 at 12:52 AM
Noone dies from second hand eating. people who smoke harm other people yet they claim that its free air. Fail! People who smoke in public and around children should be slapped in the mouth with large stone.
73026054Anonymous said on Sunday, Aug 28 at 12:48 AM
Free air? Smokers claim to free air that they will fill with smoke that my kids will inhale why walking towards a ride at the fair. Is that a free choice of thiers to breathe the smoke someone else creates and damage thier small lungs? People in the valley have no clue. They smoke at parks and in the cars with thier children. It is selfish and stupid. Thier family will have to watch as the gasp for air in a hospital bed in thier late 40 s

How can smoking have any effect on anyone/thing? The world was put here however long ago that may have been, and still has the same weight and materials as it ever had. Humans can do nothing to affect whatever mother nature may have in store for us. Think about it.

The law has nothing to do with smoking, its another right taken away.

A doctor once told me that if you can smell it then you are still breathing it. Even though we may be outside in the "fresh air", if you smell cigarette smoke then you are breathing the cigarette smoke. THANK YOU FOR THE BAN!!!

73014737e-dog said on Saturday, Aug 27 at 3:17 PM
Does it bother no one that instead of expecting people to behave in a responsible manner, we just decide to force them to behave responsibly? Much in the same way that modern medicine has weakened our collective immune systems, these types of regulations undercut the need to behave responsibly. Let's just tell everyone what to do, then no one has to make any decisions. As for obesity, there are many excuses for it's occurence, but most of them can be negated with a modicum of self control. Everyone lives the life they were given, how you choose to live it is almost entirely in your control.

Going to the fair only proves,some people shouldn't have children.Drunks and cusing teenagers is not what I call fun.Next it will be what food will not be served.As a smoker I don't find these rules bother me ,because I don't go anyway.I go to my cabin to avoid most of you!
73014539FEDUP said on Saturday, Aug 27 at 2:46 PM
I don't smoke cigarettes, and I’ve seen some pretty inconsiderate smokers, however there are lots of inconsiderate jerks running around. I'll take smokers anytime over fat people blocking the aisle and to dense to realize they are wider than their cars and the rest of us just have to wait on them until "old wide load" gets in gear and pulls out of the way! I'd take smokers over dog owners who can't figure out why the rest of us aren't nuts about "their pretty baby" when we step in it. I rather take smokers than the idiot drivers in Fairbanks that can't figure out that you don't stop on green lights and go on red! I'd rather take smokers than the rude person that cuts in front of everybody standing in line. I'd rather put up with smokers than when I hear from my kids that all their public school teachers talked about was "how bad their weekend was!"

I did not mean to sound all negative in last remark. Wife and I went opening night, first time at fair in years. The lovely perennial garden between exhibit halls is spectacular. Ma's HotDogs great and the Marines who were playing on the lawn were impressive. I hope that when the committees address the question of those log cabins as today in ADN reported, they plan layout carefully so all the diverse peoples smoking and not drinking and not healthy or not can find greater comfort and ease in finding seats and getting around the fair.
73012133angel said on Saturday, Aug 27 at 1:37 PM
i dont see anything wrong with this, i think its a good idea, i used to smoke but swithed to an electric sic. its safer for everyone. But for the topic of this article, what a lot of you don't seem to realize is they could fully ban smoking completely. its PRIVATE PROPERTY!! not state, public, or federal, its PRIVATE PROPERTY!! they can do what ever they want. if you don't like it, oh well. they are still allowing you to smoke the real cigarettes, or cigars which ever you choose, in a separate area so no one has full on direct inhalation of it, and no one has to risk getting asthma attacks, or getting burned by a passer by smoker. however as for all the other rude comments about over weight people, they aren't doing anything wrong to you, and think before you say things, for all you know they could have a poor medical condition and all you are doing is making them feel worse and i hope you learn to realize how damaging your words are and learn to treat others better. thank you.
73012037Bob Rehbock said on Saturday, Aug 27 at 1:26 PM
Everything in moderation including moderation. A bigger problem is the poor layout of the fair. The walks are too narrow, the open areas too far from the food, the beer areas too separated from the food vendors, an unwelcome unsuitable and handicap unfriendly unsurfaced gravel in the reserved amphitheater seating area are just a few examples.

whiners are worse than smokers and drunks. they should be banished to an ice flow so they can whine amongst themselves and give us who live normal lives some peace and quite.

This is not new for the rest of the United States... stop complaining. Everyone else survived without having to smoke nonstop and stinking everyone else out. What about my choice to not breath in your toxic exhausted from your smoking?? your still allowed to smoke, just walk your happy self to the corner with the rest of the smokers and shush!

Everytime I witness you drunk around my children I want to punch you in the face....fair enough? The smokers don't care if you are all worked up. They are going to smoke. I've found that most smokers are aware they are around non smokers. I don't smoke but I've been around those who do and I've found them to be pretty willing to not blow their smoke in my face. Now the drunks?? they have no clue and too drunk to pick up on clues that they may be offensive to others.

I don't smoke. I use to but quit years ago. I'd rather be around a smoker anytime than a drunk. Just ban everything. The complaining about smokers isn't going to change the fact that people smoke. They aren't going to quit because someone doesn't like it anymore than the drunk will quit drinking because I don't like it. I don't like bikes on the roads but people contine to ride. I have to adjust my attitude and not expect the world to adjust to make me happy. Be a grown up already.

A lot of you are complaining about your rights being taken away, last year my arm was burned by a smoker walking on the crowded paths. I think it is ridiculous that people have to be told not to smoke in such crowded surroundings, they should have had the courtesy to not do it there in the first place, but when you have idiots someones has to make and enforce rules. P.S. the cigarette that burned me was the same height as my four yr old daughter, it would have hit her in the face if it hadn't hit me first!

I am an ex-smoker and i always hated smoking around non-smokers in public places.... I would go out of my way to make sure i was away from everyone, but that is not possible. Its all about the second hand smoke people. I don ot like being around smokers anymore, it used to calm me down and take me back to the old days when i smoked (4 months ago) but now it just annoys me. Now i want to break that persons cigarette and shove it up their noses holes...... But does it say anywhere in the policy where marijuana smoking is allowed or not allowed???? Is there an area for that????

Smoking outside just isn't good enough anymore??? I am sick of it..Personally I find earth polluting exhaust from your car offensive. It gives me a headache. I have the right not to breath your exhaust. We should ban driving within a mile of the fair. it would also traffic. If you choose to drive a diesel you park 2 miles away. I tired of breathing your earth destroying exhaust fumes too.
73000611Nancy said on Saturday, Aug 27 at 5:01 AM
Amazing how we except the government to ban things. There are many things I can not be around, I know what they are and I adjust my life to those things. I accept the responsiblity for myself. I dont expect people to not have pets cause I am allergic, or eat/drink milk products cause Im allergic, or never eat nuts cause I am allergic .. I make sure to stay away from these things because I am allergic but not everyone is .. Why do we expect everyone else to conform to our belief system? What happened to common senses and good manners? Oh yeah I forgot, thats old school and flash mobs are in the in thing. So does the fair have the security to handle that issue if one pops up? May God Bless and Protect America and our Soliders. Oh dear who did I just offend ... well too bad
72995813whofllungpou said on Saturday, Aug 27 at 4:46 AM
Amazing .. Since I know what a great fair is from my years in the lower 48 I have NEVER stepped a foot in the wanna be sadly done cheap looking Alaska State Fairs .. now that smoking is attacked .. I think we should also put rules in that if you DID NOT shower right before going to any state function you should be forced to the stinky section, then there is the FAT section cause we dont want to look at fat people, then there is belief section cause we dont want to view anyone who has morals disapproving of the other group, then there is the ugly section cause who really wants to look at someone not beautiful, then the multi sections for the disabled cause we dont want them to have too much fun ... when did I wake in Russia 50 years ago? And if you fall into any of these sections beware because your neighbor might turn you in .. hmmmmm why stop with smoking? DO NOT attack only one group of the public, hit them all to be fair at the fair. STOP THE INSANITY!! WAKE UP people .. just sad
72995429Kate said on Saturday, Aug 27 at 2:32 AM
I don't understand all the people who are comparing obesity to smoking. As far as I know, there is no such thing as "second-hand fat", and second-hand smoke seems to be what they are worried about. I know it's what I'm worried about. I hate walking by someone and being forced to smell their choice of poison. I am not saying that being obese is a good thing, but honestly it's not the same as smoking. At least when someone is obese, short of sitting on another person, they aren't going to kill anyone else. And for everyone who's not going to the fair this year because of this, I guess they figure that it's your loss and your money might not be missed so much. It's not like they are saying no smoking anywhere ever, they just want to make sure that not everyone has to breathe after you. I don't think it's unreasonable.
72992926A victim of smoking said on Saturday, Aug 27 at 1:36 AM
Smoking takes no brains to start. Now you are addicted,it owns you, it's almost impossible to quit.You will find some excuse to not stop.It is so easy to pull the next one out of a pack, you wouldn't smoke as fast or as many if you had to roll your own, how convenient; more money for the tobacco industry.I caan't go to the Fair, I am on full time oxygen.Even talking is impossible at times. I have emphysema. I wish I had never seen a cigarette.I was big and strong, now walking 50 feet is impossible without stopping. Please quit. You can do it. Don't keep justifying your habit with some lame excuse. It will kill you, at the very least, take years off of your life. Your body was meant to breathe air. Look around you. You don't need to smoke.Live is short at best, why wind up an invalid with people laughing at you in the stores because you need an electric shopping cart because you cannot walk, even with oxygen!If I could help even one person to stop, I have helped someone not Die this way

72991947Sean said on Saturday, Aug 27 at 12:49 AM
The problem with smokers is that they believe that their right to smoke outweighs the rights of everyone else to not have to be exposed to it. Smokers have been exposed to the odor of cigarettes so long that they don't understand just how much they smell, and how far the smell spreads. People tend to be inconsiderate when they don't understand the implications of their actions. Smokers are no exception, and their actions have a much greater capability to affect others since the smoke they produce is out of their control. When smokers light up, everyone around them is exposed. At that point, only two options remain. The non-smoker can leave the area, or the smoker can modify their behavior, voluntarily or by social contract. Since it is unreasonable to ask the larger group of non-smokers to leave the fair when so simple a solution exists. A designated smoking area allows everyone to enjoy the fair with a minimum of inconvenience to the smaller group of individuals. Have fun.

Great Idea! Its about time. What's wrong with a designated smoking area. Face it, non-smokers shouldn't have to breath it.

Plenty of us have been bumped with someone's hot cigarette as the smoker gets distracted or the space between booths fills up with people. Seriously, what happened to America?, Well my guess is that the 'majority' dont want to be around smokers anymore, and in a democracy, the majority usually get the final say.
72990329sith said on Friday, Aug 26 at 10:46 PM
Keep pushing your will on others. Wait until YOU get to pay the taxes that the smokers are paying. Then you will be saying to them to smoke and hurry up.... I won't be going to the fair. I try to not offend people by putting it behind my back or step off to the side, but you can't EVER please everyone. You have it onow where we are standing out in the cold to smoke and cannot even have a smoke after our meal. I have been chewed out so many times by nonsmokers when I was in a smoking section it is ridiculous! Get FAT AND ENJOY your heartattack...

#1 health risk - obesity, it costs our country more than smoking, when are we going to start over-taxing donuts and whole milk? An inconsiderate smoker is primarily inconsiderate, then a smoker. The problem with people who smoke while you're eating isn't that they are smoking, it's that they don't care about the fact that you are eating. An inconsiderate smoker is no worse than an inconsiderate non-smoker.
72989827ivebeennotallowed said on Friday, Aug 26 at 10:22 PM
let me post my complaint. its not vulger or insulting to anyone here. just because humans produce methane gas for which we have a certain pet name is in no way damaging except to the person here censoring this stuff. Ive hurt the censors sensibilities, ooops.
72989722tiger said on Friday, Aug 26 at 10:06 PM
I think it is time that the people stand up and say enough is enough. If you are banning cigarettes then you should be doing the same to the booze. There are more people killed per year by alcohol then by smoke. Lets get real, the main reason for not stopping the alcohol is money. All of the big wigs drink so they won't stop that. Like another person said, the fair is no longer any fun it all a money racket. Family fun went out the door years ago.
72989497CJ said on Friday, Aug 26 at 8:56 PM
Well, if you do not want to smell booze, breath smoke, smell dogs, pigs or other animals and just in general do not want to be around anyone that does anything that you do not....you can always stay home!! It is a free country!! The fair is for everyone..even if you do not like their habits or anything else about them!

What happened to Amercia you say? They finally wised up and are beginning to realize what a health hazard cig smoke is to everyone. You wouldn't stand in a smoked-filled room due to fire, would you? What makes you think standing around ANY kind of smoke could possibly be healthy?? Wake up! >:-/
72987582Anna said on Friday, Aug 26 at 8:09 PM
Either Myra Adney must think that her cigarette smoke magically dilutes enough outdoors as to be rendered un-noticeable by those of us who are attempting to breathe fresh air, or else she believes that "outside" air is not actually owned by anyone, so smokers therefore have every right to pollute it at will. As the child of a three-pack-a-day smoker, I am so happy that we live in a society now that realizes that nobody should have the right to force complete strangers to breathe poison. Now, if they would just pass a law that recognizes that enclosing children in cars with a burning cigarette is child abuse.....................

Remember its easy not to smoke at the fair just eat tell you pop then drink tell you throw up then eat more to get rid of the hang over you may now go home broke and you will have no more money for smokes.

That's right No smoking now it would be so nice if we did not have to smell the smell of booze on anyone out there as well.Now that it is no smoking how about no drinking to. That way the kids do not have to learn what a drunk smells like.Now the kids are free to become obese in while they enjoy the clean outside air!
