Cigarette smoker gets sprayed in face with fire extinguisher

This smoker got smoked out.

Facebook video shows a Utah business owner blasting a smoker in the face with a fire extinguisher after the man refused to put out his cigarette.

Jon Bird was puffing on his stogie Friday in Salt Lake City, where he’d been volunteering at an arts festival, when he was confronted by a restaurateur, KUTV reported.

“It’s a customer area,” the businessman can be heard saying in the video, referring to the eatery’s nearby outdoor seating. “You can’t smoke right here.”

Bird insists that he’s standing 25-feet away from the seating area, as is required by Utah law.

“You’re really going to spray him in the face with a fire extinguisher?” someone off-camera is heard asking.

“I’m gonna put that cigarette out,” the restaurateur responds.

When Bird defiantly takes a puff — he makes good on his promise.

“Call the cops,” the sprayer says, adding: “You can’t f–ing smoke right here.”

Bird claimed to KUTV that a security guard told him he could smoke where he was standing.

He called the cops, but the man who sprayed him was gone by the time they arrived, Bird said.

The station identified the man as Alex Jamison, who is involved in multiple restaurants in downtown Salt Lake City, but couldn’t reach him for comment.
