Where should smoking be illegal?
A great start would be anywhere anyone complains about it
so all public places, townhouses, detached homes if the stench is detectable off site like a neighbors yard. smoking should be illegal around any child anyone under 21 we asa nation really need to extqunish smoking completely. the fiancial and personal costs, are just way too high |

It's not up to you or big govt to force us to comply just because you think it's bad for us.

How about the people who go mountain climbing and wind up dead or injured and rescue crews have to go risk their lives to save them? Hang gliding? Every summer people drown here at the local beaches, ban that? How about alcohol? How many does that kill a year, want to ban that too? Been there done that. Those people know the risks and still engage in those activities. And paradoxically the libs that want to extinguish all smoking of tobacco are almost all in favor of making marijuana legal. Go figure. |

Does not smoking make you a stupid ****wit who can't think for himself? -- While most Americans believe that getting rid of religion is an impossible goal, much of the developed world has already accomplished it. Any account of a €god gene€œ that causes the majority of Americans to helplessly organize their lives around ancient works of religious fiction must explain why so many inhabitants of other First World societies apparently lack such a gene. The level of atheism throughout the rest of the developed world refutes any argument that religion is somehow a moral necessity. Countries like Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom are among the least religious societies on Earth. According to the United Nations Human Development Report (2005) they are also the healthiest, as indicated by measures of life expectancy, adult literacy, per capita income, educational attainment, gender equality, homicide rate and infant mortality. Conversely, the 50 nations now ranked lowest in terms of human development are unwaveringly religious. --Sam Harris (An Atheist Manifesto) |

Somehow you didn't know I had a cigarette. Now, back to reality. I see you ****ing in the street as I approach, and walk away from you. You see me smoking in the street and walk away from me. Anyway, getting covered in **** is disgusting. Breathing in one lungful of smoke won't do you any harm whatsoever. You need to do it billions of times.

Your freedom of smoking conflicts with others freedom of breathing. If that wasn't so, I'd have nothing against smoking (at least nothing other than unwanted fires). Except of course that this was posted: we asa nation really need to extqunish smoking completely. Add your reply was: Yes. My smoking in my house, does not harm you and it's none of your business. It's not up to you or big govt to force us to comply just because you think it's bad for us. And the same libs who are out to shut down all smoking are out to tell you how much fat you can eat, how much salt you can have, what size soda you can buy. +1 |

Would they still die? Seems to me, smokers die faster and (perhaps) younger thereby reducing the financial cost. Got a light, bud? |

I'm well aware that there's more to life than your cigarette, and the dangerous particles it's emitting. And I'm not talking about you smoking on your own property (and keeping that junk CONFINED to your property), but in public where it IS interfering with the rights of others. You mean like you driving by me walking down the street and me having to breathe in the crud your car is spitting out? |

Would they still die? Seems to me, smokers die faster and (perhaps) younger thereby reducing the financial cost. Got a light, bud? I tend to agree. Smokers generally delay medical care until they are on their death bed and die quickly. It is nothing compared to the cost of the typical hypochondriacs who bleed medicare every day, linger into their 90s and use far more medical services. To be clear, I don't smoke but I am also not offended when people do and I know their smoke is not harming me. Simply smelling a whiff of smoke is harmless, it just offends a few people looking for a reason to be offended. There seems to be a pretty long list of things that offend these people. . |

Yes. the fiancial and personal costs, are just way too high I remember something about how someone who smoked for 40 years has spent enough money to buy a house (and the house isn't putting poison in your lungs). what the hell business is that of yours? Indeed, I prefer a free society. -- Bod That's an odd statement coming from a British subject living in a country where one can be jailed for defending himself or insulting a homosexual. What a country, glad I'm not there. ^_^ [8~{} Uncle Insulting Monster |
