Antis set groundwork for home bans.
They are so moving on to the next step!!!

DON'T LET THE HEADLINES FOOL YOU
Court throws out challenge to EPA findings on secondhand smoke - (December 2002) - The ruling was based on the highly technical grounds that since the EPA didn't actually enact any new regulations (it merely declared ETS to be a carcinogen without actually adopting any new rules), the court had no jurisdiction to rule in the matter. This court ruling on the EPA report is NOT a stamp of approval for that report. Judge Osteen's criticisms of the EPA report are still completely valid and is accompanied by other experts.

In NYC if you cuss at someone you can be charged with harrasment. (straight out of Judge Dred). In Texas they were rounding up drinkers in bars for preemptive DUIs.
Let's just cut to the chase shall we? Mr. Gov't, please let me know when I can go pee, I really have to go.

While a growing majority of Americans favor smoking restrictions in public places, many adults still expose their children to significant health risks by puffing tobacco at home
As a former smoker (quit a year ago) I told many people that public smoking bans were just the beginning. Now they are going to go after you in your home. Soon it will be considered child abuse to smoke around your kids. This IS going to happen. And liberals claim NOT to be communists.
Right.

A traditionless nation of self absorbed asthmatics will crumble before the third world invasion like sodden cardboard. I'm glad I had the chance to live in better, freer days.
Mexico doesn't have any smoking restrictions worth speaking of, Aztlan won't either.

I really pity the young people coming up today. Everything is being banned and restricted. No fun no more.

In some states, you can't do that! I'm certain I read/heard that you cannot smoke in your car if you have a child in the car with you.
The same "sound" research behind polls and global warming is going to lead us to a police state seen only in the movies and books.

Mr. Gov't, please let me know when I can go pee, I really have to go."Our records show you haven't paid your PT (PeeTax). Until we hear from you or payment of such, you'll just have to hold it. Thank you for continuing to support our evergrowing Marxist gubbmint."
By the way, we know who you are and where you live and, ahem, how many children you have)

Here we go again eh?
More proof of the old adage that if you repeat a lie long enough, it will become the truth.
Texas has just passed a dollar a pack tax on cigarettes and I haven't decided if I will pay it or not. Wonder what's next if the revenue does not come in?

When it gets too high, smokers will go elsewhere to buy cheaper cigarettes. The lawmakers are nuts!

I know a LOT of smokers, almost everyone I know. None of them smoke around their children, whether it be in the home or the car. They all go outside to smoke when at home. ALL of them.My twins are long gone living their own lives, but when I get visitors who have children in tow, my wife and I smoke outside. Period.Just like I won't light up in any non-smoking places.......(that's why I spend very little $$ at restaurants or bars).
The smoking nazis are just that. There will be no let up or mercy from them. No matter what a smoker might do...."YOU STILL SMOKE AND WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THAT!!!

No escape is there: "Studies show smoking in cars 75 times more dangerous than using cell phones!."
They've got an interesting bait-&-awitch going on down here in Texas now. THey're going to raise the tax on cigarettes by a buck a pack (and raise the so-called Franchise Tax on businesses). I think they hope everybody will get focused on the sin tax and forget about the business tax, which is much more onerous. Seems to be working. I heard a news report that lead "Smokers will pay more to light up if...". The franchise tax was not even mentioned.

Unless they are peeping, how would these people know who smokes in the house?
