City council members in Port Orange, Florida passed a controversial law that bans outdoor smoking in front of children at public parks and recreation properties, according to Local 6 News.

Port Orange council members said the smoking ban is to protect kids from second-hand smoke and to prevent them from starting in the first place.

Agreed.

This is a prelude to making smoking at home with children illegal.

Actually the avereage smoker outlives the average rump ranger by quite a bit.

False. I know a rump ranger well into his eighties and he is very healthy.

This is the madness of our age.

Under assault from a totalitarian genoicidal ideology masquerading as a religion, we focus on the utterly trivial, putting to lie our freedom of behavior and association, making the traditional liberties and freedoms of America a mere historical chimera, while we focus on hypochondrial, anal, ninnny nanny measure to create the American Utopia.

Welcome to NANNYSTAN. And the Taliban win another one.

Hail America. Where'd you go?

hey custserv...ever hear of aids ??

They're like energizer bunnies. While western civilization and common decency crumble around us, there they go again. Now they are going to tell us not only we must smoke outside, but where outside we will smoke. (While they laugh all the way to the bank with outrageous tax revenues). Gay marriage good, smoking bad. Porno good, smoking bad. As Dennis Prager often notes, our new "god" is health and morals are measured by that yardstick. Meanwhile, Judeo-Christian morality is deemed intolerant and passe. Sheesh

When ALL Democrats and liberals and leftists and socialists and perverts and anarchists are locked up.

Oh, there's plenty of people to thank for these laws:

Democrats scoff at statewide smoking ban (Georgia)

"Democrats had sharp words Tuesday for Republicans who want to ban smoking in all public places including restaurants."

[Bikers4Bush]

Where it comes from is not nearly as important as who is spreading it.

Gays spread it faster and more efficiently than any other segment of society.

AIDS came from primates in Africa, not gay people.

If the queers weren't screwing primates the primates would have never got it.

Nice to have you here for a moment, good bye.

[Bikers4Bush]

That's the point. There are no statistics for smoking related deaths at the same ages as the aids deaths.

Children aren't dying from smoking, neither are teenagers nor 20 somethings.

Lung cancer takes decades to develop for the most part.

Aids does not.

Ban smoking, but make sure they're taught all about homosexual "marriage" and other items on the homosexual agenda...

Well Said!

[F16Fighter]

I'm willing to overlook purveyors of the smoking ban in lieu of my "wish-list."

Yes but smoking can kill you. Homosexuality can't. That's the difference.

I certainly hope you just forgot the 'sarcasm tag'.
If not let me know and I'll cite you some sources about the percentage of homosexuals that contract a life threatening disease vs the percentage of smokers that that contract a life threatening disease.
