I don't see what's so wrong with banning smoking in public places. We ban public drunkenness, don't we? Anyway, cigarettes are a gateway drug that lead to marijuana abuse and eventually to consumption and sale to children of kilos of freebase crack cocaine.

I'm rolling on the floor laughing about that. You can't possibly be that naive to believe what you wrote....or can you?

You have totally fallen for the lib speak of "public places" and have accepted their re-defining the word public.

Please tell me I'm totally wrong and you just forgot the sarcasm tag........

how is the life expectancy of a gay without aids 41 years?

It will take him two years to catch AIDS, and then it's 39 years.

Is it TOO MUCH TO ASK to let me smoke outside in the rain, or the freezing cold or the snow storm or the sweltering sun?

"I don't see what's so wrong with banning smoking in public places. We ban public drunkenness..."

Smoking is not drunkenness. Smoking bans inside public or private buildings do not require legislation. Businesses ban smoking now without legislative action. I do not need legislative action to ban smoking in my home. Smoking outdoors in public parks should not be banned.

Littering the parks with cigarette butts likely is already against the law, and should be enforced if so, but it should not be the perogative of government to legislate bans on an otherwise legal activity in public, outdoor areas such as parks. This is pure leftist stupidity and another of their control tactics.

Thank you very much.

I will not be smoking in your house or business if I am to visit, and I would most likely refrain from doing so if you were in my house or business. Sitting in a park at a picnic table, is an entirely different situation.

Agreed. BTW, I am not now a smoker, and if I have a guest who is dining with me and wishes to have a cigarette after dinner, I do not make them go outside to smoke.

I have do one building on my property where I do not tolerate smoking - my barn. It is full of hay in the loft, and I do not want a fire.

A barn full of hay - you better believe that is off limits to any burning matter.

I respect the preferences of non-smokers and have no gripe with them. My gripe is with those anti-smokers who believe they have the right to tell others what to do on their private property.

There is a major difference between non-smokers and anti-smokers. I know the difference.

Shouldn't we be more concerned about the disastrous, alarmingly shortened lifestyle of the male homosexuals rather than people who smoke? What am I missing? [the preceding was all rhetorical, of course].

Makes me sick.  There is so much more in this world to worry about, but my Gawd!  DON'T SMOKE.  Makes me want to throw up.

(Forgive me. I still haven't found my complete ping list yet, what with this new computer and all. Bare with me.

Everyone, please forgive me if I missed you!)

I'm pretty sure that having homosexual "relations" in North St. Paul's parks is already illegal.

Coming soon to a park near you!
But don't smoke afterward. ;^)
