There was a time I would have agreed with you. My complaint about cigarettes I guess has to do with consistency. If it was anything else, it would have been banned completely years ago. Money and addiction does strange things to people's common sense.

Well, I don't consider it an addiction.  I smoke because I enjoy it.  I am not fat and I can't drink anymore.  I have to have ONE bad habit! heh!

I can't believe you are all for government control when you are a FReeper.  I just can't believe it.

What with the big smoke eaters the business's installed today, you really have to look to see if anyone is smoking, they are that good.

Perhaps your sense of smell is dead. Any non-smoker has no problem telling when there are smokers in a restaurant smelling the place up regardless of the so-called "smoke eaters."

But I do not believe that the government and the nanny anti's should have been allowed to go in and possess a private business and force a smoking ban on them… I can't believe you are all for government control when you are a FReeper. I just can't believe it.

Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a corner of the pool to pee in. Why do you think it is your right to inflict your smelly, nauseous habit on others? No one “has to smoke,” but everyone has to breathe.

If you want to use tobacco products that do not necessarily affect the environment of anyone else such as “chewing” or “dipping,” you’re welcome to it without my objection. Of course, I do not want to have to pay for your medical care when you develop oral cancer or heart disease.

Not being able to breathe will do funny things to you

Sounds just like I used to. If you ever quit smoking you will realize how silly you sound when you say things like that.

Cigarretes are an appetite supressant. What happens to many women who stop smoking is they gain a huge amount of weight, and die at 45 of a heart attack.
