Strippers to protest at State House (Smoking Ban in NJ)

Hotels know that once a room is a smoking room that non smokers won't stay in it anymore. I have seen people turn down the last room in a hotel because of the smell. On a cold snowy night in northern Michigan I was the 5th person in line to give thumbs down to a stinky smoking room.

Cry me a river.

Why do you always have to be so nasty?

If 20 to 25% of the population smokes why should a hotel allow smoking in more rooms than that? Isn't that enough?

I'm all for it.  Smoking and non-smoking rooms is the way to go.  This way, everyone is accommodated.

Why do you always have to be so nasty?

Because of your nasty attitude towards smokers.  And why do you single ME out? Plenty of others in FR that smoke yet you zero in on me.

I am quite aware of how you feel about smokers so you don't have to keep rubbing my nose in it.  You can't say anything new to us that we haven't read from you before.

I am not nasty to you. I do poke a little fun at misconceptions when I read them here, sometimes they are yours, sometimes they are others. If I appear redundant it is because I see the same misconceptions stated as fact over and over again.

Surely you don't believe that the ones fighting the war on smokers are just pulling this stuff out of thin air, right?

I always have links to back up what I state when it comes to information.  If you choose to believe the anti's or you choose to believe what we put forth, that is up to you.

But I know in my heart that I am backed by reliable links and reliable researchers.  If you are just going on the fact that you think smokers stink, that doesn't account for nothing.  Several in FR feel the way you do.  But not all.

I am going by what I know as fact in my life, you are going by what pro smoking groups tell you is fact. I have no connection to anti smoking groups, I don't read their stuff. So what I say is anecdote and what you have read is the gospel. When I point that out to you (in a joking manner sometimes) you think I am attacking you. I am glad I don't feel so threatened that I miss read what is said to me.
