Now, I can just picture you sitting on your hands and not saying a word if someone called something you did "excrement." There is really only one thing that comes to my mind when I read that word.

And you expect us to just sit here and let your snide remark pass on by? No way Jose!

Cigarette smoke is inhaled, then exhaled (excreted). Therefore, I call it "excrement" and have done so since I quit smoking 27 years ago.

I really don't care if you like it. I don't like inhaling others' smoke, er, I mean excrement anymore than you like my choice of words.

And, if you could get past your irrational emotionalism you would see that I was essentially agreeing with you that government is overstepping its bounds by disallowing smoking in private establishments.

Stop with your attacks on me, and go back and re-read what I posted to you.  I did acknowledge your statement about private businesses.
