Is that what it is? You rabid smokers retreat so quickly to your rhetoric. There certainly are concerns of liberty here, but let’s be honest - your dog is in this fight because you’re completely - physically and mentally - at the mercy of that three-inch-long cylindrical demon.

You're full of chit right up to your eyebrows. I did an experiment last March and quit smoking for two weeks. Not once did I climb the walls for lack of "nicotine," and not once did I yell for detox! It was the actual act of smoking that I missed. I had no withdrawals either. And I have been smoking for a long time. I just love to smoke, period!
Ahhhhh yes. And boy is it good. Sure beats the hell out of booze and prescription DRUGS! LOL
You obviously don’t know me. I don’t smoke. Never have, never will. But I am an American Patriot. Retired Army. Voter. Poll Worker. Freedom Lover. Constitution Warrior. :)
You said: “There certainly are concerns of liberty here...”
Yes, there certainly are! But you “rabid Smoke Gnatzies” are pulling your dog out of this fight prematurely. Actually, you’re all going Belly Up and hoping that a bunch of Nanny State Busybodies won’t spank you on the nose with a rolled up newspaper should you DARE to light up in public, LOL!
So get a grip and please realize that these postings are NEVER about “smoking.” They are about ADULTS and BUSINESSES being able to do as they please on private property and in their own businesses. You will find us fighting this fight on many other topics as well...not just smoking.
What are YOU going to do when you’re the next scapegoat? Smokers were the Beta Version of what’s coming down the pike as far as individual freedoms for ADULT, LEGAL substances are concerned. Not to mention your future ability to get health care, be ALLOWED to reproduce if you have any genetic problems, be ALLOWED to live out your life naturally even if you’re a disabled “useless feeder” no longer able to produce tax dollars “for the good of us all.”
Man, you (and other Smoke Gnatzies) just can’t see the forest for the trees.
If tobacco is so bad for us...BAN IT. Tell Mother Government to suck it up and BAN IT and then she can dip even further into YOUR pocket for tax revenue.
It’s all cut from the same cloth, FRiend. Substitute any LEGAL, ADULT “vice” for tobacco and then tell me that I’m not right. (I’ll help you; Alcohol. On-Line Gambling. Hunting on your own land. Building on your own land. Adding a pier to your shoreline. Owning a gun to secure your property. Seatbelt use. Helmet laws. Speed limits. ADULT Porn. Taxes on hunting licenses. Fast food. Take your pick.)
And if you need a list of the Constitutional Rights you’ve already given up since 1780 or so, or the various Constitutional passages that have been b@stardized to suit the agenda of the Left, just let me know.
I am here to educate and serve my fellow Freepers. :)
And others are at the mercy of their rabid smoker-hatred.
At what time do we load do we load smokers into boxcars, freedomlover?
I hope you’re not “addicted” to the practice of Christianity. The same tools that many on FR celebrate being used against smokers, are already being used against Christianity. Here is but one example:
