Exactly, the poor children will go without health insurance, and obama will have to put breathalizers in some bill so a curable disease like asthma wont happen.. to the children, and they wont need the emergnecy room..We all need to just buy a pack or two a day and destroy them if you dont smoke.. support the children.. (sarc)

I recently stopped smoking after becoming quite ill w/flu.

Notice, I said I did not say I quit smoking. To this point I have no desire for a cigarette.

What I do desire is for government to stop passing laws that impinge upon those that do care to consume a legal product.

Child hater! (Just kidding!!!)

Congrats! Hang in there! I know how tough it can be!

I’m not sure I get the point, why not just ban cigarettes. Can they even total ban smoking in public and not ban cigarettes. It would seem like a problem there? just asking

[trumandogz]

Texas is an urban state and all the major urban areas have smoking bans.

[Osage Orange]

“They” make money on the sale of smokes.....”They” aren’t going to ban them.

[Hilltop]

:)

Thx LRS. I don’t count the days, I just don’t think about having a smoke.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

So now all the urbanites are trying to impose their will on literally hundreds of rural Texas counties?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

It just doesn’t seem fair. I hope all those stuck-up New Jersey transplants down there fail miserably.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
