If there was a dump near my house that I believed contained hazardous material, I wouldn't go to that dump. I have no problem with anyone else who might want to visit that dump. If anti-smokers don't want to visit places where there is smoke, they are certainly free to go to places where there is no smoke. Or maybe just stay home, where there are no firearms either.

There are plenty of public health hazards all around us...McDonalds, AIDS, plastics. If this was about banning smoking for public health, the anti-smoking nazis would be whining about all the rest of the public health hazards as well. However, this is a FREE society, not a socialist society where we have to nose into everyone elses personal choices .

Amen sister. It's time we start to take back our country from these socialists, whether it's city by city, election by election, or however. I wish New York all the best.

Setting a drug-laced weed on fire in a public place because you like the effect of the drug is a "right"? That's laughable.

Exactly! This is a long read but a really good one.

It seems to be all about control and money. The anti's are good at controlling and good at raking in the taxes that smokers pay on cigarettes through the Tobacco Settlement Money.

In this day and age, I truly believe that we have a lot worse to worry about then smoking a legal commodity. With the anti's, who needs Osama?!
