Probably just hysterical anxiety. I've met people who think they'll
get cancer just by smelling tobacco. Lunacy.

Awww, thank you!

It’s so flippin’ scary. The other fascist moves they’ve made in AZ -— putting cold medicines in the pharmacy, practically making you sign your life away to get the. Not something I take because I use homeopathic, but it’s APPALLING. You have to show a DL and sign a registry! But they won’t “card” illegal aliens in our state, thanks to the leftists.

And now, even in small towns in AZ, we look like big prison yards, with Big Brother, futuristic spy cams. Oh, they call them red-light cameras but they monitor our comings and goings and get people turning yellow on the rigged light.

I avoid these intersections and small towns like the plague, but it’s getting harder. In our city, they keep installing the cams in the most conservative and middle class part of town. Not in the poor (including some minority) parts, that would be insensitive. And again, illegal aliens or even just day visitors from another country are exempt.

I don’t think they’ve taken our trans-fat away yet like they have in NY... They did take junk food vending machines out of the county buildings, thanks to stimulus money.

How in the hell is someone smoking outside (with no one around) keeping smoke in your face? Many of these outdoor places are large and not crowded with people.

The problem is that these aholes will eventually ban smoking in your home if you have kids in the house.

The amazing thing to me is the number of supposed conservative FReepers that support the niconazi’s war on liberty.

“Why are people so sensitive to cig smoke when there are much worse scents around?”

Because they have been told to be so sensitive to tobacco. We have a nation of sheeple.

To bad that they banned smoking inside of privately owned property. Then you wouldn’t have to have such an interaction with smokers. I’m sure that they would prefer to be smoking in a much more comfortable environment.

Would you be willing to fight the smoking bans on private property so that you would see it less while you are walking?

LOL!

They are outside because indoor establishments have thrown them out.

The smug sanctimony of America visavis smoking is breathtaking.

The soldier, a hero, is instantly a villian stateside once he lights up.

War on Tobacco has gone a hell of a lot better than the War on Terror.

>big-government liberal

Many conservatives are on too.

No use blaming this only on liberals.

Nanny Conservatives love this Government type of diktat too.

Forget kids.

Blanket indoor bans inside residences, both rentals and condos are already here.

HOA’s have already banned it outside too in some cases, and municipalities are joining in.

And then, cars.

a more odd thing is, muslims smoke just as much

As far as I can determine, I have been and continue to buy my cigarettes from either the Mexican drug cartels or Al Quaeda.

They seem to understand free market capitalism.

I’ve lost count of how many times some trash smoker’s cigarette has burned me or how many times I have to inhale someone’s smoke.

What is the planet on which you live?

Go back there and leave the rest of us alone.

As a person who is very allergic to tobacco smoke I agree with this 100%.

It is not physiologically possible for you to be allergic to tobacco smoke.

An allergic reaction requires protein. There is no protein in tobacco smoke.

If I were you, I would look for the source of your hysteria and eliminate it. Hysteria is the only explanation for your reaction(s).

Why should we have to breathe it? I can’t stop breathing because they want to smoke. Take it home and smoke it.

Don't go where the smokers are.

Problem solved.
