This isn't a question of "tobacco addiction."

If you say so.

[crazycatlady]

There you go.

I occasionally smoked Maple CIgarettes as an older teenager..just because they were there... and GIRLS seemed to like the idea.... that was fifty years ago.

But ... that means that you were turned into an addict 50 years ago, hooked to a drug worse than heroin. You are posting from beyond the grave, aren't you.

[Drango]

Why don’t you just go back to DU where you belong?

See you at the voting booth.

[mylife]

Don’t forget to vote to outlaw guns, internal combustion engines and BBQ.

How did young addicts become the responsibility of older addicts; a cohort manifestly unable to deal with their own addiction?

You’re just as big a libtard as any other moron on DU...you belong there.

aha Ive been made. Yes I am the ghost of Conservatism Past.

I got a electric assisted Bicycle a couple of years ago... to begin taking a bit more care of my physical self.

Im pedaling down the lane...when an elderly gentleman in a very collectable car pulls up along side me...and honks and waves....congratulating me for smoking while riding the bike. He told me he thought that it probably irritated most of the rest of the local population here in 9o percent "progressive" central Marin County.

MADE my day he did!

So why aren’t those same voters voting to restrict all alcohol consumption? There are way more teenagers illegally drinking flavored alcohol.

I was a smoker and now I’m a non-smoker. I don’t want to be anywhere near people who are smoking because it stinks and so guess what? I just stay away from people when they are smoking. It’s really a lot easier to take responsibility for yourself than be a whiny, sniveling smoking nazi and tell other people what to do and not to do.

I've helped lots of folks get started growing their own tax-free tobacco. Because of nanny state ninnies jacking up the taxes, more people are learning the joy of growing and curing their own.

Typical nanny statism... it always backfires.

In my day, it was "bear" aka Kodiak chewing tobacco. I quit that as a teenager. Most ladies can't stand guys that chew. Today I'll smoke a rare cigar - an actual one, once or twice a year, but that's it.

[cripplecreek]

My sisters and I used to ride in the back seat smoking candy cigarettes. I was the only one who ever smoked consistently and one sister never even tried it.

[Darren McCarty]

BTW - If it’s outlawed entirely, I’ll start a new business. Why? Because if it’s a stupid law, I’ll break it.

[JRandomFreeper]

LOL! I've smoked a cigarette while on my bike, too. Around here it doesn't raise any eyebrows.

whiny, sniveling smoking nazi and tell other people what to do and not to do.

Your concern for kids is noted. I know...It's "for the children" snark. Do you care if kids can't read? Kids having babies? Or is it only smoking and becoming addicts that gets your knickers in a bunch?

[NautiNurse]

See you at the voting booth.

Does this mean you vote for liberals who support your position banning tobacco products? The same liberals who are taxing and spending this nation into the depths of destruction?

[cripplecreek]

Let me in on some of that action. We aren’t far apart.

We can form the Purple Gang part 2.

[Drango]

No. Actually I’ll be voting with the thousands of conservatives that had said “enough is enough”.

Smokers are retarded. The smoking wars are over. Deal with it. And stop addicting children.
