Your mindset is very dangerous to a free society. MY children are not harmed in any way by my smoking IN MY HOME and CAR with them present. Never have been, never will be. So what do you propose? Snatching them away because you perceive a RISK? That's scary and very, very bad precedent.
It's the gauntlet of smoke & smokers I have to run to get in or out of a business I resent.
YOU and your ilk created that situation. It's called unintended consequences of total disregard for the advisability of accommodating everyone but demanding it all your way.
It's the smoker in the passenger seat that trys to light up before asking me if they may smoke in my car I resent.
I cannot even imagine any smoker being dumb enough to ever be around you, much less in your car! Do they not know what you are? Maybe you could wear something like...an armband...maybe with a brown shirt or sumpin, to warn them off.
Smoker insensitivity has persuaded me. The force of law is needed here to help nonsmokers reclaim their right to not have to breath cigarrette smoke!
You know, I'm not sure you're fully aware of where you are...this is FREE Republic. Maybe you'd be happier over at one of those more "progressive" places.
Blame the rude smokers that a nonsmoking majority has had to 'tolerate' for too long for the anti-smoking backlash.
Well, now see? You've just blown whatever credibility you might have had by stating this piece of tripe as if it were true. The "nonsmoking majority" doesn't give a flip if people smoke, and the anti-smokers are not the majority. They're just loud and unpleasant so they seem to be more numerous than they are.
Why is it, a ANTI-SMOKER who professes to be a CONSERVATIVE yet does not really grasp the true meaning. This is something I am trying to put my finger on.
Then you shouldn't mind if we put this issue on the ballet just to see how it goes.
