November 19, 2002 -- THE anti-smoking climate in the city is getting so fanatical, indignant non-smokers are taking the fight to the streets. Literally.

I was nearing a busy intersection at 47th and Sixth last Friday night when she hit me.

Call the cops and get her committed.

This little woman had the right to assault him for smoking in her 'home'--I'm certain that her home is the street.

What a nut-case.

Correction to my last post--I see that the writer is a woman, Johanna Huden. I read 'six feet tall' and made the assumption that it was a man.

I would've assaulted you to... but only because you have smokes and I don't and I'm jonesin' for a smoke.

Should have beat the little terrorist 'til the white meat showed!

I was verbally assaulted in a local bar once. The bar was exceptionally long with pool tables at the back. Some bozo was shooting pool and decided to park his buns right beside me (at the opposite end). Then, he started giving me the eye until I lit up! The guy went off and told me not to blow smoke in his direction and went mad, the way people with issues do, so the rest of the patrons made pyramids in the ashtrays with lit cigarettes and started puffing like crazy. The guy had a few too many so someone reported him for dui right after he stormed out! I broke no laws but he broke a biggy!

I think I'm in love!

Johanna, would you let me buy you a drink? And a pack of Marlboros? (In New Jersey. It's a lot cheaper!)

Last year, I pulled a $5.00 bill from my pocket and handed it to a Salvation Army guy.

Then I stuck a cigarette in my mouth and lit it.

A woman standing next to the guy said out loud, loud enough for others to hear, "I was going to give you a kiss until you put that damned cigarette in your mouth!"

I responded immediately, "Well, then, wait just a second!" and I started slowly undoing my pants.

We were in front of a Sam's Club, in open air. I later learned that she had been standing there, making such comments, for about a half hour.

Smoking is probably the only vice these idiots don't have. Like those peaceniks' women who formed the word, PEACE with their naked bodies.

[metesky]

An excellent response, old Chap!

[metesky]

The fight gets physical!

FILE ASSAULT charges ASAP.

When useless people need purpose in life, and otherwise serve no useful purpose, there is nothing like a mindless crusade to make them feel like something other than an idiot loser.

There was a lively debate a couple of days ago on this topic. The best the anti-smoking nazi could do, (cinFla), was say (paraphrasing) "smoking stinks and causes cancer, and so do you!". After this newsflash, those of us who were debating the REAL issue, FREEDOM, folded our tents in the face of superior logic and went home.

"...Call the cops and get her committed..."

Too complicated.

Just stub your cigarette out in the bitch's left eye.

LOL! When people complain to me about the smell of smoking, I jerk back as though they have bad breath. Sometimes, they really do. Do more non-smokers eat garlic?
