I and 99% of my friends smoke. We do not toss our cigarette butts on the ground, none of us. None of us smoke when in the presence of children. None of us. We all respect other peoples property and do not smoke unless offered by the host. None of us.
You're ignorant statement above is insulting to me and all of my friends. All of us. No one I know would subject you to our smoking if we knew you objected. No one. You, on the other hand, would subject us to your ignorance of our rights. All of us.
Happy 4th of July. I will enjoy my independence from ignorant and selfrighteous people like you in the comfort of my own home and land. If you'd like, I'll freepmail my address to you so you can come here tell me and my own our smoking is bothering you. The hospital is only a 10 minute drive from here.

Go to New Hamphire. Not much coastline but it's beautiful and you can still smoke.
Hey, lady!
Did you get my ping to the card I made up?

Moonpieman's not going to get this message.
All his/her kind cares about is spouting the anti-conservative mantra of the anti-everything.
They care about nothing but making you bend to their will.
Private property owner's rights? Nah, we'll sacrifice them on the altar of social correctness.
What is correct, you say? Ask them, they'll be glad to tell you how selfish, and downright dirty you are.
And now, their kind are attacking food, coffee,fruit juice, you name it. They plan to invade every aspect of your life.

Are you allowed to smoke in your own home? In your car? In your yard?
Yes Gabz. Even the non-smokers are getting tired of this. They see what is going on and are really worried as well what is next on the anti's list. Just a matter of time before they too, are hit with some sort of ban. People of TIRED of it!
And all the while, more private businesses are closing their doors. And why should YOU care? Its no skin off of YOUR back. And your argument doesn't hold water what with all the big smoke eaters today. Ever hear of them???!!!
pity
I don't worry about such dweebs.........
With that said - I've got to leave for work. Tending bar where smokign is permitted!!!!
Today is July 1 and the start of the 4th of July weekend. I am sickened that my state of Colorado chose this date to enact the antismoking law for all public places (you know, public places owned by private citizens).
I know. We have been following Colorado. It's a real shame because Colorado has some of the most beautiful ski resorts in the land!

Nothing sinister. I am referring to the Maine smoking bans. :(
Your post 54 is spot on. Thanks.
I'd love to, but what is it you want me to send Randall????
Perhaps a request for the list's members to try my idea with the cards. Or, you could send your list to me and I can send the pingaroonie, if you want.
Pweeeze?
As I was reading this thread I was thinking about the Ozarks as well. What a beautiful place. I highly recommend vacationing there - a lot cheaper, gorgeous in the summer and fall and you can smoke. (For those who think the Ozarks is just for hicks, a lot of East coasters have homes there.)
