LIKE THIS BAN WILL BE ENFORCED ....
It may be a law, but it will be ignored as we all know. It will be discriminatory toward the poor and people of color.
Anyhoo, who the heck is going in to enforce it? Hah ha, they will run for their life.
Notice the timing, just before midterms, why? So Demonrats can blame it on Republicans. All these adicts in withdrawal will be raging mad. Won’t care about the truth. Won’t be able to concentrate.
How about they ban graffiti, garbage and vandalism?
Riiiiight. I am suuuuure all our cities have the necessary manpower to bust everyone in public housing lighting a joint, crackpipe, ciggy, in their own apartments.
Make tobacco illegal or don’t. This incremental nonsense is just cowardly and pathetic.
“health care costs”
Yes, everyone who lived in public housing before today will get a smoking related illness, if they don’t have one already, because someone smoked there.
In fact, since it wasn’t until the 90s that it was banned in the workplace, anyone who had a job indoors before 1990 is going to die of a smoking related illness.
Would you really tell a Korean war vet who has smoked all his life that he has to go at least 25 feet from his building to have a cigarette?
And just WHO IS GOING TO BE MAKING THIS HAPPEN?
Is there a new .gov anti-smoking popo division I have not heard of?
Are Us TAXPAYERS GOING TO FUND THIS ALSO?
Just when I think the .gov can’t get any stupider, WHALA !!!
Good, until we see media showing pictures of families dumped to the curb. Better to simply ban tobacco entirely. There is no upside to tobacco usage. It is a hazardous product that kills people (including my own father).
I just wish the cigarette makers could start printing the strength estimates again. Light, Lite, Ultra Light, Regular, etc. It’s otherwise quite confusing to both customer and cashier.
It’s worse when the cashier doesn’t speak much English. In those cases, I just show them the empty container and point at it. “Ola, tiene estos?” (Hi, do you have these?)
If I’m at a 711, and the cashier is Paki, I just point, although most of the younger ones are fluent enough in English.
Exactly - anyone in such housing that can afford smokes needs to be ousted.
Okay. Everyone quit smoking. Then, let’s stop subsidizing obesity.
Smoking is one of the indicators of low class and mental illness. There are many exceptions, but the correlation is pretty good.
When you choose to smoke, you choose to be associated with smokers.
This is going to get a lot of people mad at the government.
Good luck with that
