Quoted: Never fails to amaze me. Wife and I go to a nice Jamacan style restaurant(anniversery), no GUNS in dining area, just the PARKING LOT. And wouldn't you know it, some dumbass women IS CARRYING CONCEALED. You would think that THE SIGN ON THE DOOR would be a clue to no CCW. She was nice enough to TAKE HER GUN TO THE CAR after the hostess told her no CCW in dining area. Boy to be so PARANOID that you can't quit BEING ARMED for an hour. Even I can stop talking HOW GORE WAS ROBBED OF THE ELECTION for three. How about a nice Canteen Cup of STFU!! |

One time we were at a BAR (no less) and some schmuck asked me to put out the clove cigarette I was smoking because he didn't like the smell.
I lit another one and smoked two of them at the same time while. |

I have never understood why people complain about the way those things smell, I think they smell good. In any case, screw em if they don't like it. |

I don't smoke, but if somebody wants to light, I don't have any problem with it. Except that I do have to suffer the smell of tabacco smoke in my clothes when in the presence of smokers.
HOWEVER..HOWEVER..I must make a huge complaint on one thing about many smokers. Why are so many of them such slobs and careless? What I mean is, if I threw a piece of paper or a soda can on the ground, I'd be littering, but when a smoker throws his cigarette out on the ground, then no big deal, he/she is just putting out his/her cigarette. And I do swear, the next asshole smoker driving in front of me, who throws his cigarette out his car window and lands in or hits my car will wish he got cancer earlier. [b]ArmaLiter[/b] |

My biggest complaint about tobacco is the same as AIDs - it takes too long to do it's job!!
Some smokers are considerate and do not blow there offensive poison in my face, those I have little trouble with. Those who can't read or refuse to accept the fact there are laws that protect US from THEM make me want to ...... Lets just say, there are laws that protect THEM from ME! I think it should me made legal for ANY citizen to use deadly force to counter deadly smoke and enforce the no smoking areas. That seems fair to me. |

Once again I am amazed. We talk about freedom and the right to have firearms but condemn someone for a smoke. Which you think the liberals are more against tobacco or firearms. I'd say about the same! One more freedom will bite the dust while you select the ones you like and reject all others.
You talk about second hand smoke but yet work, sleep, and commute in polution created by your cars and industry that makes tobbaco look like a tinker toy compared to a M1 tank. Do you really think all that smog in LA is from tobbaco. I find overt perfumes offensive but don't slam the users for if they want to smell like a french whore so be it and that too seaps into your clothes. I don't like the alcohol smell on peoples breath but I don't slam those that drink and how many times has a drink been spilled on you or hell your floor. I don't plan on giving up my guns nor my cars and as such don't expect the smoker to give up his smoke! Let's not be hypocritical what do you say. OK smokers don't slam me, I know it is the same as talking to gun control advocates it is wasted breath but I just don't give up. [slap] By the way, most of the good ole boys around here that smoke would bitch slap you silly before you west coast boys could clear your holster. Go hug a tree! |

I'll add that much of the "evidence" of the inherent deadliness of second hand tobacco smoke has been completely debunked. It stinks to hell, but it simply isn't "deadly" to anyone who comes in contact with it. To advocate murdering someone because they smoke is bordering on insane. Then again, smoking is kinda crazy too.

I don't necessarily disagree with people who get pissed when somebody fires up a butt in the non-smoking section of a restaraunt. It irritates me too. But now to advocate shooting smokers on the spot because they "light up near you"?!? Ever try walking away from the offender if you're outside? If you're in a restaraunt, call your waiter over to handle it, since you obviously overreact to these situations. And the idea that smokers are the "bad guys"...no really, I like that concept...I wonder how many 2nd amendment supporters there are who also smoke. Maybe we should just shoot 'em because they are a blight on society, and an obvious hazard to your health. The "statistics" and "studies" say so. Hint: See a pattern in your thinking here? Health care? Let's see...where did that big tobacco company settlement go? [rolleyes] Here's a unique idea: Let's spend the settlement money on what it was designated for in the first place. I know it's radical idea, but who knows? Maybe people will start to understand that the folks who can afford $3 or $4 a pack for smokes probably already have insurance. |

I bet some of you guys believe in the second hand smoke causing cancer.
WEll since this is one os congressman Waxmans ( you know ferret face) favorite subjects, along with banning 50BMG rifles. I think it bears a little closer scrutiny. [url]http://www.smokingsection.com/issues1.html#smoke[/url] Since many cannot or will not take the time to seperate the hype from fact, and facts are few and far between. You will get hysteria. [red]The underlying philosophy at work here is that the end justifies the means;that since a smoke-free society is deemed to be a worthy goal, manipulationof data and even lies are permissible in achieving it.[/red] The EPA officialresponsible for the report admitted in "Science" magazine (7/31/92) that"she and her colleagues had engaged in some fancy statistical footwork" inorder to arrive at the indictment of ETS. The opinions of dissenting EPAscientists were ignored, and references to works not in accordance with theEPA position were omitted from the bibliography of the report. Finally, those gainsayers who actually manage to make themselves heard are refuted not withdata and reason but with character assassination. Do these anti smokers sound like anti gunners? |

It seems generally unfortunate that people are turning to laws to enforce what should be etiquette and manners. I would HOPE that people would have the common sense to not smoke in smoking areas and to cease smoking if someone else is annoyed (I'm allergic to it-doesn't really annoy me in open areas but crowded bars or having it right next to me gets me sneezing) by it, just as people should have the sense to know where and when is the right time to start yapping loudly on a cel phone. Unfortunately too many people have no manners so this stuff results in everday manners turning into criminal offenses.

I have a right to not be sneezing, coughing, and smell like ass while in a public establishment. I won't get into the health issues brought on by second hand smoke. Despite what info may be out there I'm very skeptical that it doesn't have some negative impact on people's health. If they'd like to smoke in their house, their car, etc that's fine with me. I beleive that here in FL the are banning smoking in all public establishments starting in July. |

I would ask the fellow to not smoke because of the poor ventilation system in the building, but of course, it was pretty much ignored. The problem was that the vent system would blow the smoke into my cube and not in the smoker's cube, and in my cube is where the smoke sat. The smoke was so heavy, it would make my eyes burn, and caused my breathing labored. I would go home, and my wife would ask me, have I been smoking? So I had to resort to the fan as matter of self-preservation. |

Whoowh Dude, let me slip on my Birkenstocks and drop a hit of this L-25 before I engage you in conversation. It's like I can tell you are going to be a bummer to talk to man. Always with the negitive waves dude.
I don't care is a smoker smokes. I just want my right to not to have to smell that fucking shit! If I go to a bar I expect to come home smelling like beer, ciggys and cheap perfume. Well, ok, not the cheap perfume part. If I go to eat at a restaraunt that is a non-smoking establisment then I expect that smokers will respect the rules. I follow one rule, and that is: You can live without smoking, I can't live without breathing. Both lead and tobacco are found in nature. Tobacco will not burn unless it is lit, so if it left alone it will, for the most part just die, decay and become mulch for next years plant. Lead just lays in the ground.

I used to smoke (quit 9 years ago, but smoked for 12...used to chew as well)
At a company function of my wife's...we woulnd up sitting at a table with four women that we didn't know...one asked if we minded if they smoked...I replied, "Nah I don't mind, do you mind if I spit?" ....they laughed and though it was a joke. One lights up and takes a deep pull and exhales right in my face. Not once but twice. I asked if she would blow her smoke in a differnt direction, and not in my face. She ignored me. I put a fresh dip of Skoal in, normally I would swallow in prescence of other people, but not tonight. I used the empty water glass and started spitting in it. She got all pissed at me for doing something disgusting like that. I told her if she blew smoke in ny face one more time, I'd spit in HER glass, then in her food and then in her hair. They moved to a different table after that. My wife said that was funny, but don't ever do it again. Hey, it worked. |

Thats when your right to poison yourself ends. BINGO! We have a Bingo! My only beef with smokers is tossing the damn things everywhere and making me smell it when I specifically choose to go to a no smoking area. The latter happened recently in a bar/restaurant. A friend and I went to the no smoking restaruant part when a couple of guys came in from the bar. I just mentioned to them that it was a no smoking section and they appologized. No biggie. Manners and a little common sense go along way to defusing bad situations, friends. |

I don't smoke cigarets. Never have never will, but I do enjoy a good cigar or a pipe now and then. I've been researching anti-smoking ideas and new laws enforcing them and I found that the Anti-smoking people, are the same as the anti-gun people.
It's all about power and money. Nothing is logical, or 'safe'. NYC just got bashed with its smoking ban that is crazy! It is now illegal to smoke in a public place with 2 exeptions. In Oregon you can't smoke in a resturant or bar, office or store, stadium or business. Unless its a smoke shop or they have the latest air filters running, and even then, the company can't have employee's. It boils down to freedom. Do you support people taking freedom away? |

I take a shower every morning, and again when I finish work in the evening. I clip my toenails and clean the dirt from under my fingernails (and I don't use my teeth to perform either task). I also shave every morning, except for that strip of hair above my upper lip, which I'm seriously considering removing. I wear anti-perspirant since I don't believe that sharing your BO with others is the height of good manners. I drive an older, gas-guzzling truck that pollutes the air with hydrocarbons, and I'm proud of it. People make money cutting down trees and selling me lumber so I can build cabinets for wealthy people who will likely want to remodel their kitchens and media rooms again in less than two years (or as soon as the divorce goes through and the wife, who will get the home, wants everything ripped out so she can start "fresh"). The hardest recreational drug I've ever done is Bacardi 151, and I won't try that again. I also don't know what L-25 is, but I'm guessing it's LSD? Isn't it strange that you know more about recreational pharmaceuticals than I do (what with me being a hippie freak, and all)? I don't care is a smoker smokes. I just want my right to not to have to smell that fucking shit! If I go to a bar I expect to come home smelling like beer, ciggys and cheap perfume. Well, ok, not the cheap perfume part. If I go to eat at a restaraunt that is a non-smoking establisment then I expect that smokers will respect the rules. I agree with you. As I said, I don't smoke. But I still don't see where anybody has mentioned anything about "smokers' rights". I follow one rule, and that is: You can live without smoking, I can't live without breathing. That must simplify your life significantly. Both lead and tobacco are found in nature. Tobacco will not burn unless it is lit, so if it left alone it will, for the most part just die, decay and become mulch for next years plant. Lead just lays in the ground. And the whole analogy just flew right by you, didn't it? Quoted: Who said anything about rights? Smokers shouldn't have any more right to smoke in public than you should have a right to fart in public. Maybe you should turn in all of your ammo because it contains dangerous heavy metals that can leech into the groundwater our children drink. Is your shooting hobby really important enough to poison tens of thousands of youngsters? |

Quoted: Micky I'm with you Bud! I would like a law to protect us non-smokers from the bad guys. The law would give us the right to open carry 1911s. If a dumbass smoker would lite up near you you could shoot the stupid sonofabitch. Besides saving the life of the non-smokers there would be other benefits. The cost of health care would go down and the quality of the gene pool in the United States would be greatly enhanced. Yeah and I think we should pass a law keeping dumb fucks from being allowed to post on the internet. |

Boy, we all believe in the second amendment, but if I smoke and throw my cigarette butt on the ground, you want to get up tight and shoot me?? 1. the butt is bio-degradable since it all comes from nature, 2. odds are you'll eat XD 40 before you can finish wrinkling your nose. I smoke in designated smoking areas, am polite with my smoke, and generally believe in not messing with others and not wanting to be messed with. Just cause some old fart ticked you off one time is no reason to blame me. I am an individual, not a class of people.

Are they really, I've found cig butts buried in dirt that had to have been there many many years and they looked just the same, only dirty. Also what's XD 40 and why would I eat it.... |
