third hand smoke...lol you people are just incredible to the legnth you'll go. Oddly I am 43 and often I am told I look 30 something. So blah blah blah phfttt!!!!!
It smells disgusting and so does BO. It smells just as bad as BO but there are deodorants for that. It is a well known fact that smoking causes premature aging. Careful or you may end up looking like Kramer on Seinfeld when he was exposed to all that smoke
I didn't make up third hand smoke its a fact.
I don't understand how you can willingly put your health at stake everyday.

Just have a glass of healthy soy milk ... take your flu shot, and you won't have to worry about third hand smoke.

what's so funny to me is that this whole telling other
people what to do, is just going to move
down the scale to drinking.
mark my words, it will start like this;

first people are going to want to outlaw wine and
beer in restaurants where children are present,

then it will become illegal to drink at concerts
due to some poor little thing getting beer on their
shoes/shirt.

then no drinking at ball games, basketball games because guess what?
there are families and children involved. they don't want somebody getting out of control
in front of them.

see the pattern? I mean , how can they possible willingly put their
lives at stake by drinking? it will be called second hand drunk.

once smoking has been banished , even in peoples homes,
"they" will move on to the next item , drinking in public.

this need to tell other people what to do is
cross political , I am starting to believe it is a
mental illnes that we need to invent a new drug to treat . ha.


as far as soy , I am totally in agreement , it is poison ,
same for corn .

I just want to know why it would great if they made the use of tobacco illegal, and the person complaining about it doesn't even smoke, or dip. Why do so many people think that their lifestyle is the correct one, or the one that is suitable for everyone? And why would making something illegal that you don't even do change your life?

Just wondering. Thanks.

I don't think tobacco should be made illegal. I don't smoke, but I have health problems associated with second hand smoke, since my parents were like freaking chimneys when I was growing up.

Smoking has been proven to cause heart disease, cancer, COPD, just to name a few, and nicotine is as addictive as heroin, you want to smoke, that's your bidness, just like if you want to drink, your bidness.

It becomes my bidness when your choice of a lifestyle threatens my health or the health of people I love.

You get into a car drunk or you blow smoke into my my kids or grandkids face, then you deal with me.

When I am at work and it's (smoke) break time. I walk on my break, it's a heck of a lot healthier!! But it seems like the smokers smoke more often then I can walk. What's up with that???

Its ridiculous how smokers knowingly endanger their health everyday and just don't give a damn.

It is your choice to gamble with your health. You are not allowed to impose that choice on me.
So, if I choose to smoke in front of my own front door and the breeze carries the smoke next door and my neighbor, who doesn't smoke, happens to be out, I'm supposed to 'put it out'? Sorry, but that's intrusive on MY life.

It's smokless tobacco. Skoal? Comes in tins, and is packed and put in between your gum and cheek. It's different than chewing tobacco.

If you still don't know what it is just google "skoal" or "dipping tobacco"

Keep the spit to yourself and pay for your own gum cancer therapy, then no, no problem.
